So my wife and I bought a 2010 Ford expedition that was real nice DVD player for kids third row seats that were electrical could just push a button,leather seats air ride suspension real smooth but it gave us problems we had to sell,so we got the 2011 Chevy Tahoe Lt that came from police, with 130,000 miles we bought for reliability but she doesn't really like it too much it's not as luxury as she would like,it doesn't have a center console,no third row seats,it has the spot light on driver side,and she says overall it just doesn't ride as smooth and get up like the expedition I think it gets up just fine.we got it for 7200,and it needs seat belts In the back for our kids I need to replace not sure how hard that is,and I guess I just want to ask do you think this is a good vehicle for the family?what can I do to make it a little nicer inside I no upgrade the radio and try and find a center console I believe possible third row seats and stuff but does anyone have anything to say about these vehicles or what I can do.also it has no tow package so we can't tow a trailer,can we add one and does anyone no how much that might be as well as what I should do to the vehicle to make it last longer or any suggestions sorry I am not a huge car guy and just asking what's up out there?just need some ideas before she decides to sell it and get another vehicle more luxury.

Looks like my 2011 SSV when I first bought it. First thing I did was get a smaller bumper, lost the spotlight and get a set of OEM wheels off Craigslist. Roadreadywheels dot Com is also a good affordable option for oem style rims.
Real seat belts are under the side pillar covers. You can have it looking smooth in no time. Get a set of aftermarket shocks for a softer ride and your good.
There will be quirks with this thing but nothing you can't find the answer for in here. I used mine as a family car and it served me well.
