So here is the dilemma. DW and I own a 2008 ford expedition (non el) with about 48,000 miles. We have four kids between 8 and 2 yrs old. We just purchased a TT about 3 months ago and pulled it about...
I really like our Express van. It offers lots of flexibility and with the 6 speed tranny tows awesome and gets decent gas mileage. As mentioned, if you can get away with the lack of features compared to a Suburban it will do the job probably as well.
I was concerned with how ours was going to do in winter but it had no problems.
