Even with the 4 speed auto, the Sub seemed to be a superior performer to the 6 speed Expedition EL. Firm but smooth shifting and plenty of power.
With the 2nd row buckets, I can leave two Britax Marathon car seats installed and still access the third row with room for luggage. Massive towing capacity for an SUV.
I have always been a fan of GM trucks. They have a solid reputation for long term durability and I keep my vehicles for a long time.
Very little truck like tendencies.
The GMT900 SUVs look pretty sharp.
