I wouldn't mess around with a Tahoe if you need the space.

My dad had a '99 Suburban w/ 5.7 that he ran to about 350k miles. Good engine, solid vehicle, seemed to have more low end power than my '05 Suburban 5.3. He didn't tow a lot with it, but it did fine when called on. I think he had a couple transmission issues in the 200-300k mile range, but that wouldn't be unexpected for any auto transmission from that vintage, I wouldn't think.
