[VAC] Re: Van as tow vehicle

["Louis Joyner" <joyner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had all but decided to buy a '99 Suburban as a tow vehicle for our '64
Overlander (26', 3900 lbs. dry, 400 lb. tongue wt.) when, hanging out at the
dealer waiting for the Suburban to be brought around, I wandered over to the
area where they kept the GMC Savanas.  Now that is a roomy vehicle, an
attribute that the Suburban has from side to side, but is limited on in the
rear seats where four boys and a couple of dogs are going to be stowed.

An opinion from someone with experience with these or other full-size vans
would be appreciated, from the standpoint of towing, and as a family hauler.
I know that others use them, but they are far less common than trucks and
Suburbans.  Don't want a conversion van, and don't feel the need of the
"SLT" model, but a few bells and whistles are nice.

Thanks
