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

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.
