I guess I never saw the need for a rack...

Hey Steven, were can I find one of those fiberglass Giants? I use the aluminum Giant, kinda heavy.

Joe, you need to select Home Inspections that don't need Ladders.

Plus the client will say," Wow, I must have chosen a good Inspector, he seems to be doing fairly well. "

I drive a 2002 Chev Avalanche 4x4
125,000 Miles
Gets me through the long Alberta winters just fine.
Everything including ladders fit nicely in the back and are locked safely away and out of sight. On some weekends one Quad fits in the back and one on a small trailor....Yeehaw!

If i drive too far, i take my wife's 2007 saturn vue 4-cyl; i drive it sometimes in the winter; love the twin heated leather seats.

I would look at the ford escape 4-cyl; rides nice; drove one the other day.

I'm with you Gary. I like my Ford Explorer Sport, full 4x4, 4 litre, DECENT MILEAGE, TIGHT RIDE, NOT MUCH WILL STOP IT

I'm with the guys who are saving money. I use a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with 130,000 miles. I never buy a new vehicle for business, always pay cash and drive it till it falls apart or I total it. Put a reconditioned motor in the Intrepid after blowing the original at 110,000 which gave me a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty on the recon motor. You can't buy another vehicle with a warranty for that price.

For me it depends: I use magnetic signs so to can take a mode of transportation that suits my needs if its a condo, I can take a Kia, for a houses I have a 2500 Suburban which is nice for rainy days, Otherwise 2500 Chevy P/U.

I love my Ford Explorer, but will probably have to change next fall. This is my first year in Colorado, and my 2 wheel drive Explorer was a little difficult to rely on in the snow. Wish it wasn't so expensive to have it changed to 4 wheel drive, I would do that instead.

I know some of you have already seen this. I haven't been on for a while.

This is what I drive.

That does look a lot better than this one. And hope it works better.
