My Girlfriend has a xtera w/ v6 its sooooo slow.  It has stupid low torquey gears but low power. I haven't driven the supercharged one. My friend was looking @ ford escape vs xtera and ended up w/ the escape because of the lack of power in the xtera but the escape gets bad gas mileage. Even for a truck the xtera is soooo slow. I like the tacoma and another couple options I would suggest are isuzu trooper. Also honda passport or yota 4runner. Or the previously mentioned escape. If you arent looking for such a "tough"  I would also recommend the hyundai's they have 100k mile warr and the product has gotten a lot better and service is LIGHTNING FAST in the dealer. Another not so tough option would be Honda element? <-- I know styling is odd but honda makes good cars.

How about a Santa Fe or Tucson?  They're well-warranted, probably reasonably
reliable (Hyundai has *really* cleaned their act up in the last ten years),
and affordable.  Not really trail-riding material, but I don't know if you worry
about that.
