I've been debating this for a while, especially since I had my car up for sale a couple months ago. I do landscaping and I need something to pull my trailer by this spring when my dad's envoy lease is up. I figure I can do one of two things, but I am not sure what to do.

Keep the LT1 Trans Am I have and build it up a little bit, and buy either a 05 ford explorer or jeep grand Cherokee which I figure I could get at about 11-12k with under 45k miles.

OR

put the money out for a low mileage Trailblazer SS awd and give up on a TA altogether.

My first idea seems a little more appealing to me but I could see it getting hard to keep up with insurance for two cars and all that. At the same time I wouldn't want a car as nice as the TBSS to get all dirty and messed up from working, the envoy I have now is terribly dirty now after just one summer. I'm not in a rush to buy anything now but its on my mind and I want to know what you guys think.
