It’s officially football season again! This annual game-watching tradition includes barbecuing, drinking, and cheering on the team with fellow fans (Go Bolts!). An almost more important component to these time-honored festivities is the question of, “Which car are we taking?” To help narrow down your options, here is a list of the 10 best vehicles for tailgating this season.
Top 10 Best Cars for Tailgating
GMC Yukon Denali: The Yukon Denali is more than just a pretty face. This luxurious design is also equipped with a Bose Surround Sound System, a power rear lift gate, and can accommodate up to eight people. With this vehicle, just pack everyone in and go!

Honda Ridgeline: Looks are deceiving when it comes to the Honda Ridgeline. Included under the truck bed is an 8.5 cubic foot trunk that can be use for storage or as a cooler. No need to worry about ice cleanup – the built in drain plug empties it for you. Also, the dual-action tailgate can fold down for extra seating or swing open for easier access.

With the Dodge Ram, tuck your storage worries away. Included in the RamBox Cargo Management System is waterproof and drainable storage in both sides of the truck bed. Also, storage can be found in-floor, in the two-tier center console, and under-seat. With so much space to use, your grocery list can grow!

Nissan Xterra:
This may not be the biggest car on the list, but an easy-clean cargo area makes up for it. Not only does this easy-clean, hard coating cover the back area, there is also an under-floor storage space. With seating for up to 5 people, plus storage, this car is a great choice!

Toyota 4Runner:
>With a sliding cargo deck that can hold up to 440 pounds of food and beverages and a built-in folding table, what’s not to love? Also included is an equalizer to focus sound on the lift gate speakers. The Toyota 4Runner has great tailgating potential!

Volkswagen Routan:
Not only does the Volkswagen Routan seat seven comfortably, the third-row seat can flip around for rearward seating. This sets the ultimate environment for tailgating. The second-row seats can fold down, or be used for upright for under-seat storage. There are also power outlets throughout the vehicle and a great sound system. Another van great for groups and especially tailgating!
