Thanks everyone for the input. We rented an Acadia in the spring to head out to BC, spent 10 days driving around Alberta/BC/Sask in it, I really liked it. It was a 2017. I've heard that if you like the Acadia, you will like the Edge more.

I drive an Explorer for work so I know they are a good vehicle, especially in crappy conditions. It was explained to me that the Explorer is more of your sport utility vehicle where as the Edge is a station wagon with all wheel drive. I've got a 4x4 truck so if I am taking something out of town in dicey weather, or hauling, I use that.

I've got nothing against any other brands, these are just the vehicle companys that I had heard good things about from friends so they are the ones I narrowed the search down to. They also seem to be very economical choices.
