I say you can rent a truck from Home Depot or uhaul for like $20 a day on those few days that you need one, and just have two vehicles that you like for everyday.
Consider a cheap trailer if you find that you need to haul things frequently. More space than a truck bed if you need it, and you're not stuck with a truck.
By far, the best thing to get with kids is a minivan. They’re going to do everything you want and give you the space you need. Make sure it has three rows. Captain seats are great. Now if your ego will not let you drive a minivan Get an SUV. According to the Internet, Kansas in the northern part gets 19 inches of snow a year and in the southern part gets 8 inches. You do not need all wheel drive for that. Front wheel drive is good enough. I come from a place that averages 100 inches of snow a year. I think you’ll be be able to sell that snowblower. You’re young think of it as a work out. Go with the Lexus, Toyota, Acura or Honda SUV. Buy it used 3 or 4 years old. The Lexus and the Acura are going to be expensive, but they are definitely worth it.
I'm rooting for a minivan. The functionality and comfort is amazing for road trips. The newer ones have such amazing features, like cameras to see back rows from the front row. I don't have kids, but do 10 hours road trips at least every other month from Arkansas to Minnesota and the adults and dogs can spread out in my Kia Carnival minivan! I love the lower height to get in compared to my old Kia Sorento SUV. It's great for young kids and dogs. Automatic sliding doors are also great with a bit older kids. You won't have to worry them accidentally dinging someone else's car.
Nothing is more satisfying than when that side door slides open for you on the minivan (I had the Odyssey). Especially when you have your hands full and kids in tow. Also, don't skip the heated steering wheel, no matter what you choose.
We have a 4 year old and an 18 month old and the mini van is absolutely a game changer. Sliding doors are underrated and we've been able to haul large pieces of furniture with it. You could take a look at the Kia Carnival if you want something that looks like an SUV but is a van.
If you just need the truck for now while you're settling in to the new home, then i wouldn't recommend a truck. Especially since you don't like trucks. Then what happens in a year or two when you no longer need the truck?
I have a 4Runner, and I love it. The back window opens if I have something long sticking out. I have a third row (3 kids) and a tow hitch with a small trailer for camping or Home Depot runs.
Great update! Sounds like you’re settling in well! I raised 4 kids and my all time favorite car that I still have is an Acura MDX. I haul tons of stuff from Lowe’s, it has 7 seats and the seats fold down easily. A truck is great too but very expensive on gas and tires! Good luck!
So I know a lot of people crap on fords but fun fact everyone in the horse world around me has a ford. I’ve had fords my ENTIRE life. As have my parents, grandparents, and uncle. My husband is a mechanic and prefers fords over a lot of others (except Toyota and Honda). I have an explorer now and when this one poops out will be getting another. They have a hybrid form which is nice and I think they might be making a plug in. I have 3 kids. Also my mom has an expedition. Her second one. The space is wonderful, it’s super comfy, and the second row seats move forward even when there are car seats installed. If I had the money it would be an expedition for me. I’ve also had an Edge (that thing lasted forever and had so many miles and was still chugging along just fine when I traded it, so a good midsize option) and an F150. Friends of mine that have SUVs from competitors have way more issues than I’ve ever had. I will say though vans are incredible for the sliding doors and ease of getting kids in and out of the car. It’s much easier than an SUV. Also you can put down or take out all of the seats (usually) and have a large space to work with to haul stuff around. The Kia Carnival I’ve heard good things about and it looks like an SUV if you really hate the look of a van. I saw someone comment about Lexus or Acura. They are nice and last but if you need to do repairs it will be much more than a regular car. Again husband is a mechanic so I know and have seen first hand. He refuses to buy Lexus or Acura because he knows how pricey repairs can get with them. Just sayin
Get a minivan! Rent the truck for the purpose of what you are doing or keep borrowing. After the house is done what will you use it for? Will you then want to keep driving that truck without all the space in the back for the kids as they get older and playing sports?
You can also consider a truck with a large back seat. We have a crew max tundra and the higher end ones have all of the luxury you’re looking for. That’s what we have and it serves us well. It’s a lot of truck though. I really cannot envision being a home owner without a truck. just carrying lumber is so difficult.
If you are going to look at a Highlander, test drive a Honda Pilot too. It feels bigger on the inside and you can get captain seats in the 2nd row. Both are great options.
I drive a Highlander Hybrid with 2 kids. Perfect amount of space for them and all sports gear. I’d go for the Hybrid. Great mileage around town to and from all the things. In my area I fill up once a week for about $35.
Alright I have a great option for you that has truck practicality yet is a very comfortable and economic family hauler...Honda Ridgeline. It's basically a Honda Pilot with a bed. Has a proven and reliable engine/transmission. Low cabin noise. Lockable in-bed storage which is excellent for groceries or luggage on trips. Probably averages 22-23 mpg combined which is excellent for a mid-sized truck. Out of all the mid-sized trucks I believe it is the most spacious. I have a 2018 and love it!
Armada and truck, you will need the truck for those off moments and you won't want to go rent a trailer, just get in your truck and go. Armada is extremely specious, great for road trips, and maneuvering back and forth between front, middle and third row, as an adult 😅also love it for those random potty breaks while on the road, two toddlers in car seats and cat fit 3 adults in the back, I actually tested the third row while 8mo pregnant and was sold because we love going places with the grandparents in the same vehicle.
Subarus are very popular with people with young children around here. I see them in carpool lines all the time and have for years. I'm not a Subaru driver, but I wouldn't let the second thing kid deter you if you already have one. We finally bought a new Toyota SUV (NOT luxury) last year and while I love it, I'm glad I didn't get too used to it until we could easily afford it. Cars are such a slippery slope. Insurance, maintenance, and repairs are more expensive with it just because they are worth more.
If you decide on a truck, my husband has a Toyota Tacoma with 6ft bed and I even like driving it. I'm a minivan mom and I have driven the bigger trucks in my life and hated them. The Tacoma feels like my minivan.
We have two kids 3 and 1. After we settled in our house we traded in our 2014 Tacoma for a 2022 Honda Passport Trailsport. You can find them used very reasonable. They have a ton of cargo space, can tow 5000lbs with a natural V6. Extremely roomy back seat, but it’s only a two row, we didn’t need a third row with only 2 kids, might trade for a three row later down the road if we find we need it for some reason. We found the Tacoma to be too small for car seats in the back while I am driving as I am 6’ 1”. Other car is a Corolla it is our beater for driving into the city or the airport for work travel.
My husband and I both drive Honda Accords, with 2 carseats we can't fit anyone else. Every time we did road trips when they were little we always rented a larger car at least a 7 seater for more space and to take my mom along. Get a larger family car.
If you wouldn’t buy a truck in general and are only thinking of getting one because you moved recently, it would make more financial sense to rent a truck on the days you need to haul stuff. The home projects won’t last that long once you’re settled in. No reason to be out over $40,000 when a rental might cost you $100-500 total depending on how often you need it.
I have so many things to say 😂 1) I LOVE an S-10. I had one in my 20s and it was great. It is not family friendly or all that good long term though. We own a small garage, several vehicles, and do all our own repairs. Our 2009 Silverado has been the most reliable truck. Regular maintenance and minor repairs have kept her running strong. That said, renting a pickup or purchasing a small utility trailer for when you need to haul something sounds like a better option for your family's lifestyle. 2) SUV > Minivan all day. Most minivans use the same transmissions as sedans. With the added weight of the vehicle plus all the people and stuff you inevitability put in it, the trans starts to fail way too soon. There are 2 models that use a specific trans made for vans, Sienna and Odyssey. IF you get one, those are the best options. But I'd go for the Highlander if that's what you like. 4Runner is another great option if you have the funds. Personally, I'm looking at a slightly older Chevy Tahoe because it has the same engine as the Silverado and I know how to work on that 😂 3) I enjoy the longer videos
You can refinance at anytime- you don’t have to wait 6 months. The reason mortgage lenders tell you not to refinance before 6 months is because they will have to pay back the commissions they earned off your loan. If you had a good experience with them- call them up and tell them you’d like to take advantage of the lower rates and want to refinance- so they can earn money back in the refi. Also ask them about a no cost refi option
Few thoughts: 1) if you need a truck to haul stuff back and forth from Home Depot / Lowe's, can you rent their truck since they have rental? - or have them deliver? In my city - Charlotte, it's about $19 or so for about 2 hours and most of the time, I can have them deliver for free or for a nominal fee. and 2) kinda surprised you don't like your Forester, but if you need something bigger and want bench or captain seats, maybe the Subaru Ascent since it offers both configurations (7 or 8 passengers)? The nice thing about the Ascent ... you can easily talk with passengers from front of the vehicle to the 3rd row since microphones and speakers are built in to easily have that conversation throughout the cab. In saying that, other manufacturers probably offer the same technology. And back to your Forester not having memory for each driver, is that due to an older year Forester or due to a lower trim? I have a Subaru Outback, and it sets the seats automatically when a known driver gets in the driver seat. The computer scans the person in the seat, sets the seat (up / down, forward / back, and sets the mirrors (driver and passenger) for the driver. Also putting the vehicle in reverse, the passenger mirror will adjust to give you a better angle backing up and re-adjust when put back in drive. In saying that though, these automated features probably depend on the trim you get.
I love that you are in my local area, so I know what you are talking about with the Monarchs game, NFM and other local things. These videos are my favorite and it makes me laugh every time Kyle does the "Sup". I would say for the 2nd car situation, if you look at trucks, check out the Toyota Tundra. I think you'll find it has great space for car seats. I think the Tacoma would be tight. If you're looking bigger SUV, I have the Subaru Outback, but would definitely have upgraded to the Subaru Ascent if my kids were still younger! That being said, I would have to weigh the cost of a truck vs how much you'll actually use it. There really isn't any such thing as a cheapo truck anymore from what I've seen. If the situation works, I'd keep borrowing the family's truck when you need it and/or rent the one from Home Depot or Uhaul. And now that I know you got a snow blower, we will not be getting any snow this winter! Thanks for that! That's what happened when we first bought one. We only had like an inch of snow the whole winter that year. 🤣
Hey! Welcome back to kc! Go with the Highlander. But don’t do the truck lol. We had the Tacoma for a hot minute, but after we got done with big things we got rid of it. I’d really do a larger suv with towing capabilities. Don’t do a tundra either, it’s been having engine issues unless you got pre 2022. Feel free to reach out again! Would love to catch up!
We have a 2019 highlander it's been great with kids. I'd like to get a newer one but they are hard to find honestly these days. Then I'd just keep an eye out on a deal on FB marketplace or craigslist for a beater / daily driver truck (though trucks, even used, are very expensive)
Goodluck finding a cheap truck 😅 I love my new CRV 2023 touring, has the memory seat feature But no captains chairs and only 5 seats 🤷🏽♀️ Could always try out the Subaru with 2 kids for a while and see what features you really want/ need for it
Do not buy a truck!!! Lol keep using your dad’s or rent one when needed. I vote for getting the highlander and keeping the Subaru as an extra vehicle. Im excited to see what you decide. No mini van yikes!!! They are huge.
Will you still be offering a free version of the templates? I have gotten so use to using these templates every year and it has helped me achieve so many financial goals. Just am curious if there will still be a free option going forward.
Ughhh no we didn't. Life happened. Pregnancy happened. And I just didn't think a Wrangler would be conducive to an infant and a toddler. We agreed when the kids get out of car seats we would get a Wrangler!
@@DebtFreeMillennialsI am just personally allergic to mini vans. LOL. I had one and hated it. I have always been a truck gal and now prefer the SUV’s. Wish I had one instead of the van when I was hauling my kids around. Just my personal preference 😊

Highlander with a small utility trailer for when you need a “truck”.
ahhh a trailer! That could be real useful.
Consider a cheap trailer if you find that you need to haul things frequently. More space than a truck bed if you need it, and you're not stuck with a truck.
I’m set only on going with Honda or Toyota for the rest of my life…never made a car payment, cash in full only! 2-3 year about
LOVE the Toyota Highlander!! So much space for a family, and such a smooth ride!
Yes! I love how spacious the back seat is for kids. And they get their own climate control.
By far, the best thing to get with kids is a minivan. They’re going to do everything you want and give you the space you need. Make sure it has three rows. Captain seats are great.

I noticed you don’t really go over your investments in savings anymore. I would love to see that in the next one if possible.❤❤❤
We can definitely add that back in!
Any Toyota Highlander would be great for your family.
I test drove one today at CarMax. Loved the handling!
Ford edge. Hands down the best for a baby & a toddler. Super spacious and has memory seat, heated seats, etc! Amazing!
I didn't realize the Edge was so luxe!
Honda Odyssey Touring. When you take seats out of back it is as big as a truck bed for moving stuff. Amazing family car for trips!
So I know a lot of people crap on fords but fun fact everyone in the horse world around me has a ford. I’ve had fords my ENTIRE life. As have my parents, grandparents, and uncle.

I'm a mom of three boys I love infinity cars with 3rd row seats if you want to fold the back seat u can put some stuff and keep your old car.
Yay!!!
Get a suv or small truck and either buy a trailer or ( here in Louisiana) you can rent a trailer by the day.
Toyota Sienna for so manyyyyy reasons !

The length of the video is awesome I love these videos
Thank you! I hope Kyle sees this comment!!
Ford Maverick is a good little truck that gets great gas mileage, get the hybrid for only 33k to 37k.
I don't need the use of a truck very, but when I do, I have friends with trucks willing to help me out.
My plans for saving for my future: No kids or mortgage, YIKES!
We will need better soon and we also moved this year but our priority list is way longer 😂🤦♀️

Hahaha my partner would love to go on a truck rant with you 😂
let's rant... 😈
Tacomas do not fit car seats well. We got rid of ours because of that.
Did you get your 100k plaque yet from TH-cam? & I enjoy the longer videos!
Can you consider getting a smaller vehicle and doing the Home Depot truck rentals for the times when you really actually need a truck?
In my area it’s $19 for 75-Minutes or $129 Per Day

You never go out but you have daycare cost? I don’t understand.
You probably don’t have to get a truck just get a car/suv that can pull a trailer
I heard 1% within a year
Wait till the feds lower the rates. Move money out of bonds
Do Not Get A Minivan! I would go with a truck or nice SUV with better gas mileage.
Wait, mini vans don't have good gas mileage??
The Toyota sienna has a hybrid. Chrysler has a plug in electric hybrid. Sliding doors are a game changerrrrrr with kids. 🤣

I drive a Highlander Hybrid with 2 kids. Perfect amount of space for them and all sports gear. I’d go for the Hybrid. Great mileage around town to and from all the things. In my area I fill up once a week for about $35.
