Nice 'burban.

I'm thinking of getting one for my wife, too. She has a Grand Cherokee now & we hate it. It's too small, bad on gas (AWD - gets 8-9 mpg around town). I figure the next step is a Tahoe, but I might as well go with a Suburban. I want a black one, too. I have some friends with Tahoes/Yukons/Suburbans & they get far better mileage around town than we get.

I know, silly reason for getting a Suburban

i don't know exactly how accurate it is, but combined driving on the burban shows 15.1mpg on the computer. We love it. Alot of room for the kids and all our stuff for when we go on vacations, etc. Drive both of them, there really is not a huge difference when it comes to driveability.

****, they can do that? Damn. I woulda had the hats a tad thicker to ensure wheel spoke clearance.
