They are expensive have terrible gas mileage and are hard to park. I still want one!

The Tahoe/Yukon is the shorter version of basically the same vehicle. Still expensive with pretty bad fuel economy. Less hard to park. Huge vehicles for sitting up high.

True space efficient utility is found in minivans. The Suburban/Tahoe platform vehicles are decent in this regard but they add massive towing capability to the mix. Most people who have these heavy SUVs never use them for their intended purpose.

I really want a Toyota Land Cruiser but they're the best and the worst of the breed. Awful fuel economy and pretty bad space efficiency. Driven by lawyers, CFOs and orthodontists all over suburbia.
