Funny story, I quickly and suddenly found myself in a 2016 Suburban LTZ. Wife is 7 months pregnant with baby #4 and although our megacab has been great accommodating all of us and our gear, it won’t be comfortable with 6 humans and 2 car seats once baby comes. But it’s still going nowhere because there’s always a need for a truck. What I had to trade was my high mileage Mazda 3, which was already too small to comfortably fit all 5 of us and plus it was a manual and my wife doesn’t know how to drive. A handful of times already we found ourselves in the situation where she needed me to take the kids so she could run an errand on her own, but that required me to drive them in the truck and her to take the car. Not happening. So the Mazda was the obvious choice to trade. Then, the question was, trade for what? Initially I was looking at any and all midsize suvs with 3 row seating. Once the wife saw a few of them, it was quickly established that class of vehicle was not big enough to fit kids on all rows of seating, plus stroller and groceries or whatever gear of the day. Surprisingly Tahoe’s have even less space in the cargo area than midsize suvs. So then is when Suburban came into consideration. I never thought to consider the Suburban because I already had a monster of a vehicle, the megacab. At first, having two behemoth gas guzzlers in the driveway was out of the question, but this is where our current needs in life have brought us. I’m excited to learn about my new Sub from y’all and to contribute to this community
