STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: ONE OF THE HARDEST PARTS NARROWING IT DOWN TO JUST MOST BUYERS DON'T HAVE DRIVING COMPARISON, BUT WE DO.

AND THIS WEEK WE DO THAT WITH AND ONCE AGAIN TEAM UP WITH TO SEE WHICH ONE STANDS ABOVE THREE ROW CROSSOVER-STYLE SUVs THE AMERICAN CULTURE, BEING MORE THE FULL-SIZE STATION WAGON FAMILIES DEPEND ON THEM TO HAUL AND MANUFACTURERS RELY ON WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, WE JOINED OUR COLLEAGUES AT WHERE FOUR OF THESE HEFTY OUR CHALLENGE.

WE ALSO HAD THE HELP OF WHO'S LOOKING FOR THE BEST AS IN OUR PREVIOUS CHALLENGES, ALL ARE V6 POWERED WITH ALL BUT ONE INCLUDES ALL-WHEEL AND HAVE A COMBINED FUEL ECONOMY WHILE, THERE ARE QUITE MOST HAVE REMAINED MUCH THE SAME SO THIS CHALLENGE TARGETED AND UPDATES.

LAST YEAR'S WINNER, AN ALL-NEW ENTRANT, THE FULLY REDESIGNED AND THE UPDATED, EACH ONE WENT THROUGH AND AT THE END THIS IS THE FOURTH SPOT WENT TO THIS ALL-WHEEL DRIVER A NEW 3.5 LITER V6 ENGINE THE $44,514 STICKER PUT IT BUT IT HAD THE SHORTEST WHEEL SO IT LOST POINTS FOR SPACE IN Fred Meier: THE HIGHLANDER WAS BUT IT HAD SOME OF THE MOST THEY WERE PLENTY WIDE, NICELY BOLSTERED.

Garick Zikan: YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HOW COMFORTABLE IT IS, BUT ALSO, IT REALLY IS A QUIET AND THAT SHELF ALONG THE DASH John: WHILE, ON TOP LAST TIME AROUND, FINISH HERE.

THE PILOT IS WELL DESIGNED, ITS PRICE IS JUST UNDER IT ALSO SHARES THE HIGHLANDER'S FROM ITS 3.5 LITER V6 Brian Wong: THE PILOT'S 9-SPEED ITS TWO TRANSMISSIONS HAS ALWAYS THERE'S A NOTICEABLE DELAY SO YOU HIT THE GAS AND YOU HAVE THE ENGINE TO CATCH UP WITH YOU.

Mike Hanley: HONDA'S TOUCH WAS THE HARDEST TO USE WITH BECAUSE IT LACKS FAMILIAR AND TUNING KNOBS, AND ITS MENU STRUCTURE IS John: SECOND PLACE GOES TO THE ONLY FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE UTE BUT IT HAS THE MOST HORSEPOWER MATED WITH A SMOOTH 9-SPEED THE TRAVERSE IS RATED AT AT $44,185 IT COMES IN LESS THAN THE PILOT...

WHILE, PROVIDING THE LONGEST AMONG THIS GROUP.

Brian: IT USES THAT SPACE IT HAS THE MOST CARGO ROOM, A VERY SPACIOUS SECOND, Garick: THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND THEIR POSSESSIONS IN BUT IT REALLY BRINGS MORE JUST THAT.

ON THE ROAD IT'S EASY TO OF CONFIDENCE.

James Gorman: I WAS IMPRESSED OF THE INTERIOR, AGAIN, NOT WHAT I WOULD BUT A DECENT VEHICLE AND SEE MYSELF DRIVING FROM DAY John: THAT LEAVES FIRST PLACE THE 2018 VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS THE 3.6 LITER V6 AND 8-SPEED HORSEPOWER AND LOWEST COMBINED BUT, WITH A STICKER AT $43,615, AND WITH MEASUREMENTS THAT THE ATLAS EARNS POINTS FOR REAR AS WELL AS TECHNOLOGY.

Mike Hanley: THE ATLAS'S IT'S GOT VIBRANT COLORS BUT IT'S EASY TO INADVERTENTLY THE TOUCH SENSITIVE PANEL.

James: THE MULTIMEDIA THE OTHER REALLY NOTEWORTHY THE SPACIOUSNESS.

I WAS ABLE TO SIT IN THE SECOND A COMFORTABLE SEATING POSITION CLIMB BEHIND THAT SEAT INTO AND ALSO SIT COMFORTABLY.

John: ALL OF THE BIG UTILITIES BUT IT'S NO LONGER JUST ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND REFINEMENT AND FOR NOW, CAN SHOULDER THE DEMANDS * RECENTLY, OUR ZACK MASKELL A FAMILY TRAVELING THE COUNTRY CALL IT A TINY HOUSE, THAT'S ON TOP OF A BUS, MAKE THAT A HOUSE, SO LET'S GO OVER THE EDGE AND ENJOY THE SIMPLE LIFE, Zach Maskell: IF A CHEVROLET WOULD IT GROW UP IT'S A 1953 CHEVY SCHOOL BUS, WITH A 1969 VW BUS ON WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE HEAD ROOM, "CREATIVE TALENT IS ONLY IS COUPLED WITH HARD WORK" MY FAVORITE ARTISTS I HAPPEN TO BE WEARING HIS SHIRT I THINK, THAT THIS FAMILY IS LIVING UP TO Jeannette Applauso: THE KIDS GO LOOK AT THIS BIG BUS, Leroy Herr: IT'S HERE FOR YOU TO IT'S ACTUALLY HERE FOR YOU.

Zach Maskell: BY A TRUCKER IN NEBRASKA.

HE SAYS, "IT DRAGS UP HILLS, ARTIST, HEATHER PLATON WHO'S A MECHANIC BY TRADE, TRAVEL WITH THEIR TWO KIDS THEY USE IT TO SPREAD RESPECT, Heather Platen: IT'S A TINY HOME AND MOBILE WE INVITE PEOPLE INSIDE TO TO TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABLE ON THE ROAD, HOW IT IS WE TRY TO BRING PEOPLE LIGHTEN THE MOOD AND THE COUNTRY Zach: STAYING OFF BUILDING AND LIVING IN THEY STAY AT NATIONAL PARKS Leroy Herr / Heather Platen: MAKING SOMEBODY ELSE'S MONEY A LOT OF SENSE TO ME.

Zach: THE COUPLE STRESSES ACROSS THE U.S. THAT A 30 YEAR HOME MORTGAGE FOR THEM, SPENDING MORE TIME AND BEING FORCED TO GO OUTSIDE Leroy: A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO ME, I'VE PUT MYSELF IN, IS A LOT.

Zach: THEY DON'T JUST BUY IF IT CAN BE FIXED, THEY FIX IT.

Leroy: SO THIS IS A 40 GALLON AND THEN, I USE THIS PUMP HERE TO PUMP PRESSURE UP IN THE TANK Zach: USING SOLAR PANELS TO AND LIGHTS, ALONG WITH RESOURCES THEY REMAIN MOSTLY Leroy: THIS IS WHERE THE WOOD FIRE COOK STOVE, Zach: SO IT WAS ONLY NATURAL VENTURED TO OUR LOCAL CARS TO SEE AND FEEL THE VIBES HUNT VALLEY HORSEPOWER.

Eric Lee: I THINK, IT'S COOL.

IT REMINDS ME OF WOODSTOCK.

Tara Whitlow: JUST YOU LOOKING LIKE, WHAT'S IN THERE, YOU'RE KIND OF OPENING YOUR Zach: ACTIVATING THE HIGHER YOUR IMAGINATION AND EMOTIONS, SO, ART COULD BE THE ACCELERANT.

TO GET THE WHEELS TURNING THEY ALLOW ANYONE, ANYWHERE ON THE BUS.

WHY?

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONFINE Heather: JANIS JOPLIN, HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "PLEASE PUT JANIS JOPLIN SO I STARTED ON HER RIGHT AWAY.

AND THEN, BRUCE LEE, I COULD NOT GO TO ONE TOWN ANGRILY, THAT I PUT JERRY ON Heather: THIS IS THE FIRST PIECE THIS WAS DONE BY SOMEBODY Zach: SHOULD YOU MEET GET MORE ARTISTIC THAN ME, HOW MANY STATES OR PEOPLE AND POSITIVELY IMPACT.

John: WHILE, PAT GOSS ISN'T THIS WEEK HE SHOWS US DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, Pat Goss: SO YOU'VE DECIDED YOU OR CLASSIC CAR AND YOU WANT NUMBER ONE, I WOULD I'D RECOMMEND YOU HAVE BUT IF YOU INSIST, HERE ARE SOME FIRST, YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND THAT'S JUST BUT YOU WANT TO GO UNDER AND THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE WHAT IS ORIGINAL YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS POSSIBLE.

AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON THE VALUE YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR THE VEHICLE AND SO ON.

ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE A BIG BUT, HERE'S THE THING THAT AND THAT IS THAT YOU DON'T PUT NOW, YOU'RE CERTAINLY WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

WE HAVE A GIANT PUDDLE WELL, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT WELL IN THIS CASE, A BAD TRANSMISSION FLUID SO IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR'S REPAIR, YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE FRAME LIKE THAT TO SEE IF THERE'S SURFACE RUST IS NOT A PROBLEM, THAT CAN COST A FORTUNE TO FIX.

THE OTHER THING THAT YOU'RE THE CAR UP IN THE AIR.

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE AND YOU'RE GOING TO ILLUMINATE WE'RE GOING TO GO ALONG AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS, THE SIDE OF THE CAR YOU'RE GOING THE LIGHT TOWARDS YOU AND YOU'RE AND THE OTHER REASON THAT YOU IS THAT BODY WORK THE CAR ON THE GROUND, DOWN AT IT.

NOW, YOU CHANGE THE PERSPECTIVE, AND YOU CAN SEE MOST OF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT YOU CAN ALSO USUALLY TELL DOWN BODY WORK BECAUSE THE FINISH LOOK AT THE BOTTOMS OF DOORS BODY WORK ON THE DOORS, IN ALL OF THESE AREAS.

DO IT RIGHT SPEND SOME TIME UP WITH A GREAT CAR.
