SUV Shopping

[ktraver97ss]

So, we were just about to pull the trigger on a badass lifted TJ and then found out we are expecting another mini-me! Since we sold the last Jeep because deadlifting a carrier into the back seat of a Jeep was a real bitch for my wife, that purchase is now off the table.

So, pretty much looking for something like these:

Love that this is TX truck so rust won't be an issue for a while, and the low miles are nice.
Cars for Sale: 2005 GMC Yukon AWD Denali in BONHAM, TX 75418: Sport Utility Details - 380984665 - AutoTrader.com

or

I prefer the Denali's over the Caddy, but the wife leans towards the Escalade.

Cars for Sale: 2004 Cadillac Escalade Luxury in Broomfield, CO 80023: Sport Utility Details - 381072702 - AutoTrader.com

Def want the 6.0, we both work about 2 miles from home so mpgs are not a concern. What other full size SUVs should I consider? Need something that can tow decent as well, no Terrains or crossovers.

Just save yourself some money and get a Tahoe. Put some decent wheels on it and you're golden

Peruvians like to ball hard, not enticed by tahoe.

Do the 6.0 GM SUVs have 4l80e trans like a 3/4ton pickup? I know they are 6 lug axles, but finding some conflicting info online with the trans'.

Too much truck, if I got a diesel it would be a 2006.5 cc/sb gmc durtymax tho. Im having one more kid, not triplets. lol

PS: check your email, queer

 

[ktraver97ss]

Confirmed, they are 60e transmissions in these trucks. That Denali with 68k on it seems like a steal though. Emailing for high res pics

Burb or bust!

 

[ktraver97ss]

nah, don't need an XL or burban. Tahoe size is the biggest we would need, I have a small open trailer for hauling more crap if I ever need to.

 

[EmersonHart13]

TCG Loves Burbs, get with it KTraver97ss

 

[SRT41320]

Tbss? Also if you were going to get a TJ, why not get a newer 4door wrangler?

 

[boostedguy05]

Off topic, can a mod please remove.



Damn that Denali got traded in Sat, and sold Sat evening.

Not a fan really. Seen a few I like, but they usually have some serious coin invested.

Tbss or wrangler?

 

[ktraver97ss]

Wrangler, tbss is on the radar, but kinda leaning towards something larger right now.

 

[SRT41320]

Gotcha, well good luck with your future full-size gm and congrats man!

 

[StrobinSS]

Gonna vote Tahoe here

 

[Yaj Yak]

burban or bust crew here.

i love when people knock how "big" they are... when they are barely longer than a tahoe... and still shorter than a ccsb 2500 anything...

 

[Yaj Yak]

also.

i'd want a burban or yukon xl because switchable transfer case.

do not want full time awd.

5.3 trailblazer ext switchable 4wd and bigger than a tbss, the regular size trailblazer was plenty big for my family of 4
