whats the price range and qualifications for the vehicle you've been looking for? if it's just for space then yes.

I'm looking at a 2013 nissan xterra right now, because for the price size and off road capabilities it's pretty solid.

In $30k range.  I want something roomie, big and durable.

that will be about as good as anything then, I have a friend that has one and he likes it well enough.

Ever considered a Crew Cab f-150, it can comfortably seat 4 full size adults plus you have the pickup bed.

Yea, I was think truck but I have an office job and I won't use it much...  Figured I'd maximized on cab space.

Have you considered a van?

Personally I prefer the GMC models to the Chevy, but I have an older Z71 Tahoe with over 230k miles on the original transmission and engine.

 

If you are going to tow much look into making sure that it has a transmission cooler....that will save you eventually.

We had an 08 Tahoe a few years ago. We liked it a lot. We got rid of it because, for an every day driver, it wasn't practical in the fuel economy department.

I would own another, though, and we might one day.

I'm actually looking at a 11-14 Yukon now, was leaning toward the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, but may jump back to fullsize.

You ought to look at the Avalanche, too.

I miss my '07 dearly. It went the way of our Tahoe due to gas prices.

But the back seat is plenty roomy, and you've got an actual truck bed if you need to haul anything not requiring a hitch.

One day I'll have another truck, but with two kids and times being as they are, it just isn't practical for me right now. :(

We just bought a 2015 Toyota Tundra, extra...um ...that's what you need right there..it a bad ass truck.

GMC Acadia was really nice, the body on frame SUVs have a lot of appeal but if you're looking for practicality and moving people the crossoverish ones are pretty awesome

I owned a 2005 Tahoe I purchased new, loved it and traded it on a 2009 in 2010, which I still drive. The '05 had 88k on it and I got a great trade on the '09. I'm 6'6" @ 270 and it's the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven. LTZ with every option available that year. It has 128k on it and I'm thinking of selling it in March.

I don't care about gas mileage nearly as much as comfort, but nothing really jumps out at me, so I may stay with it for a few more years. I don't like the new design at all, so a change may be necessary.
