I have a 6, 4 and 3 year old. Honda Pilot works great for us. 3 car seats in the 2nd row, it's safe and reliable, great awd system, decent hp for that segment, and almost 30mpg on the highway can't beat that.
Those saying minivan is a must with 3+ kids, don't know how to pack the car efficiently. |

3 kids here, got the X5 with 3rd row. Quite honestly the trunk is not that big even with the 3rd seats folded down, but 95% of the times it does everything I need it to. It's an awesome highway cruiser, love taking it on road trips. A hitch will also give you great versatility when you need it.
With that said there are great deals going on the Lexus GX460, might want to take a look at those. For the money I think you can't beat. |

Have you seen the GX460? The only thing uglier is the Infiniti QX80! At least i wouldnt have spent 50-95K and still not want to be seen in it!
I'd rather the minivan! |

I have 3 kids too Ram, ford or Chevy all similar imo Good for every day family needs, more than a few friends will need borrow it I'm sure... Brother has 3 kids too, his Denali is luxury like the Escalade overkill for a young family small kids don't mix with air conditioned seats that will get apple juice/milk spilled into, with a truck who the F cares, let them be messy, get a x7 when they get older |

All of this doesn't mean that getting 3 kids into an SUV or supercrew truck is not possible. Certainly it is and people do it all the time. That doesn't remove the fact that these are NOT the ideal vehicle for the stated purpose of carting 3 small children around. Luckily, you are the one who gets to make the final decision on what your next car will end up being. Happy shopping! |

Speaking of Dodge the new RAM is pretty sweet. I have never been a fan of the RAM but the new one may make me change my mind. The new GM Silverado/Sierra on the other hand, it's like GM didn't even try.

We have a Yukon and love it, but only two kids at the moment.
We recently had some service done so we were in a rental minivan for two days. Aside from the crappy handling, gutless power, and crappy sound system. It did its job well... transporting kids. It was so convenient!! My wife and I are anti minivan. I have to admit getting eveyone in and out was so easy!
