There are a lot of great reasons to consider a used SUV. Right now, availability is one of them: it’s a heck of a time to be trying to buy a new SUV thanks to supply chain issues and chip shortages. Those looking for the best used SUVs may turn to a list like U.S. News’, which ranks the top 77 used SUVs.
