Excursion diesel
Drove Tahoes for years, now I buy Ex'es. Drive it every day, everywhere. 50K plus a year.
I spend alot of time on the road and get to see alot of highway carnage. ALL cars are deathtraps.
Last week saw where a kid in a Cavalier stopped paying attention and went onto the berm on the highway. Rear-ended a broken-down crewcab dually. Cavalier looked like a car bomber, post-detonation. You could have driven the dually home.
My 16 year old is learning to drive in a Tahoe. He's forbidden to even ride in anything smaller.
Downside- the Excursion tows so effortlessly that anything under 6,000 lbs disappears back there. You forget and start cutting other drivers off on lane-changes.
