Everyone has their favorites and opions on this one....If a H2 is out of the question
...I like my Yukon XL, you don't have to get the XL lenght and you don't have to get the lux interior of the denali...has pleanty of power for towing and sledding and better ground clearence then most and a good turning dia. It has more room then the jeep, better visibility and is very easy to drive, your wife will love it.
It is made in the US (GMC) and is reasonably priced.
Gas mileage stinks but you don't buy this for commuting into the city.
I looked at the H2 but could not convice the wife, she thought it went agaist my "low profile" lifestyle. I need to fit in out here not stand out. ( I think she was right but they are boss vehicle!)
