Boy is starting high school in a few months and is finally gaining a social circle. We are also getting another dog. Wife says we should get a larger vehicle. We currently have an '05 Tahoe sans 3rd row seating and an '07 CR-V.
Well, I was thinking about a Suburban, but I've always thought those Excursions were just badass. And I hear that 7.3L engine is the stuff of legends.
But what should I be looking out for? The only other diesel I've ever owned was a 1981 Mercedes 240D. These Excursions must have a following because they're pretty dang expensive.
Other considerations: E250 van, Sprinter. The only requirement is 4WD and towing capability because it would also double duty as my hunting/adventuring rig and I one day want a boat. Also I know size is an issue. I have squeezed my Tahoe into some sketchy places, but I can't imagine being able to do the same things with a significantly larger vehicle. I guess I'm OK with it for now.
