TV recommendations for a large family

You really need to stop overlooking the excursions. With you r whole family in it, it will drive nice, it has the room, the cup holders and amenities, 4 by 4. Get a v10 over a diesel, you want to by 6.0 diesels very carefully so you don't inherit problems. They can be very good if properly maintained but since you are buying used I would not recommend. V10 for towing is a far better option than the smaller gas v8 for the load and trailer comfort towing. Of course a suburban with the 8.1 is a great option too. You need a heavy tow vehicle as you will be loaded up with your family and pulling a trailer, this also gets you the best safety equipment by going SUV over Van. Don't be afraid to scour nationwide and fly to the right vehicle. You really want a good towing vehicle for your family, don't under buy with all that precious cargo. Bonus is you will have a very safe winter 4 by 4 to go with it.
