We only have two kids who are already grown and are already out of our hair (mostly...), but with the exception of a 96 Suburban, all our SUVs have been shorty models: couple of Expeditions (eeshhh... I know, I know...), Escalade and Tahoes.
Again, with the exception of the Sub and the first F***, all have also had second row captain's chairs and they've always worked great. Even when we have had the occasional out of town visitors a few times a year.
Never felt the need to get another Sub/XL after the 96, though. Guess we were never the "haul all your junk with you" kind of family and the vacation transport has usually been an aluminum tube in the sky. And the dogs have been on the 4-6lbs range, too, so even they haven't needed much room.
When shopping for a replacement for my wife's 07 Tahoe last weekend, she said she wouldn't mind a Sub (not XL, since she doesn't like the front end...), but after we drove one, she changed her mind: Tahoe it has to be. And that's what she got and she's thrilled.
