hahahaha “facts” SuV’s are more complex regarding performance when it comes to comparing “FACTS” to real life. V6 Vs inline ^ lol, whats your point.

listed 6,200lbs, means you’ll be pulling about 4,900lbs with normal efficiency.

^^^THANK YOU!!!, Duckjai, now you should understand, when i was telling you to look at V8 and full size suv’s was for this reason, those things pull somewhere 8000lbs and 6000lbs is normal for them to pull without damaging the suv at full max capacity.

yea, this old school yukon is the only one i’d go for, or the 2door z34 yukon, that thing is a beast.

> thouse trailblazers are HORRIBLE on gas, and thouse older models with the 4.6V6 although have good engines, to have some 4x4 issues which can be costly. I know a few people with the jeep v8s. and i knowthe 5.9L V8 was a FAST pos. Id say, go with the jeep, okay gas comsumption, lots of power and not too costly on the repairs, just find one thats not rotted, and DONT" buy the inline 6.

^^^ Amen…lol yea honestly the only domestic i respect is the jeep, not as great as before but after a bad last few years they are getting back their game, i’d look at older jeeps too they are bullet proof specially the cherokee classic 2001 + models.

you should be looking at quad-cab pickups, they are for people who want suv space and big truck pulling power.
