Porsche as a recommendation for a mom and child to handle MP craters.

I promise you it’s not. It’s such an everyday car and cheaper than most
 
The lexus suv's are in your price range and have low kms which is essential for long ownership.

Porche SUVs are expensive and the one one in your price range are high mileage 10year plus old vehicles. Not suitable for your use.
 
A bit off topic, does anyone have knowledge of the Ford Territory's reliability?

First you have to find out if it uses wetbelt or timing chain.

Any ford with wetbelt will fail, its just so bad. There is a shop in UK that main bussiness is to replace wetbelts, and they say bussiness is booming!

Not to derail this thread but yes the wet belt is just so terrible. There are so many Rangers and Everests now with the 2.0d on the road which are all ticking time bombs basically

Would have to agree with this. Long term ownership, comfort with low risk, its a no brainer to go for the NX.

My 2013 GS has not put a foot wrong ever.. (touches wood*) and it is sitting just under 200k km now - even at this age/mileage it is the most reliable car i've had.

The Ford Territory uses a timing belt, not a chain, to synchronize the crankshaft and camshafts. It's recommended to replace the timing belt at the intervals specified by Ford, typically around 100,000 km or every 10 years, whichever comes first. Neglecting this can lead to engine damage.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Timing Belt:
The Ford Territory utilizes a rubber timing belt to drive the camshafts and other engine components.


Cant confirm but appears to be a dry belt and not a wet belt. No idea if this is still a maintenance issue ?

Is the new Territory really even a Ford?
The Landwind X7’s 2018 facelift also marked the first outing of the new “JX4G” engine family, jointly developed by JMC and the Austrian engineering consulting firm AVL with input from Ford. This engine remains the motive power for the latest Territory, and, while it may carry an EcoBoost badge, the 1.8-litre direct-injected turbo four-pot is a completely different power unit to any of the Ford engines we know.

I see the new car magazine has an Suv shoutout might be worth a buy.
