I really don't know what I would get. I need to get a few more years out of the gun truck before I decide to trade.
The new, shorter Acadia might be nice. I do a lot of rough roads in northern Manitoba and can't drive a pickup for various reasons, so all the sport cutes are out. I cannot see myself ever driving a Jeep or any other Chrysler product after having owned a GM. I have seen too many of the minimum strength components they put into these things to save five cents here and ten cents there, and put it back in the owner's lap to upgrade things like control arms, ball joints and wheel hubs. Let's not forget Jeep was the company who thought a CVT would be a good choice for an SUV.
At work, I drive a '15 Tahoe. I'm not a fan of full size trucks as it's like driving a tank but it is nice. The look does grow on ya though. Does have more head room than the 360's (I'm 6'2"). Unfortunately, they're way out of my price range and used ones haven't really come out yet.
I would LOVE a Tahoe ... if only it would fit in my garage. As one of the few people who get to occasionally drive police cars around race tracks for part of what my wife laughingly refers to as "a living" (complete with air quotes), I know the capabilities of the Tahoe PPV. Not that I am every going to go 220 KPH in one, but I have a good idea of the limitations of the stock Tahoe versus the Police Pursuit Vehicle, and where to put in some judicious upgrades for handling.
The 2WD Tahoe has been a very popular pursuit-rated police vehicle since it was introduced many years ago, but a lot of people don't know that GM started selling the 4WD Tahoe as a fully-rated, pursuit-capable police vehicle starting in 2015. THis make the Tahoe one of the fastest full-size SUVs on the market, and the only 4WD police vehicle, as opposed to the AWD of the others. It uses a similar transfer case as the Trailblazer, and is the only pursuit-rate police vehicle that has selective 2WD, A4WD, 4HI and 4LO.
Ironically, I always thought the Trailblazer would make a great police vehicle because of its robust construction and low center-of-gravity but by the time GM realized the Tahoe would be wildly popular, the Trailblazer was already out of production.
In fact, the Tahoe is so popular that police agencies need to order eight months in advance, and GM completely dropped the Impala for 2017. The Caprice PPV (which is curiously only sold in the U.S.) sells in fewer numbers than Ford drops off the back of railroad freight cars, so it will disappear soon. Don't expect the price to come down much.
Rats.
But I take comfort in the fact that there are a lot of Trailblazers still in use with police agencies in certain specialty units because they are very fast and very ubiquitous. If you don't believe me, watch the movie S.W.A.T., and spot the Trailblazer that Sam Jackson is riding in.
