New is sure a good route, right now. Large incentives and low financing. However, in this part of the country, inventory is low. I have two new Subs in inventory now. I'd sure work with you on price and delivery. I am in Ohio. Please feel free to call or email. 800-688-2837 and ask for Tom Thanks !

Rob,

Don't forget about the Trail Blazer EXT. Same size as a Suburban for a lot less bucks. We just leased a full load TB without the EXT package and it is a beautiful truck.

Rob, go with the Yukon,
My buddy picked one up last year with 10K on it for 19K, its way nicer than our Jeep, basically a Durango, like the guys said they have no storage, I wouldnít own it anymore except its paid for and that is a good thing about now with the economy, there has to be some great deals on rigs, I see lots of stuff not selling around here.

See ya , Bud.

I bought a Durango in 1998 (when it first debuted) and I was somewhat pleased despite the "half seat" third row, constant gas station visits and the odd amount noises that occurred the a/c was on. The truck handled an open trailer better then an enclosed trailer because it is shorter suv. I drove the truck close to 115,000 miles and then sold it for $9,900 on e-bay. Then I bought a 2002 GMC Yukon. The truck is a beige on beige (leather) and I have never had a problem with the truck. There is nothing I don't like on the truck. You can get the truck with a bench seat in the middle row or 2 buckets. I got the bucket seats. I have towed my enclosed trailer (Corvette or Chevelle inside) truck holds its ground. Open or enclosed trailer. I highly recommend the Yukon. It even looks good with those new "VETTEHLR" plates Good luck!

I will assure you that Tom works a great deal. Three times he has beat the local competition by a large amount of money and did not pressure me. One of those competitors I had purchaced 5 new cars from and they could not match his price. His dealership (Bud's CHevrolet) also gave me full use of their custom painted Avalanch truck while I was at Chevellabration. Just my .02 worth but tough to beat.

Rob The Expedition is also a good canidate. At least your dad would be happy. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (I think you said he digs some of them blue ovals) Also I would look at a car used in what you are looking for. BIG Savings. For example I have an 03 used Tahoe LS 4X4 that would be about 10-12,000 less than new. Don't be the sucker who looses 5-6G as soon as you pull on the street with a new one. PM me if you are interested in the Tahoe or an Expedition.

Unfortunately, new is not a viable auction. I know GM has some killer deals, but I don't think we could swing it. I'm really leaning Tahoe/Yukon/Sub the more I think about it.

Quick question for the dealers online: if I find a '00+ Tahoe/Yukon that does NOT have a 3rd seat, is it possible to get one (& I guess belts), or do I need to look for one with it already?

Rob...look at an Explorer too....we have one with 3rd seat and DVD....it's awsum and dooesn't look like an after thought in the design area like the EXT does in my opinion.

Jim I can check the gear ratio tomorrow. It is Charcoal grey dark cloth, I think it has a third seat and lift gate.
