So I took the ad down after a couple days when I realized I wouldn't be able to find another before the trips started. We took it to CT for its first big trip and let me tell you, it is SO NICE not having to play Tetris packing our stuff like with the Tucson, escape, or an ext cab pickup. I loaded the stroller, pack n play, all my daughters crap, my wife's crap, and my crap plus the dog and still had perfect view out the back window. Pulled a 5x10 trailer up empty and came back with my lt1 shortblock, a plow for my quad, and loaded the rest with black walnut firewood, about 3000lbs total and drove home in 32 degree freezing rain without a hiccup. It does have 1 issue that I found, cold air comes through the cup holder and the glove box, so our feet and faces were hot, but our bodies had a cold breeze, kinda annoying because my wife got most of the cold air through the glove box so we kept fighting over the heat settings. Then for thanksgiving we went to va beach and took a trip to Corrolla to drive on the beach and dunes looking for wild horses. The locker made easy work of the softest sandy hills and I never felt like I was going to get stuck. Found a pack? herd? flock? of wild horses after we started following one of the hummer tour vehicles down trails normally reserved for hummers or rubicons or big tire trucks. 3000 miles in 1 month and my only complaint was 14-16mpg average, but I never got an unloaded tank to calculate, it always had traffic or a trailer or a lot of beach time to hurt my mpg, but I was hoping for 18. Also noticed the speedo is 10% off, just like my 95 with stock tires was. The tahoe and other 95 had 33s and read accurate to the GPS, so I don't know if this is common.
