Hey everyone,
Looking to get into overlanding with my first non-daily driver rig, 50% me and the dogs stype trips and 50% family of two kids and two dogs style trips so want something full size.
At first was thinking a sequoia, but after a lot of good advice from these forums whittled it down to a GMT 800 1500 or 2500 suburban.
However, I found a good deal on a 2004 silverado 2500HD extended cab (6 1/2 foot bed) with a 6.0L and G80 LSD and thinking that might serve me better. It seems like just the truck version of a 2500 suburban from what I can tell and with a topper I could sleep in the back with the wife and kids could each take a bench seat in the cab.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how the Silverado would do as a light overlander vs a suburban (obviously neither is a rock crawler). Any help would be appreciated.
