Truck prices just seem so crazy but apparently according to the thread last week there is a large price difference between sticker and sale.
My 2014 Silverado's sticker price was $39,880. I paid $29,380. This was for a brand new truck.

if I went the truck route this would probably be the one
If I got a tahoe it would just be the LS. the standard options are way more than my fully loaded 04 has, and I'd cut my arm off before paying 60 or 70 grand on a chevy.
I just REALLY don't like what they've done with the 3rd row and cargo area

Got the wife a '14 Highlander, great small suv but no cargo space when the 3rd row is up. Went and looked at the large Volvo SUV's last week...jaw dropping. Better than a Lexus or Audi. If you want a large one, wait until the Sequioa or Armada are remodeled.

The prices are insane for a new Yukon. Hell, I was just looking at new 4runners with leather and 4wd and they want like $45k. Crazy

Was this a special end of year promo or anything?

If you like your current Yukon, the new Yukons, Tahoes are great. Interior/features are much much nicer than the old ones. Cargo area is pretty good with the seats folded down just like the old ones. Yes the new Yukons have slightly less cargo room, but you also get the lay flat seats and you don't have to remove them as you did in the old ones. Many of the SUVs suggested in this thread have a much smaller cargo area. Yes prices are insane though.

What all are you towing? If its just a jet ski several CUVs will be able to handle it. Hell, a Ford Explorer is technically a CUV now. 
As for SUVs, I bought a '14 JGC Overland about a year ago and its pretty damn sweet. I catch hell here saying it but IMO the upper level trims on JGCs are about as close to an American Range Rover as you are going to get.

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.
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.

Can't argue that they're making a really good looking vehicle but I wouldn't touch a Jeep after the problems my wife had with hers several years ago. It was a horrendous POS that had so many warranty repairs we should have been paid for all our time lost taking it in. From what I understand, this has gotten even worse now that Fiat is involved. No. Frickin. Way.
not a single problem yet w/my '14 at just over 31k miles other than the recall for the shifter that people seem to have so many issues with b/c checking to see if you are in park before you get out is apparently too much to ask.

In the same boat. Going from an 07 Yukon XL SLT. Trying to convince the wifey (no pics) to go the minivan route is not working. $25k savings for exactly what we need.

Had a 4runner for 13 years, solid vehicles, no complaint. But I didn't like the new ones and bought a Highlander instead. Great riding vehicles, very comfortable. Would recommend.

I have no doubt that others have better experiences with them. Mine was dreadful and my neighbor has had more than a few problems with his 2015. Given that I have other options, I won't be buying one, ever again. Fool me once and all that jazz...

Sure you can go that route but I also know many people who have all kinds of problems w/Toyotas and Hondas even those are generally supposed to be the best when it comes to not having mechanical issues and such.
Sometimes you just get a lemon or a shitty mechanic (and I lean towards the latter in most cases TBH)

decent 2 row SUV anymore
I live in mountains so I need functionality you maybe don't.
Kia Sorrento is a two row SUV with mountain/snow driving package at the push of a button that was advertised in a Super Bowl ad with a James Bond type driving in snow and mountains to see his lover at her mountain top chalet.
At the end the actor asks for one of the cars.
Depends on what you need. Its not huge for an SUV. 39 inches headroom in the front drivers seat. I have never had one thing go wrong.
I am just under 35K miles at the moment.
There is a hill just 1/2 mile from me that requires chains or 4 wheel drive in winter. It has 4 wheel drive.
We have a very small boat. Taking it to the lake in a while. Its less than 2 miles to the lake.

No matter which 2016 Kia Sorento you drive, you’ll have a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, but if you upgrade from the 2.4L four-cylinder to the 2.0L turbocharged or 3.3L V6 engine, you’ll notice a significant boost in towing capacity. Both Turbocharged and V6-equipped Sorentos are able to tow as much as 3,500 pounds. And these specs are just for FWD models. Opt for all-wheel drive on trim equipped with the V6, and you’ll see that towing capacity jump up to 5,000 pounds.
Kia also makes a handful of useful accessories for drivers looking to tow with their Sorento, including:
Tow Hitch: This custom-designed tow hitch is mounted directly onto the frame for optimal towing and offers the durability and security you need when hauling a heavy load behind your crossover SUV.
Tow Hitch Chrome Cover: When your tow hitch isn’t in use, this Kia chrome cover gives your Sorento a bit of added flair.
Tow Hitch Bike Attachment: If yours is a family of bikers, the tow hitch bike attachment gives you an easy place to load up your bikes. Carrying 2-4 bikes on the rear of your Sorento, this attachment is more convenient than roof rack options.
If you find that you need more cargo capacity, Kia does have a wide range of roof rack mounts that can be used to store skis, snowboards, or even just a cargo box that you can fill with anything you need on your travels.
I have the roof rack too.
