I agree with Dennis, if GM would get off its rear and put the Duramax/Allison combo in a 2500 Suburban, I would be all over that in a heartbeat. Until then, I will keep driving my 2004 Ford Excursion with a 6.0 PowerStroke.

My previous towing vehicle / daily driver during the winter, was a 2001 Tahoe with the 5.3L and three rows of seats. If it would have had a bigger engine in it, I'd still be driving it. I had 102,XXX miles on it, and it only required oil changes and tires. Even with a lot of towing in the mountains, it never needed new brakes. Was the intertior perfect, nope, it was plasitc-y, but it never faded, cracked, etc.

My Excursion is pretty much a sea of plastic, who cares. Its a truck.

On a side note, it gets better mileage than any of the Seqouia's my boss has had (he leases a new one every 2 years).

My wife drives a V8 Volvo XC90...
