Here is the scenario.
I have a 2020 fpace as my utility vehicle cause I tend to value handling over all else. I carry 2 kayaks on the roof and bikes on trailer hitch. I’m 42 and lifting the kayaks over my head is going to be the death of me. The height plus roof rack plus the jhook is rough. I am looking to replace it with something that is still fun to drive, get’s decent MPG but is easier to load the kayaks on. My budget is up to $40,000
Quick Facts:
Budget: $40,000
Location: Kissimmee, FL
Daily Driver: Yes
Wants: Good handling, easy loading for kayaks, decent MPG
Doesn’t want: Something too tall or too thirsty
