About Jammie Morey
Seems like even for our family of 4 we need a vehicle large enough for the sports equipment along with groceries and sometimes friends and family. Gas prices are low right now but I don’t anticipate them staying this way. The trade off is having a vehicle large enough for the extra stuff to limit the amount of trips. Living in the Northeast its important to have a vehicle that will fair well in the snow. The Highlander sounds like a great fit!
