If you like the feel of a big, heavy vehicle and you have the need to transport hordes of kids plus the camper trailer to put them in, the 2012 Chevy Tahoe SUV makes a great choice. Not as long (or expensive) as a Suburban, the Tahoe’s smaller size makes it a bit easier to park, and its E85-compatible V8 engine gives greater flexibility come fill-up time.
If you don’t have the need to tow more than 6,500 pounds, you can get 8-passenger seating and better fuel economy (and maneuverability) in the Chevy Traverse. Also, the Tahoe’s rear-most seats must be removed and stored to form a level load floor, which may prove an inconvenience for many.
