My point is that the Equinox is a good car for what it is but there is nothing LIKE it that fills the void in between. At least not from GM. They killed the TrailBlazer/Envoy for no good reason at all.
Also, please stop jumping to conclusions. I never said I was "logging" with any vehicle. I said I need to be able to drive on logging roads to get where I need to go. As for plowing, I have a 300' driveway that a small plow on an old 4WD S-10 Blazer was capable of plowing, and that type of vehicle is exactly the kind of thing that the Equinox needs to be more like. Even the Traverse is a bad fit for real world use.
GM needs to stop making toy AWD/4WD vehicles for posers. They need to take a serious look at making something to fill the void.

Posers? 90% of the people out there must be "posers" considering how well the Equinox sells. Are you saying that GM needs somethign like the Durango? Because if your saying that, I totally agree. The Traverse is too mini-van like to do the work that you are talking about.
So yes I agree with you there about the "void". But even the new Ford explorer might not fit the bill either.
But hey yanno what, this is why I dont understand absolute brand loyalty. If another American company is making the type of SUV you need, why not buy it? Such as Durango, sounds to me like Durango would fit your needs and still get good gas mileage. Its real while drive with a true 4WD available. It still offers a v-8 engine and offers best in class towing.
It just seems like people get caught up in brand loyalty way too much in my opinion. For me, if its American and it fits my needs, I buy it.
