First off, your suburban is coming out great and you’re making amazing progress..

“My dilemma afterwards is, do I cover the floor with insulation and carpeting, or put some veneer on top and leave the wood exposed (for aesthetic purposes)?”

Personally I think the exposed wood would look sexy. However if you plan on using it to haul anything I’m not sure about leaving it uncovered. If it has a third row even people getting in and out would mark it up.

Thank you! Good point about the potential for wear and tear. I'm inevitably going to use the space to move things and you're right that veneered wood would get roughed up.
