We are looking for a new vehicle to ferry us around for the next several months and I wonder if you have any pointers. I have been out of SUVS for the better part of a decade, having transitioned to the less manly but more child-centric minivan... which we have since outgrown.
We are looking at larger SUVs, with space for three boys and a dog, plus medical equipment, etc. Roof pod is unattractive as a storage option due to our needing to access hospital parking structures ('ramps' in midwestish)
I have sort of zeroed in on the Yukon XL, but am open to any and all advice/horror stories. I have no desire to fry a transmission while on Dashiell's Make a Wish trip like we did with our Honda, a few years ago.
Thx!
