its said that the more things change, the more they stay the same .... back in '01 our daughter bought her first vehicle, a really nice 2001 Tahoe which she kept until a few days go .... back in 2015 she bought her second vehicle, a Camaro .... while she really liked the Camaro, she realized that after 16 years of driving a Tahoe, she knew that it wasn't a vehicle she wanted to keep for a long time .... I must say that I thoroughly enjoy the times when she's in the market for a vehicle, we inevitably end up test driving a bunch of them .. :D .. this time the search lasted for 3 weekends .... the Camaro is history and whoever buys it will get an outstanding sports car .... in its place she now has a really nice 2017 Suburban .... this rig has bells and whistles that I didn't even know existed .... while it looks long, as can be seen below, it is the same length as our Silverado .... it really handles well, has a very smooth ride that is as quiet as any vehicle I've ever been in .... it has a towing package that includes a brake control .... its EPA'd on par with her Tahoe .... it really suits her and I wouldn't be surprised if it stays around for even longer

it is definitely built for a family .... it has 2 video monitors that drop down from the ceiling and headphones that carry the sound .... with 3 rows of seats and still with a large trunk area, it can haul a load .... switches in the rear along with on the second and third row seats, they can be lowered/raised at the push of a button

That's a beautiful SUV. Bells and whistles never did much for me, until I got them. I think that is a very fine looking ride. I hope she gets many years of good use out of it.

Thanks for sharing it.

as noted, during her search process we rode in several types of vehicles .... personally, I prefer a pickup .... if things go as planned, in 2021 I will be ready to replace my 2011 Silverado ... that means I'd be 75 years old so who knows .... I'd sure like for that truck to have several of the features found in our daughter's Suburban
