So after a 5 day camping trip over the 4th that required us driving 3 different vehicles (truck to pull trailer, MPV to haul gear/dogs, and Mazda5 for kids) We decided it would be worth it to get a used Suburban to replace our MPV. Most of the time we are a 1 car family DH walks/bikes to work he maybe drives to the store once a week, and I drive the 5 for the gas mileage. The Truck and Trailer are stored at my inlaws, their house a 2 hour drive from our house. We live in a housing development so no place to store them here plus most of our camping is up by their house anyways.
We need a vehicle that can pull the trailer (24ft arctic fox), fit 4-5 kids 2hbb, 1ff 1rf 1 teen, 2 dog crates, and our gear! Looking around our area we can get a 1997-2003ish Suburban/Yukon XL for around 10,000 or less with around 100,000-150,000 miles.
So any one have any reviews? Things to look for/ look out for?
