Thanks for all the replies. I plan to see what deals I can get on a 2015 1500 Crewcab LTZ or Denali. A good friend with 4wd says that I should probably not get 4wd because it would only let me get further off the beaten path before I had to call a tow truck. Probably true...that's almost happened twice with 2wd. I was hoping for a midsize SUV... but once you've lived in a nice truck for years... it's really hard to accept the confines of the smaller vehicles. If the passenger seats had been more comfortable I probably could have made the switch.
A few months ago I rode in a 2015 LTZ...it was a bonding moment. DH liked the feel of F150 Platinum. We've thought seriously about Tahoe...but a truck is a bigger bang for the buck.
On a different thread...someone said their "dream" was to see a mini Suburban. Now that would be great, assuming GM put in the really good seats.
Thanks again for the replies.
