My wife and I are selling our van and wanting a 4wd SUV. we are keeping the budget low as it will just be a DD for in town driving. we are trying to stay at $4500 or less so we are looking at early-mid 00's.

what are the pros and cons of each make and which would you lean towards? and advice what to look for or stay away from? we will be buying soon!

my wife likes the looks of the trailblazers the most, but i like the explorers and durangos as they look more rugged.

Personally if I was getting a low budget daily I'd try to find a clean '95 and older... That way when the check engine light pops on I don't have to worry about passing emissions to keep my plate/license.
Tahoe, blazer or even suburbans can be found in decent shape for cheap.

I think we need more info.....Why are you getting rid of the van? What is it and what's wrong with it. Can it be made reliable for under $4500 ?
Why do you need 4x4 for a dd ? If you never leave the road then it's extra stuff to fix and hurts gas mileage.
Are you hauling kids? You can get all kinds of good vans in that price range.
