Needs to be under $24,000 so I don’t have to finance out the ass

Needs ground clearance NO WAGONS

Needs to seat four adults comfortably

Needs to have plenty of space for coolers/camping gear/fishing gear. I do a lot of outdoorsy shit and need me space.

Things I Don’t Want

Anything that Lexus makes

Chlamydia

A Jeep Wrangler

This:

4x4 - yup

V8 if available, if there is a V8 available. I require that. -check

Needs to be able to tow a 20 foot boat - sure

Manual if possible - no option, so you’re good

Needs to have under 120,000 miles on it - 114k is less than 120k

Needs to be under $24,000 - 24=24 it checks out

Needs ground clearance NO WAGONS - not a wagon

Must be 2007 or newer - 2012

Needs to seat four adults comfortably - yup

Needs to have plenty of space for coolers/camping gear/fishing gear. I do a lot of outdoorsy shit and need me space. - it’s called a range rover

Needs to have some options Ex: TRD, Z71 - see previous answer

rimz - check

Go for the XTerra, in Pro-4X trim. A nice one will leave you with enough left in the budget for decent speakers and a touchscreen head unit with a backup camera for rather good sound quality.

I just can’t stand the interiors. They’re like plastic dungeons from 2005. Also not a huge fan of the styling. I appreciate their capability, but not the execution.

They don’t fit four adults comfortably though (unless the folks in the back are amputees). If Nissan could have gotten away with making it a two-door, it definitely should have been. They do have manual available though! The 4x4 is electronically actuated (post-2005) so you can only row so much.

That said:

“Any form of wagon”? Then why are the 4Runners, Grand Cherokee, and Xterra on the list? ;)

In any case, how about this amazingly great idea? http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=443764814

4x4: Check

V8: Check, and it’s the bigger of the two available ones

Tow a 20 foot boat: How heavy is the 20 foot boat?

Manual: Nope.

Under 120,000 miles: Check.

Under $24,000: Well, you could probably get it under $24,000...

Needs ground clearance: It’s a TrollBlazer.

Must be 2007 or newer: Check.

Four adults comfortably: Check, and I think the Swedes might have actually done the seats, too, so make that VERY comfortably?

Plenty of space: Check.

Some options: All of the options.

Reverse camera: Well, you could retrofit one...

(OK, I’m being facetious, I’ve got no idea what to suggest. But, that does check most of your boxes...)

You should buy some old military truck. So what if they have a million miles? They are designed to be fixed in the middle of nowhere with the but of an assault rifle!

The vehicle you are describing is literally exactly what Tahoe/Suburban/Expedition/Escape’s were designed for. Why exclude them?

Sequoia too big? Highlander too basic?

Pilots aren’t terrible, early 00s X5s are pretty awesome and in your price range.

Fit adults comfortable, V8? I’d still go with a Tundra. I’m 6'4" and even fit reasonably well in the back of a DoubleCab. And the CrewMax just has a crap top of room in the back. You lose out on the manual, but that would be the same for most full size V8 trucks, or at least a difficult find, I would think.

I love my Taco, but fitting 6 footers in the back comfortably is not happening. Even when my 5'2" sister visits, I have to move my seat forward to give her room, and I don’t drive with it all they back to start with.

What about an Avalanche?

The Tundra is just so massive though. My parking spot at work is small, my parking spot at my house is small, all of the streets around here are small. It would be such a damn struggle just to park the thing. Also the horrible gas mileage kinda throws me in a loop about them.

I’ve looked in getting an Avalanche, but I just can’t into the styling. They seem really useful I guess, but there’s just something about them.

I really like the F150. It’s big and comfy and a Lariat can be had well within your criteria.

This one is brown:

They are huge, that’s one reason why I got out of mine. It’s hard to find something 4x4, comfortable for 4 adults that isn’t going to be large.

You’ll have an easier time finding a manual heavy duty diesel pickup than a manual gas V8 truck or SUV

Completely agree. I bought a fully optioned out 2015 F150 Lariat FX4 SuperCab (ext cab) with the ecopoop, so much torque, it will accelerate uphill @ 1000 RPM at almost any speed. I drove the Hemi Ram and 5.7 Tundra and the Ford is just better in every mesurable and intangable way. Drive one, you will be sold, look for a Lariat with the 502A and FX4 packages, this gets you most of the goodies

I drive new trucks regularly for work (I work in a shop that does aftermarket leather) and the 3.5EB will roll hard. A few weeks ago I drove an older 5.4 Expedition and then the same week a 14 or 15 with the 3.5 and it was like a whole different world.

There’s a 12 Platinum SuperCrew FX4 in the shop today for a roof repair (factory sunroof issues) and even with 108k hard, Pennsylvania miles, it feels tight as a drum.

Of course, they’re still too expensive for me, but if I were in the market for a full size pickup the Ford would be on top of the list.

Also, if you go for a Frontier with the 4.0, get an external oil cooler.

Try and find a 2014+ Silverado 1500. Love my 2016 to death.

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/701304061/overview/

May not be a Z71, but the stock suspension is pretty good, and the price leaves room for upgrades. (I don’t know your exact zip code, but I’m sure there are several options around you)
