Whether you call it a family hauler, old ironsides, or that damn box on wheels, the family SUV is often a growing family’s best option. It can be used to take the kids to school events and sports, take your lady to dinner, or get you to places with a view of the lake and mountains in the background.
Obviously, you want to have the best possible SUV. Your family deserves an SUV that is safe, reliable, and comfortable. Having plenty of cargo space is a great bonus as well. With all of those things in mind, we have built a list of the top five SUVs that your family needs that you can buy used on BE FORWARD.
Toyota Harrier
The Toyota Harrier is considered a mid-size SUV in most markets. It was introduced for the 1998 model year and is badged as the Lexus RX in some countries. The Toyota Harrier has morphed over the years, slowly growing in size, power, and luxury appointments. The Harrier can comfortably seat five and offers enough cargo space for any challenge your family could possibly throw its way.

Mitsubishi Pajero
The Mitsubishi Pajero is a mid-size SUV that is marketed as the Mitsubishi Montero in some global markets. It was first introduced in Japan in 1982, but prototypes had been debuted as early as 1973. Now in its fourth generation, the Pajero can be powered by a variety of large displacement I4 and V6 engines. It is always equipped with 4WD.

It can easily seat seven passengers and has the cargo room for just about anything you could want to carry in an SUV. BE FORWARD currently has more than two dozen Mitsubishi Pajero units for sale.
Honda Crossroad
The Honda Crossroad is a fairly new stand-alone model. It was first marketed in 2007 and is sold exclusively in Japan. In other markets, Honda has similarly sized units already in place. The Honda Crossroad is large enough to seat seven passengers with ease, but offers fuel-efficient powerplants.

The only gearbox available is a five-speed automatic, but it is more than up to any task at hand. The 2009 Honda Crossroad pictured above is powered by a 2,000 cc petrol I4. It is equipped with a DVD player, a CD player, and a TV system, making it very family-friendly. We have several Honda Crossroads in stock at all times.
Mazda Tribute
The Mazda Tribute was unveiled at the 2000 Los Angeles Auto Show. It was built in collaboration with Ford Motor Company and is the first compact SUV on our list. The Mazda CX-7 replaced the Tribute in February of 2006. Both are reliable SUVs for smaller families and each deserved to mentioned here today.
