Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yoby" data-source="post: 127554" data-attributes="member: 631">I was in a similar situation about 6 or 7 months ago. Went from 2 kids to 4 in 3 months (long story). I still have a crew cab pickup (only reason at the time for keeping it was the 4 kids situation was supposed to be temporary) and picked up a Yukon XL (same as suburban). My wife tells me I can't have a dead deer in the back of the XL so she thinks I should keep both.Mind you I have a topper on my pickup, so weather and locking issues aren't a difference.There are just things you don't think about when you have the pick up. Tossing wood in the back, letting things hang over the tail gate, or if needed leaving the tailgate down, the ability to hose out the back. My biggest was the gas cans. Still haven't invested in one of the carriers.  Depending on what you do most though, the pros out weigh the cons. In the crew, my dog was in a kennel in the back. In the XL he runs free (not enough room to have the kennel up). So there is more hair in the XL. Also you have to put up with the dog farts. In the XL, the kids have more elbow room. They aren't hitting each other, throwing crap on each other. Downside, you have more to vacuum. In the XL you have more seating room, so if you are someplace (camping, visiting relatives, ect) you can fit more people in your vehicle without have to switch around car seats or take 2 vehicles. Ice fishing just plain sucks if you have a portable. haven't figured it out yet. I have a 12ft jon boat I toss in the back of my pickup. I can't do that with the XL.I don't know what you haul, but from a 2012 Chev Crew to an 07 XL, the tow capacity drops a decent amount. I think the pickup has a 9500lb tow cap. The Xl has a capacity of 7900. Something to keep in mind. (there is a transmission change in there, have determined if that impacts anything)</blockquote>
