Browse the family-ready picks below, then call us at (859) 269-4141 with questions on any of them.
THE LINEUP, FROM BUDGET-FRIENDLY TO FULLY LOADED
1. 2017 Chevrolet Traverse LT w/1LT — $6,777
147,106 miles · Stock #327823 · 3.6L V6 · Front-wheel drive
Why it fits: The most family room per dollar on this page. Three rows of seating, heated front seats, a backup camera, and rear park assist. If the budget is firm and the headcount isn't, this is your answer.

2. 2022 Chrysler Voyager LX — $13,981
133,225 miles · Stock #103009 · 3.6L V6 · Front-wheel drive
Why it fits: It's the minivan on an SUV shopper's list, and families who try it usually get why. Power sliding doors mean no door dings in the school lot and easy loading with your hands full, a power liftgate handles grocery runs, and the 3rd row folds flat for cargo. Heated front seats for the grown-ups up front.

5. 2017 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD — $23,981
114,404 miles · Stock #391799 · 6.2L V8 · Four-wheel drive
Why it fits: The Denali trim is the luxury version of the Tahoe formula — a stronger 6.2L V8, Bose 10-speaker audio, head-up display, and a hands-free liftgate for when your arms are full of kids and bags. Three rows, every comfort, no new-car price.

85,667 miles · Stock #074948 · 3.5L V6 · All-wheel drive
Why it fits: The newest and lowest-mileage pick here. Three rows, leather, all-wheel drive, and Toyota's reputation for running forever — plus towing equipment with trailer sway control for the family boat or camper. The one to buy if you plan to keep it for the next decade of school runs.
