My wife has rarely asked for much when it comes to vehicles. Up until she decided, in late 2003 that she wanted a new full size pickup truck. I campaigned for a month for a compact pickup. Then I accepted defeat when she maintained she wanted a full size truck.
On 12/31/03, she got her new 2004 Silverado extended cab, 2wd gas hog. 38 thousand miles later, we still use it sparingly. She's happy as a clam with it. And you know what they say, "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"
Be sure to let us know what happens. It all boils down to making her happy.
