"Nick Has an Exocet" (nickallain)

My parents are coming out to the Bay Area next month and we’re driving from SF to Yellowstone/Montana. We rented an “L-Class” SUV from Hertz. I’m hoping for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I may see if the location (it’s my local place) will take a special request. It’s kind of the only complete-package SUV in the fleet for that class. Everything else is either gutless, dull, harsh, or just plain old.
The site says “4runner or similar”, which apparently includes:
Chevrolet 0-60 by Next Year’s Equinox
Ford Edgeless
GMC Rarely Sees Terrain
Hyundai Santa Fe
Jeep Grand Rascism
Mitsubishi Endeavor To Be Remembered
Xssan Xterra
Dodge Adjourn-ey
Ferd Explerrer

A 4Runner is by far the best of all those options, especially if you’d actually like to use it off road at all.

Not likely to see any offroading on this trip. I think it would be fun, but my mother would probably kill me, hah.

Presumably the Xterra would be capable as well, but I’d wouldn’t expect many of those left in rental fleets given that it has been out of production for a year, and they normally cycle quickly.

Rented an Edge last month. Very decent crossover, best driven in S instead of D. It’s most interesting if you get a Titanium that can park itself!

Haha well it’s still probably one of the nicest of the group to boost. Hyundais have actually gotten pretty good too, for a mall cruiser.
