Trucks aren't out of the question, but I'd prefer an SUV


You could get a crew cab truck and put a low profile (roll n lock for example) bed cover on it. Unless you have 3 or more children the crew cab truck will provide adequate seating and the bed cover will provide you with covered storage of an SUV.

The truck will have a much longer wheelbase though. Yukon's wheelbases are actually a few inches shorter than a regular cab truck. A crew cab truck is as long as a suburban.

The truck will be about $20M cheaper than the suv with the same options.

Yeah, I'm currently driving a Tundra Crew Max and it's been great but I'm getting close to 200K on it and really want a smaller vehicle that my wife is more comfortable driving. It has to be able to pull a 22' boat as well so I'm probably just going to hang on to the truck a few more years or until it starts to show some age-related mechanical problems.

I'll second this. Those crew cabs are huge now. Unless you need a 3rd seat or just don't want something that large they are tough to beat.
