Looking for a hatchback car that’s not an SUV. We have a rav4 and looking to replace my ‘10 corolla. We have 2 large dogs.
depending on the size of the dogs: Subaru Crosstrek or Outback. I ended up with a Forrester because the cubic size of the back (though slightly smaller than an Outback) was the right height for my 55lb Aussie.

In an age of things designed to be replaced, what currently-produced 1) trucks, and 2) cars come closest to BIFL?
Realistically, we're in a period where technology being added, and replaced with new and "better" versions are coming at a very high rate. Even Toyota, often praised for long life is having issues with there new lineup. Cars just have a lot more "Stuff" on them now, safety, accessibility, creature comfort, "brains." And even if all of that is well made (which can be a big if in itself) there is just a lot more of it. A 95 Tacoma has a lot less things that \*could\* break than a 25 Tacoma does, and there are more of those "things" on the 25 that are critical to the vehicle. My general rule of thumb (and I've been a car dealer for 30 years) for a newer personal vehicle (often my wifes) that we intend to keep long term (10'ish years generally) is to buy something that isn't on it's first year revision... something relatively simple (not a tesla or a truck with a 20" ipad in the dash) something that shares a decent number of parts with other vehicles (so that in 4 years you aren't going to be looking for part that has been discontinued and was only produced for 6 months for this one specific model) and maybe most importantly for me... something with a following. So Wranglers, Tacomas, etc... a vehicle with a fanbase of Youtube Mechanics, so that when something does (and it will) fail it's likely somebody has already had to deal with it and has posted the hurdles and tricks they found to fix it. At auto dealer auction the vehicle I see most commonly with over 300k miles is a prius. Ymmv

Large SUV BIFL Request
Did you buy the Lincoln new? If so, and if it's in the budget, look at the bigger Lexuses like the TX and LX700. The Toyota Sienna is also amazingly roomy/comfortable/efficient if you can do a van.
