If you're looking for a vehicle that combines passenger space, safety, and versatility, a used SUV is hard to beat. Here in Northeast Mississippi, SUVs are especially popular because they handle well on rural roads, offer plenty of room for families, and can tow boats, ATVs, and trailers when the weekend calls for adventure.
At Front Line Direct Auto in Corinth, MS, we regularly stock these top-selling family SUVs. Here are five models we consistently recommend:
1. Toyota Highlander
The Highlander is one of the most reliable three-row SUVs on the market. Toyota's reputation for longevity means a used Highlander with 60,000–80,000 miles still has plenty of life ahead. The third row is usable for kids, and the cargo space behind the second row is generous.
- Best for: Families who want bulletproof reliability
- Seating: Up to 8 passengers
- Budget range: $22,000–$32,000 (2019–2022)
2. Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban
For families who need maximum space, the Tahoe and Suburban deliver. These full-size SUVs can seat up to 9 passengers and tow over 8,000 lbs. The 2021+ redesign brought a much-improved interior and independent rear suspension for a smoother ride.
- Best for: Large families, towing, road trips
- Seating: Up to 9 passengers
- Budget range: $25,000–$35,000 (2017–2021)
3. Honda CR-V
If you don't need a third row, the Honda CR-V is one of the best compact SUVs money can buy. It's fuel-efficient, comfortable, and holds its value exceptionally well. The cargo area is one of the largest in its class, and Honda's reliability record is second to none.
- Best for: Small families, commuters who want SUV versatility
- Seating: 5 passengers
- Budget range: $18,000–$28,000 (2019–2022)
4. Ford Explorer
The Explorer is a perennial favorite for families who want three-row seating without going full-size. The 2020+ generation is rear-wheel-drive based (with available AWD), which improved handling significantly. The ST trim adds a powerful twin-turbo V6 for families who like a little extra under the hood.
- Best for: Families who want a balance of size and maneuverability
- Seating: Up to 7 passengers
- Budget range: $22,000–$30,000 (2018–2022)
5. Jeep Grand Cherokee
The Grand Cherokee offers a premium feel at a non-premium price, especially in the used market. The Limited and Overland trims come loaded with leather, heated seats, and a great infotainment system. The available 4x4 system is one of the most capable in the segment — perfect for Mississippi's occasional rough weather.
- Best for: Families who want luxury and off-road capability
- Seating: 5 passengers (L model seats 7)
- Budget range: $20,000–$30,000 (2018–2022)
