Best Equipped SUVs Under $25K
July 5, 2018
SUVs are the hottest sellers right now, but they can be expensive
MotorTrend recently put together a list of the best-equipped SUVs for under $25,000. Some of these vehicles have advanced safety and tech features such as adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and heated seats - and some include All-wheel drive.
I like how MotorTrend breaks down pros and cons of each, so be sure to check out their full article. Summary is below.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and Ryde Shopper are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
