With my back issues I may have to put my daily driver on the bench until I get better. I was thinking of maybe renting a car for a few mnths or possibly buying something. I do not want something msall, as I am 6'4(6'3 now with the back :-\) so it needs to be roomy. I was thnking a Tahoe as I already own a few Chevy's and like the set up. I would entertain a car if it was big enough to accoodate me and had a safe feeling to it. Nothing too flashy, just looking for pure comfort. Parker, thanks in advance for your input. ;D

2 years ago I bought a 95 Chevy Caprice for 800 bucks, it drives like a waterbed, love it, steer with one finger, ac and radio work, can't kill it and dirt cheap..Caprice for the win

Buy Mercedes 6X6 ;)

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, without a shadow of a doubt. It's the softest, roomiest, most luxurious ride I've ever been inside of in a vehicle in production that has all the bells and whistles. But the price tag is in the low six figures, so it's absurdly expensive. The lower trims are more affordable and still great, plus the pride of riding in an American vehicle over a European or Japanese one is worth it for me. Over 700HP too, sweet to race.

With back problems you need goods seats, made to be very adjustable and with good ergonomics and a healthy back in mind
Such seats usually are optional
In for instance Germany they have a AGR sign on them, Aktion Gesunde Rucken, there might be similar organisations that promote sound seat designs
-
And forget about 19/20/21/22 inch wheels, beside from being expensive and easy to damage they usually ruin ride comfort

Look to the new Lincoln Navigator. And it’s seats!!! This is what Lincoln should have been all along. The American Land Yacht transformed into an SUV.

I have an Acura MDX that feels like you're driving a couch.

No body in any review mentions the comfort of the seats. This might sound strange but the inexpensive Nissan Altima has nailed the right density of seat cushion. After an hour of driving my Chevy it becomes very uncomfortable. The Nissan I would still feel good to go. I know many fat asses have a built in cushion. I don't. I'm lean. Drove a new Cadillac XT5 recently in California. I was really impressed with the comfort.

That’s why I posted the Navigator vid. The Navigator, Aviator, Continental, Caddy Escalade, XT5, CT6, XTS, all have great seat cushion and comfort.

Yup, same issue I have. Traded in mustang 5.0 for midsize suv recently.
1.)Skip the small or compact suvs/crossovers. Not comfortable.
2.)If you want smooth ride, skip anything truck base. I.e Tahoe, 4Runner, wrangler unlimited
3.)Go mid/full size suv/crossover.
4.) test drive a few.
5.)CarPlay will change your life, but not needed.

That is the same car I bought too lol

How are they easy to damage? Modern cars come with them and have ample space to have a 20 inch wheel and have a full size tire on them.
Do you think they are jamming 20 inch wheels where they don't belong with a rubber band tire like the dindus of 1999?
I facepalm every time a car thread comes up on getbig,maybe 3 people know dick about cars. People watch too many YouTube experts and regurgitate shit now a days

Great choice but i think IG may to settle for something less luxurious...
-

I never thought I could find a seat more comfortable then Acura and have owned a few (suv's and RL). Porsche 18 way is the only one I have found to be more comfy with my bad spine. New RDX has a great seat too.

Looks bad ass, but I'm not trying tp spend 100k on a vehicle that's not a classic muscle car. I'd spend 70k if those seats are as comfortable as they look.

Might look into this.

I own a 750ix bimmer (2015). Honestly, even with 20" rims and RFT it rides incredibly smooth. Comfort seats of course, massage option adds to it also. Not a suv, you sit lower, but again, it is amazingly comfortable to drive, you feel rested after a long trip, rather than tired.
Quite expensive to maintain, but if money is not an issue, I would look into a limo class first.

I agree Cadillac is the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in. OP should look into Cadillac it seat comfort is his priority.

Terrible advice. SRT=line Jeeps are notorious for their harsh sporty ride.
I personally thought that the most comfortable were:
Merc S- class (even base models)
Genisis G80 as a more affordable option.
Lexus SUV's, especially the LX.

Cadillac and GMCs use Magnetic Ride Control, not air suspension. While the former might be a good fit for a Corvette, they suck with big cars and don't come anywhere close to the cushiony ride of air suspension.
I test drove 3 different models of the Cadillac flagship CT6. Great car, but not in the same league as Merc S class and BMW 7-seriers (especially in comfort).

Advising someone with back problems to get a Trackhawk? Horrendous advice, no matter how many times you insult me ;)

I didn't advise anyone to do anything. You need to learn to read. I've driven every kind of Jeep that's in production and that one is without a doubt the most comfortable. You telling me that's terrible advice is like me saying I don't like your brand of cereal. Really, you have no idea how to subjectively rate comfort level because it's not you sitting in the car, genius, it's the OP. There's plenty of American SUVs and cars that are as good if not better than the lower-end Mercedes.

I had a 2016 Cadillac Escalade and it was extremely comfortable for me at 6’2 with a bad back.Also the Ford Explorer is very comfortable and fits big guys well.

I didn't say anything about the origin of the parts. Few cars are entirely assembled and the materials sourced domestically. There's trade agreements and exclusive supplier contracts that handle all that. But FCA's vehicles are, generally, assembled in the United States using American laborers and machinery, one notable exception being their Pacifica line which is built across the river from Detroit in Canada. It's an American automaker through-and-through.

Damn, Motortrend testing came back with a 3.3 0-60 time. Getbiggers might be interested in the 1000 HP Hennessey version

This applies to smaller jeep models, renegade and compass in Europe for exaple, not the grand cherokee I think
JEEP srt models are made for straight line, not for comfort imo

Not the Trackhawk. Its MSRP is almost double the price of the next lower trim in the Grand Cherokee lineup. It's not a typical SRT ride and has advanced suspension, Stabilitrak, and other features that make it super comfortable and sporty at the same time. It's not designed to feel or ride like the other Jeep vehicles. But I'm wasting time trying to explain this since people here love Mercedes and Infiniti. ::)

That right there was bad ass. I had seen the one Kwon3 was talking about at 700hp but not this one. Holy shit, but it is too loud for me. I'd have to put some quieter Flowmasters on it. Wonder what it rides like? The salesman would be wearing you out hourly about buying it if you went to test drive one I'm sure.

The regular track hawk is actually quieter than the Hellcat.

2019 Toyota Avalon or the 2017 BMW X5. I drive long distances on road trips and don't have any issues whereas, the X3 would kill my back after a few hours. But I'm sure there are a lot of options out there.

Like I said, most comfortable American SUV I've been inside of that is also performance-capable. If you purely want comfort with a lazy V8, Parker's suggestion of SUV by GMC works well, too.
You can put muffler suppressors on it and you won't hear anything notable without sacrificing the effect.

Kwon3: The Aids injection is the best way to destroy your health and die in 3-5 years. I personally injected myself with great results, currently lost 40KGS and need 10 more to stop existing. You can't go wrong with an Aids injection straight to the heart.

It would be, he did mention he would consider a sedan. I test drove the Highlander. It was nice but drove like a truck. The X5 handles more like a car. But if someone gave me a Highlander I wouldn't turn it down. Toyota makes a solid vehicle

Highlander’s drive is plushier then a 4Runner. One of the last truck frame suvs out there.
But yeah highlander is like 40k ish, a feature comparable x5 is 62k -ish.
Everything should be better. IMO, the mdx drives better then the x5 and was cheaper.

My wife has a Suburban which I have bene driving and like that. I may get here something and just keep her care and my truck for when I need it. OR I was thinking about a GMC version, but it's an additional $3,500 just for the name (at least it was when I bought my truck). I may go test drive some vehicles once I heal a bit. Wife drove a highlander and at 6'4 there's no way I can fit in that comfortable. Shit, the suburban ceiling sometimes seems too low if I have the chair set a certain way. Land Rovers are nice, but they're over $100k so I have never test drove one. My buddy has one but I have only ridden in it. Not sure how I feel about a really expensive ride like that, as I would be pissed the first time someone dinged it at the grocery store.
