Large SUV Owners

[saint]

With a 3rd bambino not too far off in the distant future, the saint family needs a bigger ride. It's amazing how much crap kids need for a weekend at the beach. We're considering the following-

Yukon Denali XL
Suburban LTZ
Escalade ESV

Right now the preference is that order. The Escalade is just a bit too ghettofied to me. My only hangup is that my family only ever owned Toyota/Lexus/Acura and so the cars were well made. Anyone have big issues with GMC/Chevy?
Anyone own any of the above and happy/unhappy?

You will have less problems with a Cadillac than you ever had with any other vehicle.

Just go drive it.

That's all I have to say.

That's what I told my wife. She's almost refusing to let me drive the caddy because she knows I'll want that one.

The denali xl will end up being close to that. But I tend to keep cars 8+ years.


I have driven 2 cars in my 16 years of driving. I think I'll start another thread, would make an interesting topic.

Yukon Denali XL Love it.
Suburban LTZ Hate it.
Escalade ESV Love it.

Just tell her to get over thinking she is too young or too cool for a minivan and get that. So much easier with a bunch of kids.

Toyota Sequoia? Those things are huge as well...

 

[hedgehog]

Bigger the better :0074

I was going to buy a navigator but decided on the expedition and it's ok, gas mileage is not great but Oh well, best of luck saint

Why not go with a Lexus if that's what you're use to? The GX is a good car with a nice size. Is this for you or your wife? To me the GX is a little on the girlie side of things. If you can do it I would go with the Cadi. IMO it's a cool car and in no way ghetto. Of course it seems every other car in Plano is a Escalade. I think it went from being ghetto to every soccer mom and dad in the world needing 22s because 20s don't look good enough.(forget about the ride I guess)

 

[layinwood]

I forgot to mention it but if you can get the Audi with a 3rd row then it's not even close to me. I believe the q7 has one.

My Range Rover doesn't have a 3rd row but to be honest I'm happy it doesn't. There has been tons of times now that I can't take all of the girls(4th grade) to soccer or the movies because I can't fit them all in. Sometimes bigger isn't better!

 

[saint]

Thanks will check them out. This will be my wife's main car. We are definitely wanting the third row.
