My thoughts:
1) Congrats on kiddo #3!!
2) A "Duraburb" would be awesome (love the "unique" factor)
3) A 4x4 diesel van* would be nearly as awesome (again, very unique)
3) If you're unhappy with the Ford 6.2L I think you'd be unhappy with the GM 6.0L
4) You "could" consider finding a 2005 6.0L Excursion and taking it directly to Anthony of Super Duty Service in Grain Valley MO. See thread titled "Awesome 6.0L-only mechanic"
5) You'd be on the envelope's edge but perhaps you could try to find an 8.1L 2500 Suburban and upgrading the hitch (I assume that's possible)
*not sure of the model years but I believe, for a short time, there were GM all wheel drive Duramax vans on the market. Another thought would be an E350 (V10 or diesel) with a Quigley 4x4 conversion
Happily, I think your budget would accomodate any of the above options.
