That would be awesome, but we paid under $4000 for
the 2500 Yukon XL and those 4x4 conversion vans go $20k well used all day.
I have thought about the rooftop carrier but one they cost much more than this one trip will add, and we don't do anything like this but maybe every 4-5 years. Also I be that and loading the van with 3/4+ of its payload and a big box on the roof will narrow the difference considerably compared to the SUV running under 1/2 of it's payload. My wife also says the middle row of the Yukon is more comfortable than the middle seats of the van which have that cool "stow and go" thing but that makes the cushions not as good as the old fashion captians chairs of old. My main concern isn't the $65 in gas, it's the age and mileage difference between the van and the Yukon. The Yukon is a 2001 with 233,000 miles and the van is a 2011 with 83,000 miles on it.
