We are in the second installment of our series on road tripping in a family vehicle! There are many types of vehicles that offer 3
rd-row seating to fit passengers or cargo. A
mid-size SUV is a great option if you are looking for sportier styling than a minivan, but don’t need the high ride height or towing capacity of a large,
full-size SUV. Luckily, across our many brands, we offer many options to fit your family’s needs perfectly, whether you are in the Pittsburgh area, Youngstown, or anywhere in Western PA!
From Dodge, we offer the
Durango. From Mitsubishi, we offer the recently-redesigned
Outlander. From Kia, we offer the
Sorento. From Chevy, we offer the
Traverse. And from Ford, we offer the
Explorer. Here’s a quick rundown of what each vehicle has to offer:
Dodge Durango SUV
The 2021 Dodge Durango has been selling fast, not only because it starts at just $32,570 and can seat up to 7 passengers, but also because it offers several performance trim levels that make it the fastest grocery-getter around! The Durango tops out at 710 horsepower with its 6.2L V8 on the SRT Hellcat trim. You’d make it home from errands in record time! Another unique feature of the Durango is its maximum towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped. Shop Durango

Mitsubishi Outlander SUV
The
all-new for 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander was built from the ground up to give a completely new experience for the customer. Although it can seat up to 7 people, it lives on a smaller crossover’s base, making it more compact than other offerings, and giving it better fuel economy of 27 combined mpg. The 2022 Outlander starts at just $26,990. Shop Outlander

Kia Sorento SUV
The 2021 Kia Sorento is also a recently-redesigned model. With seating for up to 7, plus sporty styling, it sits on a smaller platform like the Outlander which gives it up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway! The Sorento is available in a hybrid option as well for even more economy. The Sorento comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. If you like the looks of a Kia but are looking for something a bit bigger, the
Telluride is also a popular option! The Sorento starts at $29,390. Shop Sorento

Chevy Traverse SUV
The 2021 Chevy Traverse is one of the few vehicles in this segment that offers seating for up to 8 passengers, with either captain’s chairs or a bench seat in the second row, plus a bench seat in the third row. In addition, it also offers best-in-class cargo capacity, which means you can fit almost anything you need to without having to move up to an even larger SUV. Another unique-to-the-segment feature is its maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The Traverse comes standard with keyless entry, LED headlights and dual-zone climate control, and starts at just $29,800! Shop Traverse

Ford Explorer SUV
Last but not least, the 2021 Ford Explorer is a popular vehicle in this segment, and for good reason! The Explorer seats up to 7 passengers and can get up to 28 mpg on the highway. Plus, it can also tow up to 5,600 pounds. But on the inside, you will enjoy many creature comforts such as 6 standard safety features, a standard 8-inch touchscreen and available heated seats and steering wheel.
