    Next Truck: A Suburban?

    My family has always had a 03 suburban with the 5.3 just passed 170k. It is really nice to have the stacking room. Have not put in any computers but have never had an issue with packing as long as you know how to. With the 03s, the middle bench seat folds down so that the back is completly flat once the third seat is out. We pull about 4k #s cars with a trailer thats probably 1k #s and have never had an issue. Upgrades i would suggest for the burban would be placing metal sheets behind the rear window incase of load shift and to prevent a computer through the window. (basically like a panel wagon my dad was going to put some in when he was dj ing), and then load helper bags never hurt. We have packed the burban with 8 people, clothes for 4 days (times eight people) and a full size cooler. Then took a trip from the France Germany border to Italy and back. Without issue and a surprising amount of space. If I ever get lots of smalls at auction, first thing i do is load up my pickup and call the burban to get the boxes that could fall out of my pickup bed. Overall i give the suburban a triple thumbs up!!!
