Family of 5. I’ve owned 7 200 series. I’ve never had an issue in town, ever.I've been watching 200 series prices for a bit because we're planning on buying one later this year and this is my biggest fear. The truck is huge and yet somehow does not haul people well haha. I always am thinking in the back of my mind that a minivan is just a better tool for like 95% of people if they ignore the lack of cool factor. How many people are in your family?
This is a completely different animal because it’s at our mountain home.
Around town, my family likes it more than the Escalade. My 3 kids like not having to have 1 in the back, and when they have friends, they like the back seat. It’s roomy/not cramped like many 3rd rows.
My situation in Vail is just different. Flying in with your parents, 10 bags, 3 sets of skis, etc. it just had to be a full size Yukon/escalade.
Unless you regularly roll around with 10 pieces of luggage at home (or have a family of 7 every day), then it’s Land Cruiser all day.
Also - your minivan comment is blasphemy. There are so many good options out there to prevent a perfectly good family from having to live years of their life in hell.
