You mentioned that you wanted to travel and enjoy your summers. This requirement will be best satisfied with a 3/4 ton crew can pickup truck and thus a happy and safe family looking forward to the destination and not worried about being stingy with cargo weights and such.
I have a crew cab pick up. It does a lot of things well but it does not compare to the passenger space of a Excursion or Suburban.
A pick up is no substitute for a 3/4 ton SUV when it come to passenger space. My prior tow vehicle was a 7.3 PSD Excursion. I still miss the passenger space.
HD SUVs are great vehicles but good used ones are hard to find in decent condition, thus not usually mentioned due to the percentages of obtaining one are low for the average buyer. Again, great tow vehicles but very few around anymore.
