Looking for recommendations on a family hauler/tow rig/occasional camp vehicle

When someone says “soooooooo many”, the extended number of ooooooooos typically indicates sarcasm. That holds true in this case. 4x4 vans are not a common find.

I’d add a 2nd gen Sequoia to the mix. AWD/4WD, nice engine, decent room inside. And the cool roll down rear hatch window.
I see 08-12 models going for around your price range with low-ish miles.

I've got a 2009 2500 Suburban. I went with the GMT900 so the transmission would automatically downshift when braking and on cruise control. This will be important if my wife drives it towing the boat while I am towing the camper.
There is no AFM on the 2500s. The vehicle does a great job with our family of 5 and a 6,500 pound boat. It's got 153,000 miles with no engine or transmission problems.
