Sioux Falls weather swings from 95-degree summer days to -20-degree winter mornings — sometimes within the same month. An SUV gives you the versatility to handle all of it.
Our inventory rotates regularly, but these five are consistent favorites among Sioux Falls buyers.
America's best-selling SUV for good reason: reliable, fuel-efficient, and holds its value exceptionally well. The 2019+ redesign brought improved safety tech and AWD available on all trims. Expect 30+ MPG highway. The smart pick for commuters and small families who want low running costs and Toyota's legendary durability.
★ Best for: Fuel efficiency, reliability, and long-term valueOne of the best values in the compact SUV segment. Comfortable ride, user-friendly infotainment, and a roomy back seat for the price. Turbocharged 1.5L engine delivers solid fuel economy with AWD available on all trims. Used Equinox models are often priced thousands less than comparable RAV4s — a smart choice for budget-conscious families.
★ Best for: Value shoppers who want a well-rounded, affordable SUVWhen the weather turns bad, the Grand Cherokee turns heads. Real off-road and winter capability without giving up a premium interior. Quadra-Trac and Quadra-Drive 4x4 systems are among the most capable in any SUV. The 3.6L V6 handles daily driving; the available 5.7L HEMI V8 adds serious towing power.
★ Best for: Winter confidence, towing, and premium feel with real 4x4The SUV for people who take "go anywhere" literally. Body-on-frame construction, proven 4.0L V6, and available locking rear differential. 4Runners regularly exceed 250,000 miles with proper maintenance. Nothing else in this class comes close for ranch roads and South Dakota's unpaved county roads.
★ Best for: Off-road capability, extreme durability, long-term ownershipThe midsize family SUV benchmark. The 2020+ generation moved to a rear-wheel-drive platform that improved handling, ride quality, and interior space. Three rows of seating standard — strong for larger families. 2.3L EcoBoost delivers respectable fuel economy; the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 in ST and Platinum trims adds serious performance.
