Lost my truck, wife got new wheels…

I was perfectly content with my paid off truck, but as things go around here, my wife and her kid hauling duties won out and my truck got traded in for a full size SUV with a 3rd row.
Just one detail- it appears this land yacht is about 4 inches too big to fit in my garage due to the placement of the AC air handler. Not sure what can be done about that or how much it would cost to move the entire thing to the other side of the garage, that doesn’t sound like a cheap project.
Goodbye Tundra hello Yukon XL.

Super nice new ride! Betcha it's a smooth comfortable and safe bus for hauling around those kids. I've had it's little brother the Acadia for the last couple of years and it has been the most trouble free new vehicle I have ever owned. Bob
Sounds like maybe you will be trading in your house also....😁
I probably shouldn't comment, but. Can I ASSume you're partially responsible in some small way for those 'kid hauling duties'?? If not, just let her figure things out.
I was asked why my spouse(don't give her charity of calling her wife) and I couldn't share a vehicle. Some females don't understand the concept of 'sharing' and tend to just expand into whatever space is available leaving the other sharing partner SOL.
Looks like a nice ride.

nice ride
It'll take 30 minutes to fill the gas tank ..................... about the same time to run it dry.
I love a big boat ... very nice
You gave up your man card truck for a grocery getter? Good man, you got your priorities right, a happy wife is a happy life.
Just be aware of the time zone difference when talking to people in the back row.

It makes my skin crawl to think of a woman bossing me around. Several of my friends are in relationships like that.
I loved my Nissan Armada when I had it. With the seats folded down I could carry longer material easier than I can in my F150.

I liked my wife's armada but the gas milage sucked. My Ford super duty got better. Don
Your wife made a wise decision. I love that Yukon. We have/had an Eddie Bauer Expedition . Drove it for ten years. My son borrowed it for a few days when his car broke down. Haven't seen it in five years now. LOL. Went and bought a new Dodge Ram. Should have bought a Yukon like you. Now that we are empty nesters, Guess a big suv like that is not what we need.
Good luck with it. They are super sweet. I'm Jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words fail me. Changing from warbird to cream puff?😈
We have a larger older land yacht lol the best thing is how many dogs fit lol I would love a shortie.... Someday ❤️

Sure beats a mini van!! Very nice Warbirds!
I told my wife that if we ever got down to just one vehicle, it would have a bed and tailgate on it. So far, so good. We have her Buick Encore and my F150.
Very nice......it is amazing how much stuff you have to cram into a vehicle just to run kids around !!! Good move
Yep. I think we got 13 mpg pretty consistently with ours. My F150 gets about 14.6. But in fairness, the Armada could tow more.

Yes, I could tow a trailor with two big round hay bales and the Armada pulled it like it was not there. Very nice ride. Don
I was driving my wifes Camry yesterday and a new Suburban pulled up beside me.I was so ashamed.
As you should. Don
