Rob I go to the auction every week. I have a 2003 Tahoe LS 4X4 (I think it has a third seat) for $28500-$29,500 right around there. I will have to check tomorrow to be sure if you are interested. Miles are around 30K. It is a really nice truck.

Frank:

Thanks for the offer, but it's out of the price range were looking at. I'm trying to stay under $20k, so I'm gonna have to settle for something with some miles (60k or less), preferably dark blue or black, but the third seat is MANDATORY. Leather and 4wd would be gravy.

So, sound possible, or a pipe dream?!

Re: Best vehicle w/3rd seat? Durango? Sub/Yukon?
 

That sounds very possible if you target a 98-99 Suburban. My vote is a '99, but I'm biased since I have one. My first Sub was an '89, the second a '91, and my current is the '99. For all around usage as both a people and stuff hauler, they are great vehicles.

From my experience I would strongly reeccommend either the Suburban or the Tahoe. I've got one of each and they both have their own capabilities.

My Suburban is a 1989 3/4 ton 454 w/T400 - It's used primarily for towing (28 ft. car hauler)and does that very well. It's also got a ton of room for the family and anything else you want to bring with you.

The Tahoe is a 1997 with the 5.7. It's great for family stuff and towing smaller open trailers, boats, car dollys, hauling parts, etc... But, I wouldn't recommend any towing of an enclosed trailer. The 1/2 ton chassis doesn't seem to be cut out for it.

I talked my wife into the Tahoe by boycotting the minivan idea, and she's never been happier. IMO the Suburban is the perfect solution to all the family and towing vehicle issues. If you can't swing the bill one however, the Tahoe is the next best thing.

This thread couldn't have come along at a better time! I'm in the market for a similar vehicle and I'm considering Tahoe/Suburban/Avalanche.
One question- are you guys driving 4x4 or 4x2's?

Re: Best vehicle w/3rd seat? Durango? Sub/Yukon?
 

We're the GM truck poster family.....

I drive a '99 Suburban K2500, 4x4, 454 engine.

We had a minivan for over four years, but last summer I got rid of it and convinced my wife she needed to drive a '99 Yukon K1500, 4x4, 350 engine.

Between those two trucks, if we can't push it, pull it, haul it, drag it, carry it, or tow it, we don't need it!
