Land Rover discovery. Your kids will roll in style.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

Yes because everyone with several kids always goes off-roading with them.

Get a Ford Transit.

and everyone with several kids wants a slow tin can that was designed to haul flowers and tools around

buy a transferable warranty on the ody, if you have the budget/time. Hondas aren't what they used to be. Call it peace of mind or hedging your bets. Will make your life easier if your wife has mechanical issues as the miles climb.

A friend of mine would pull all the seats out of his Honda minivan and haul full sheets of plywood... sounds useful.

Cool story, bro

Another vote for 7.3 Excursion. Also like GM Suburbans/Yukons. We've had a few as crew trucks and personal vehicles and they have been extremely reliable

[GT BMW E30]

2004 GMC Denali body style fully loaded with about 100,000 miles. Use $7,000 and do maintenance. They are great trucks. Bad on gas thou.

I really want to make sure we get into a vehicle that will give us a solid 5 years of service, and offer some resale value after that time as well.

with this as an emphasis, i'm going to repeat my suggestion of subaru tribeca- subarus lead the field in resale value and reliability, and that specific model was surprisingly fun to drive, for an SUV-type. styling on them is... weird, but they're worth a look.
