Indeed, I bought the Suburban for the comfort of being able to transport 2
adults, 4 kids, a week's worth of food & camping gear, riding gear for all
six, pull a 4 motorcycle trailer loaded to the gunnels with fuel and spares
and still be able to scratch way back into our favorite mountain/desert
backcountry camp site.

Will the SUV bashers out there kindly suggest a non-SUV replacement vehicle
for the task ... oh yeah, our venerable Accord isn't up to it.
