So my 2013 hyundai tuscon which I had 250k miles was wrecked by semitruck.

I am trying to decide between New Mazda, Honda CRV or Rav4. Gas or hybrid? I do live out on Texas country roads noy always the smoothest.

I have mixed reviews on CVT transmission of CRV and its motor, I don't know enough about the reliability of Toyota New all hybrid line up, I knew 2 people who had transmission issues with their Mazda Cx5.

All I want is a good gas mileage, cold AC and heated seats. I am in decision fatigue from over researching. My high-end to spend top of 34k.

Only other car brand I kind of looked at was Nissan. I feel like I lucked out with my hyundia because I know other folks around me it was more problematic.

Thank you for any direction.

I live out in country down a bumpy driveway thats pretty muddy when it rains which in NETX is frequently, repairing the road is an ongoing issue we are working on.

Knowing that I have narrowed down newer car need down to RAV4. I have only ever owned Chevy so it's new to me. I wanted the reliability and gas mileage of the hybrid but I guess the TRD PRO or Adventure for off road ?

Can you put a lift kit and skid plates on the hybrid?

I like the 4runner but I commute 45 miles for work so I rather have the better mpg.

New or used?

Which year and trim ?

I would appreciate any bit of knowledge at this point.Because I feel overwhelmed. For context on mud amount this picture is of my practically rebuilt suburban thats going to be put out to pasture as a back up, not daily driver as we are going on 300k miles.
