I'm looking for opinions on which one of the midsize SUV are the most dependable? I'm looking at buying used with 100-125k miles and run it till the wheels fall off for work travels. Which would yall suggest that would have the least maintenance.
I'm putting 1500 work miles per moth in my new truck and tired of taking the depreciation on the chin.

I have a 2011 Explorer AWD (selectable based on road conditions) - daily driver. I bought it used with about 36,000 miles and have put about 50,000 miles on it.
I have had zero issues with the vehicle - I run the recommended Ford Full-Synthetic oil and change the oil about every 7,500 miles.

If you don't mind the covered wagon ride, 4Runner. My family has probably put 500k trouble free miles on 4Runners. I have had fairly good luck with the old S10 Blazers with the 4.3 vortec. Engines run forever but the interior falls apart after awhile, unlike the 4Runners.

You can also get a ton of miles out of the jeep cherokee 4.0 inline 6 cyl. You will replace the occasional window regulator and AC parts but they will run forever.

4.0 Jeep Cherokee would be my vote also. Explorer with the 4.0 would be my second pick You can also get a ton of miles out of the jeep cherokee 4.0 inline 6 cyl. You will replace the occasional window regulator and AC parts but they will run forever.

Chevy Blazer with the 4.3 vortec was a solid ride for me all they way through high school and college.
It gets my vote

We liked our Hyundai Santa Fe so much that when we bought a new one, we also kept the old one! Comfortable, dependable, economical...we love both of them.
