Explorers are no longer SUV's of old, they've fallen prey to the crossover gheyness world to meet consumer's designs. Tahoe by far craps all over it if you are looking to have an actual work vehicle instead of a commuter turd.

Out of curiosity, how do Palmetto State Armory's AK's tend to hold up? Haven't seen much on their stuff outside of the AR lineups.

After a dozen years of having a truck bed, it's hard to give it up. I've been happy with my Xterra, but it's not a pick-up.

I want to buy another handgun. But I really have no reason to. I really doubt if anything will replace my G19 for everyday carry. I wouldn't mind having a VP9 or maybe a CZ though..
Maybe I should buy an M92 and wait for SBRs to no longer be subject to NFA rules.

Yes, tahoes are a prime candidate for soccer moms, but those soccer moms can go more places, tow more ****, and keep their dignity all at the same time.
Oh well I guess, apparently it's just me that feels this way lol.
Edit: Quick google search = 5k lb maximum towing capacity for Explorer, 6k+ minimum for tahoe.

Aren't the Tahoe and Explorer in different classes of SUV anyway? I thought the Tahoe was bigger, more comparable to an Expedition.
