How far do you travel? Take two vehicles!
When we bought our TT 5 years ago, we had a crew cab pickup to tow, a minivan, and a small CUV. Traveling 3-5 hours wasn't always pleasant with just 5 people, no pets. Since we preferred traveling with 3 rows of seats of the minivan, my wife wanted a 3-row TV since that's how we were planning to spend lots of our travel time. And that's how we got a 2500 Suburban as my DD replacing the CUV and pickup. Within 6 months I decided 60 miles a day at 13mpg is not budget friendly, so my wife took that and I got a 40mpg car. Sometimes looking back I think we could have kept the minivan, kept the crew cab pickup, and just gotten the high MPG car. 500 miles round trip in that is insignificant compared to a new Suburban! We could be taking two vehicles very easily for passenger comfort.
