Thanks for all the replies. To clarify, I've never had a new vehicle, always been a couple years old. At the moment, a lease doesn't look like a good fit for us.
I am starting to go a little crazy though, not having a vehicle capable of towing. The good news is, I've widdled down the old honey Doo list ! Two more items to go, for now.
Ordered a point one antenna two days ago, it was at home tonight. Have some more items to get to make it work. First I need to figure out how I want to set the NMEA network up.
Gonna repack hubs and replace seals on boat trailer, that way when I get a tow vehicle, I'll be ready !

On a separate note - what vehicle would y'all recommend and why?
Nissan Pathfinder
Chevrolet traverse
Hyundai Santa Fe
Kia Sorento
Above list is no particular order, kinda. Whatever I get will be used.
At the moment, the Pathfinder gets the nod. One dealer we're working with offers a lifetime power train warranty. We've bought two cars from them now, luckily we haven't had to put it to the test. So I'm not convinced whether it's a marketing ploy or not.
It meets our requirements, for the budget and features. I'm aware it has the CVT transmission, which alot of people are mixed on. We currently have two vehicles with a CVT.
Thoughts? Experiences?
