Larry, This will be our primary vehicle. I do not drive. Our kids are all under eight, so they should fit in a regular back seat for several more years. We are definitely looking at used, and I hope to keep the price down.
My husband would happily replace our Suburban with another just like it. My thoughts are why spend $6000 to get another 15 year old vehicle. We could do the repairs needed on this one, including replacing the air conditioner, for about $2000. I think we should spend a little more and get something much newer and better with gas consumption. How do I figure out how much weight I am wanting to tow?

Will this vehicle be your primary form of transportation? *daily driver* 2. How large are the rear seat occupants? and are they still growing? 3. Are you looking at new or pre-owned? 4. What is your price range? 5. Are you guys keepers or do you trade vehicles every couple of years?

My family currently has a Suburban, but it is time for something newer. We do a lot of camping and other activities for which we fill up the interior space and add a car top carrier. The gas mileage for around town is killing us though. My thought has been to replace it with a car that will hold our family of five, and then getting a trailer to tow with the other stuff when we need it. Can a car do this? Do I need a tow package? What questions am I not thinking to ask? I look forward to your answer and possible suggestions. We are still driving that Suburban with the busted out back window. My husband is itching to get something else soon. Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
