I didnt really want the AWD system or some of the other features, but i got a pretty damn good deal and it fits all my needs.
Room for TWO great danes
space to carry full 4x8 sheets of plywood.
length for 10 foot 2x4 and 12 foot steel (though i need the back window open for this)
And strong enough to tow.
Less than $15k
All of this left me with basically two choices
the suburban/yukon xl or the excursion.

Sounds like what I have been doing since 2006. My starting budget was more like 1.2k
I wanted a 2wd chevy blazer with a 6.2l diesel and manual trans (would take an auto), after months of looking I found 0. So I setteled on the 2wd suburban and I think it worked out better than if I had bought a blazer.
