My jeep is too nice to take off road. I'd rather buy like a 98 Grand for a like 1.5k to do that instead of taking a luxury vehicle off road and ruining it.

yea its a hassle to change the oil on even some of the german cars. No one should HAVE to take their car in to get serviced for a friggin' oil change and no should ever have to spend more than about $70(and that's if you're going full synthetic).
about $50(10qts of full-synth + GM oil filter) and some elbow grease is all i need to change the oil on Camaros, Corvette's, Suburbans, etc

Flashing news, your jeep is NOT a "luxury vehicle".

I def want something that combines luxury and off road capability as well as ample room for surfboards and such. It's tough to find the balance I seek.

Porsche, BMW, Audi and Mercedes produce some ok luxury SUV's ... but i personally stay faaar away form german cars.
The Jaguar F-Pace and Maserati Levante are probably the two best luxury SUV's in my opinion, and i think the low trims of the F-Pace start pretty low.

The maintenance on those would be financial nightmares I fear. They're also "too nice" to take off road I reckon. I think I'd be happy with a suped up pickup or Wrangler at this point. I'll look into the Maserati for shits and giggles tho.

It's the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. It's most likely nicer than what you drive. It carries a hefty price as well, so I'd consider it a luxury vehicle.

yea none of those would really fit what you're looking for tbh.
this ones ok, but its a Ford so pretty much no luxury ....

Everything you've ever posted has led me to believe that you exist at barely above 'scum of the earth' level, so yeah, I'm assuming my car is nicer than yours.

Then why not just go with a Suburban or a Tahoe?
They will easily take care of any of those tasks. They also look pretty bad ass plus the LT trims are pretty classy/luxurious too. I still have my 2008 Suburban LTZ and it's a figgin' champ.

Those are legit options I need to look into. A little on the large size but they will get the job done.

just a heads up .... Tahoes(about 205 inches) are basically the smaller version of the Suburban(225 inches). Pretty much the same exact car otherwise. Same interior trims, same drivetrain, both have three rows of seating, etc. I think the Suburban has a bigger gas tank but that's about it.

Fuck, if only that was the case in this country. Even if I cop it on discount the full synth oil I have to put in my Nissan is $85 but it's $120 without any discount. Non-genuine oil filters I can get down to about $17 and the air filter is the same price but the diesel filter is $180 genuine or $140 non genuine. Nissan want $1500 for a major service on my car, which is why the pricks haven't seen it since I rolled it out the door on the day of purchase.

Yep, drove mine out on the day of purchase and told them I wouldn't be back.
On some parts it's cheaper for me to order the bits and ship them from CourtesyParts in the US than it is to buy from these monkeys. Some of the stealerships are getting smarter and putting consumables like filters and shit n ebay at about half the cost of buying them over the counter which shows how much they mark shit up but it's only a few of them, the rest claim $45 for an oil filter and $170 for oil is a fair cost.

how many quarts does your truck take? And how many miles have you put on it since a)buying it and b)the last time you changed the oil?
