I've about had it with my gutless, 4 cyl. Mazda king cab pickup and am looking for something a little more comfy for commuting and eventually towing. I know nothing about SUV's, but am thinking of something along the lines of a small one - no bigger than an Explorer or Honda Pilot. I want a cheap one, as it will only be used to go back and forth to the Vienna Metro and hauling car parts occasionally. Only firm requirements are at least 6 cyl. and automatic. What kind of beater can I get for under $8k?
