Wayne, I didn't make it through Labor Day weekend!

[mwilson]

Well, the Prevost motorhome went out of my price range. So I wound up buying a GMC Yukon instead....

What can I say?

 

[jgillott]

Replacement for Hoopty or just addition to the fleet?

 

[mwilson]

Replacement for two vehicles. Son wants my '97 which I hardly use anymore and the 2002 Town and Country goes up for sale tomorrow.

A wise man once told me a GMC is a Chevrolet with lock washers:-laf Nice rig, Mike!

 

[Wayne M.]

Wow. You were too quiet! And the bus didn't hit reserve.
For a big SUV, it's a better choice than the Ford and a little quieter than a 12 valve!

 

[mwilson]

This will be the wife's rig, plus it will tow the cargo trailer and Can Am when the big truck is tied up or in storage.

All that while looking like a USGov executive.

 

[mwilson]

A "G-Man" you say?? Hadn't thought of that...:-laf

 

[mwilson]

And it goes without saying it is 4WD, you couldn't give a 2WD drive version away up here.

 

[GCroyle]

Needs steel wheels with those little hubcaps and a serious tint. Then G-Man.

Very nice Mike!

The Yukon/Tahoe are the only GM SUV's I would even consider anymore. V8 powered BOF SUV's are going by the wayside, along with their capabilities. I've had 6000 pounds on the hook on my wife's Mountaineer (rated for 7k lbs) and it handled it satisfactorily.

Ain't gonna do that with a unibody rig.

Wasn't really looking until spring but my local RAM dealer wanted it gone. Tried it out thoroughly over the weekend, put almost 400 miles on it. Wife and I were both hooked by then.
Got it cheap enough that the Credit Union wanted to know how I pulled it off. Also said "Do you realize what that books for?"...and yes I do..

Great Mountain Climber...

Nice SUV Mike! But to fit in with the kids you need to put on some 20 inch wheels with chrome spinners and dark tint on the windows on that vehicle. See it all the time with any GMC SUV when out driving around.

Actually my commish has exactly that right there but black. Mayors pool too.
