Do You Regret: Short-Body vs Long-Body

I informed you that that is not the case where I live.

Buying a car to make you feel more secure in your manhood is what matters. Regardless of how many soccer moms drive them.

We’re in agreement.

Its interesting, where i live in the Washington DC area anecdotally Suburbans are driven mostly by mom's. However, Yukon XLs and especially the Denali trim is almost always driven by a man.

In my opinion they are both masculine looking vehicles, however, mom's (or their husbands who secretly want their wife to have a Suburban so they themselves can drive one on the weekends) tend to just go for the utility of the vehicle and get the Suburban LT. Where as men who buy the trucks for themselves as their OWN daily driver want all the bells and whistles and therefore go for the Yukon XL Denali. Its just my observation of my location.

I live in the DC area aswell I see more men driving the Denali's and Escalade while the women do drive the Tahoes and Suburban XL's.

I’ve lived in the dc area for a while and met more women who climbed denali than men.

I live in NOVA and did not take a survey. But, I did buy Suburban as a utility vehicle. The LS is plenty functional and comfortable.

We have the Yukon XL and bench in the middle which we like. It’s been great having the capacity for 8 when hauling our 3 kids plus either their friends or grandparents around. And if that’s not enough space we can always use the hitch for a cargo rack.

We took the Suburban up Norther Arizona last month and couldn't believe how much stuff we could carry with the addition of the XXL Thule Force Cargo Roof Box!

How many people were you taking? And did you have second row captain seats?

we were 7: 2 adults in front, 2 teenagers and baby in middle row BENCH, and 2 young kids in booster in third row seating.
That left on 1 seat empty, middle seat in 3rd row, which was used for the toys and drawing books for the little ones.
"Trunk" area had food, clothing, and the baby push bike, cargo box had a huge 16 persons tents, a baby pack and play, bunch of pillows, 2 ikea rolled up mattress, 2 cots with their pads, and sleeping bags.

I never regret getting the ESV. I always have the trunk full of kids stuff.

Wow, that's awesome! You put your Suburban to great use. Do you think you could have done the same trip with captains seats in the second row and just have three across in the somewhat smaller third row?

That's awesome!
I figure too, if I am driving a full sized SUV I'm getting the biggest and hauls most version available.
Or we're going in a Vette.
