If a domestic nameplate would help, I think the Edge is a very nice vehicle for the money. Also consider it's cousin the Lincoln MKX. Depending on the year, the choices were 3.5L V6, 3.7L V6, or Ecoboost Twin-Turbo V6. Either front or all wheel drive. 6 speed automatic.
The 'all-new' 2011 Ford Explorer shares mechanical components/platform with the Edge/MKX, but it's a little bigger inside, with a third row of seats being the biggest difference. I drove one on a 2500 round trip earlier this year and was VERY impressed.
I'd recommend the big GM crossovers only if you need the size....even bigger than the new Explorer. The GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chev Traverse are pretty nice people (or cargo) haulers.
