Used SUVs for Sale in Michigan

Room for the family, grip for the snow, and a price that makes sense.

Father & Son Auto Sales is a family-owned used car dealership in Dearborn, and SUVs make up a big part of what we sell. Our lot carries a rotating mix of compact, midsize, full-size, and luxury SUVs from brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, Honda, and Lincoln, each one hand-selected by our team.

It’s no surprise SUVs are the default choice for so many Michigan drivers. Available all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive keep you moving through lake-effect snow and icy mornings, the cargo area swallows strollers, sports gear, and Costco runs, and a third row turns school pickup into a one-trip job. Browse our current SUV inventory below, and reach out when you find one you want to see in person.

Used SUVs by Size and Category

The right SUV depends on how many people you carry, what you haul, and where you park. Here’s how the main categories compare.

Compact SUVs (e.g., Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4)

Compact SUVs give you a raised seating position, available all-wheel drive, and a flexible cargo area in a size that’s easy to park downtown and fits any garage. They’re the most fuel-efficient SUVs on the lot, which makes them a favorite with commuters and small families. Models like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, and Chevrolet Equinox are all strong choices.

Midsize SUVs (e.g., Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chevy Traverse)

Midsize SUVs step up in passenger room, cargo space, and towing capacity while staying manageable for daily driving. Many offer a third row, and V6 engines in models like the Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Chevy Traverse handle a small boat or camper with ease. They hit a sweet spot for growing families who want more space without moving to a full-size SUV.

Full-Size SUVs (e.g., Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon)

Full-size SUVs are built on truck frames, with seating for up to eight or nine, real third-row legroom, and the strongest towing ratings in the SUV world. The Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition, and GMC Yukon are the go-to picks for big families, boat owners, and anyone who regularly fills every seat.

Luxury SUVs (e.g., Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Acura MDX)

Luxury SUVs add premium materials, quieter cabins, and advanced technology on top of everyday SUV practicality. Buying used is one of the smartest ways into this class, since models like the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, and Acura MDX lose a large share of their value in the first few years.

Third-Row and Family SUVs

If you regularly drive more than four passengers, a three-row SUV keeps everyone comfortable and leaves room for backpacks and groceries. Look for second-row captain’s chairs if you want easy access to the third row, or a bench if you need that extra seat. Popular picks include the Chevy Traverse, Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and GMC Acadia.

Popular Used SUV Brands at Father & Son Auto Sales

We stock SUVs from a long list of makes, and these are some of the most popular with Michigan drivers.

Ford, Chevrolet, and GMC

Detroit’s own brands are a natural fit for Michigan roads. Ford covers every size with the Escape, Explorer, and Expedition. Chevrolet offers the Equinox, Traverse, and Tahoe, and GMC brings a more upscale feel with the Terrain, Acadia, and Yukon. Parts and service for these SUVs are easy to find anywhere in the state.

Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler

Jeep is the name to know for off-road capability and winter traction, led by the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee. Dodge’s Durango combines three rows with serious towing power. Chrysler’s family lineup centers on the Pacifica minivan, which is worth a look if you’re comparing third-row SUVs against a sliding-door option.

Toyota, Honda, and Nissan

These brands have built their reputations on reliability and low ownership costs. The Toyota RAV4 and Highlander, the Honda CR-V and Pilot, and the Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder are some of the most dependable used SUVs you can buy.

Lincoln and Cadillac

For buyers who want comfort and luxury in a used SUV, Lincoln and Cadillac deliver at a fraction of their new-car prices. Popular picks include the Lincoln Navigator, the Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus, and the Cadillac XT5 and Escalade.

Why Michigan Drivers Choose Used SUVs

AWD and 4x4 for Snow and Ice

Michigan winters are long, and a light dusting can turn into a slick commute by afternoon. All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive send power to the wheels with the most grip, so you pull away cleanly from icy intersections and climb snowy driveways without spinning. Most SUVs also sit higher off the ground than sedans, which helps on unplowed side streets and through slush piled at the curb.

Towing and Hauling Capability

Many SUVs are built to tow, and plenty of Michigan families rely on them to pull a fishing boat to the lake, a pop-up camper up north, or a utility trailer full of yard waste. Midsize SUVs with V6 engines handle lighter loads, while full-size, body-on-frame SUVs are rated for much heavier ones.

Best Used SUVs for Towing Boats and Campers

These models offer some of the highest towing ratings you’ll find in a used SUV when properly equipped. Exact capacity depends on the model year, engine, drivetrain, and whether the vehicle has a factory tow package.

Ford Expedition: Up to about 9,300 pounds, enough for most travel trailers and larger boats.
Lincoln Navigator: Up to 8,700 pounds with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
Dodge Durango: Up to 8,700 pounds with the available V8 and tow package.
Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon: Up to about 8,400 pounds, depending on engine and drivetrain.
Jeep Grand Cherokee: Up to 7,200 pounds with the available V8.
Ford Explorer: Up to about 5,600 pounds, a strong rating for a midsize SUV.

Space for Families, Gear, and Road Trips

An SUV’s cargo area and fold-flat seats make weekend trips to Traverse City, hockey tournaments, and move-in day at Michigan State far easier than in a sedan. Three-row models carry seven or eight passengers, and even compact SUVs fit a full-size stroller or a week’s worth of luggage.

Better Value Than Buying New

New SUVs lose a significant part of their value in the first few years. Buying a lightly used SUV lets the first owner absorb that drop while you get the same space, capability, and features for thousands less. A lower price can also mean a smaller loan, a lower monthly payment, and often lower insurance costs.

How to Choose the Right Used SUV

Gas vs. Hybrid SUVs

Gas SUVs cost less up front, come in more sizes and configurations, and generally tow more. Hybrid SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid, and Toyota Highlander Hybrid deliver noticeably better fuel economy, especially in stop-and-go city driving. Hybrid mileage dips somewhat in deep cold, but for a high-mileage commuter the fuel savings can still add up quickly.

AWD vs. 4WD vs. FWD: What's the Difference?

Front-wheel drive (FWD)

Power goes to the front wheels only. It’s lighter, more efficient, and handles light snow well with good winter tires.

All-wheel drive (AWD)

The system sends power to all four wheels automatically when it detects slip. It’s ideal for icy roads and snowy commutes, and it’s common on compact and midsize SUVs.

Four-wheel drive (4WD or 4x4)

A heavier-duty system, often with a low-range setting, found on truck-based and off-road SUVs. It’s the best choice for deep snow, unplowed roads, launching a boat, and off-road trails.

Mileage, Age, and Vehicle History Reports

A well-maintained SUV with higher miles can be a better buy than a neglected one with fewer. Look at the full picture: model year, mileage, the number of previous owners, accident history, title status, and how consistently it was serviced. Ask for the vehicle history report on any SUV you’re considering, and for Michigan vehicles, pay attention to the condition of the undercarriage after years of road salt.

What Affects a Used SUV's Value

Two SUVs of the same make and model can be priced thousands of dollars apart. These are the details that move the number most:

Mileage and age

Lower mileage and newer model years carry a premium.

Trim and equipment

Higher trims, leather, sunroofs, navigation, and driver-assist features add value.

Drivetrain

AWD and 4×4 models are in higher demand in Michigan and usually cost more than FWD or RWD versions.

Engine and towing equipment

V6 and V8 engines and factory tow packages raise the price of midsize and full-size SUVs.

Condition and history

A clean history, documented maintenance, and a solid undercarriage after years of road salt all add value.

Remaining factory warranty

Late-model SUVs still inside the original powertrain coverage are worth more.

Market demand

Popular models like the RAV4, CR-V, and Tahoe hold their value especially well.

How We Price Our Pre-Owned SUVs

We hand-select every vehicle we sell through dealer auctions and private parties, and we price our SUVs competitively for the Metro Detroit market. Each price reflects that specific vehicle’s year, trim, mileage, condition, and equipment. There are no hidden dealership fees, and we’ll give you a written breakdown showing the vehicle price along with taxes, title, and registration, so you know the full amount before you sign anything.

Quality You Can Trust

Our Vehicle Selection and Inspection Process

Every SUV on our lot is hand-picked from dealer auctions and private sellers, and we pass on vehicles that don’t meet our standards. Before you buy, our team will walk you through everything we know about the specific SUV you’re considering, including its history, condition, and equipment, so you can make your decision with confidence.

Vehicle History Reports

A vehicle history report shows past owners, reported accidents, title status, and service records, and it’s one of the best tools you have when buying used. Ask us about the CARFAX or AutoCheck report for any SUV that catches your eye, and we’ll go over the details with you.

Warranty and Protection Options

Warranty coverage depends on the specific vehicle. Some late-model SUVs still carry part of their original factory warranty, and our team will tell you exactly what applies. Ask whether the SUV you’re considering is sold as-is, has remaining manufacturer coverage, or is eligible for an optional service contract, and we’ll explain your options before you buy.

We also work with first-time buyers and self-employed applicants.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Used SUV

What is the most reliable used SUV?

Toyota and Honda SUVs, including the RAV4, Highlander, CR-V, and Pilot, consistently rank near the top of owner-reported reliability surveys. That said, the most reliable used SUV for you is one with a documented maintenance history and a clean bill of health, regardless of the badge. Ask our team about the history and condition of any SUV you’re considering.

How many miles is too many for a used SUV?

There’s no single cutoff. Many modern SUVs run well past 150,000 miles with regular maintenance, and truck-based models like the Tahoe and Expedition often go even further. A useful benchmark is about 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year of age. Service records and overall condition matter more than the number on the odometer.

Which used SUVs are best in the snow?

AWD and 4×4 SUVs with good ground clearance perform best in Michigan snow. Strong choices include the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe, and Ford Expedition. Whatever you drive, a set of dedicated winter tires makes the single biggest difference in snow and ice.

Is a used SUV cheaper to insure than a truck?

Often, yes, especially for compact and midsize SUVs compared with full-size pickups. Insurance rates depend more on the specific vehicle’s value, safety ratings, and repair costs, along with your driving record, ZIP code, and coverage choices, than on body style alone. Large and luxury SUVs can cost as much to insure as a pickup, so get quotes on the exact vehicles you’re comparing before you buy.

Can I buy a used SUV with bad credit?

Yes. Father & Son Auto Sales works with customers across a wide range of credit situations, including bad credit, no credit, bankruptcy, and repossession history. Financing is subject to lender approval, and rates, terms, down-payment requirements, and vehicle eligibility depend on your individual application. You can start with our secure online application to see your options.
