This is my rig:

Its a '97 GMC Yukon. I have about 70,000 miles on it right now.
I really like it. It has a ton of room for our family and drives so nice for a rig that weighs over 3 tons

There have been a couple of things that needed fixing but nothing serious. One thing is the intake manifold gasket. Seems this needs to replaced at about 50,000 miles.
It is fun to get on the open road and open up the 350 V8

I use mine to pull our trailer. I have actually needed to use the 4WD on one of our camping trips to central Oregon. I got into a bit of mud and grass and got stuck. I just pushed the 4WD button and out i came with the trailer behind me.

I installed some larger tires (265-75-16) and fuel wise i get around 15mpg city and 19mpg hwy without the trailer.
With the trailer i average 10mpg:cry:

Give me a buzz if you need any other info.
