good luck-

I sure wouldn't attempt it in either of my Escapes- computer system is too sensitive as it is

Basic specs for what we'll be looking for:

Must be able to tow 2,000 lbs as we want something that can haul our ATVs. This will also be her daily driver as she does a 40-mile round-trip commute 5 days a week plus additional driving for her 2nd job.

An out-the-door price of less than $30,000 would be great.

We are looking towards some rug rats in our future, so space is a consideration as well.

Any ideas?

Look at the Mazda CX-5. Mine was 22800 out the door. Fits your bill exactly.

Her average while fighting traffic for the daily commute are on the upper half of 24 mpg. I took a short road trip with it a few weeks ago. I got 33 even on the way up, around a 2 hour drive, and had averaged 32.4 when I backed it into the driveway. For the capabilities and interior room, I don't think we could have asked for a better vehicle. Since the 13s have had recall after recall, I'm happier than ever that we went with the 12.
