An early 2000's 2500 Suburban or X would be a good choice IMO.

There are a few things I still want/need to do (tires, shocks, dually conversion, paint eventually, seat surfaces), but I'm so glad I bought this instead of the van or another truck. DW has plenty of room and the kids are spread out to not terrorize each other as easily.
