Coming tomorrow: Your pick for Drive On 2011 Car of the Year
It's a tough call for us too. Three fine crossovers with different strengths and personalities that you could live with every day. Buying one likely would come down our occasional needs --ever go off the pavement? ever tow and how much? ever need a third row? etc.
Explorer was by far your biggest vote-getter, with 38% of the 3,600 votes. But Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee (25%) and Dodge Durango (14%) together tallied 39%. It was like the Oscars when two nominees from the same movie split the votes and a third gets Best Actress.
And 23% of you dissed all three -- and the auto writers who made them the finalists for the North American Truck of the Year award in two weeks -- for "other" trucks.
Our favorite "other": Any truck that's paid for. Wrote justanotherwb: "My vote goes to my '99 F-150 paid off nearly ten years ago and still running strong!!" From newday11: "I'll keep fixing my Explorer. And from DevilCat: "I'm with you, Newday. Will keep patching my Dodge Ram.. 241,000 miles and counting."
