Co-worker needs a three row SUV, the newer the better. $10-15k target, under 100k miles, luxury amenities required, as-is AWD/4x4.

Top contenders right now are Veracruz and Outlook. Both are available fully spec’d at 80k miles for about $9k. What other options are out there?

GL or R class. R is based on the GL chassis and only looks like a minivan, definitely does not drive or perform like one. I can give you a list of what to look for if there’s actually any interest there. Some of the other’s ideas are really good though.

Kia Borrego. No one knows what it is, so prices should be alright.

An older Lexus GX definitely. Haven’t checked the prices on those recently but I’m sure there’s something in the $10-15k range.

EDIT: Quick search I found a couple with under 100k miles and they’re around 2005-2006.

 GAH! What’d I do!?

So far they’ve been excellent. I don’t know about earlier ones though because we only got that engine for ‘14 (IIRC) and up. Not sure if you got them before that or not. Honestly though, GLK’s in general, particularly newer than ‘12 are excellent. The most issues I’ve seen on the diesels are software and DPF’s, which have all been well under warranty, and aren’t that common to begin with. That engine is a pain to work on, but it seems to be very well built.

Pilots should be on there 2010 EX-L with 97K

2013 Ford Flex AWD SEL with 81K

Ones im not sure on reliability

2012 Subaru Tribeca touring with 83k

2011 Volvo XC90 with 79K

Its not an SUV but what about the Ford Flex? It has third row seating, And came with an AWD option.

There seem to be a fair few in the 10-15K target price on Autotrader

Toyota Sequoia

Might be a little hard to find one under 100k miles, but it can be done. Plenty will be right at (probably around 10-30k) over that number, but it’s also a Toyota and will run forever.

Sounds like my wife’s 06 Tahoe. Leather seating for 8, 4x4 with rear limited slip, picked it up for 10 large a couple of years ago with 90k on the odometer. It’s not perfect but we love it.
