[Shop-talk] suburban question

[pethier at comcast.net]

I went out of my way to get one with lousy gas mileage.  I wanted the incredible grunt of the 8.1-litre.  Towing an enclosed car trailer, it seldom shifts down from top gear.

My 2004 does not have the cargo space of the 1980s models, too much frufru on the sides, but it will still take a stack of 4x8s.
