If you drive a large SUV and love it - what is it?

I drove a Suburban for 16 years. I loved that thing-right up until the transmission went astray. It couldn't be fixed and my heart was broken to have to say goodbye to it.

It was big, but it after a period of adjustment, I was able to drive it just as I could any other car-including parallel parking in one go. Suburbans are about as big as they get without requiring a commercial license (haha) and I never had trouble with parking spaces being to small or anything like that. I had captain's chairs to keep the boys separated, and we still had plenty of extra room. 

The only thing I didn't like was the gas mileage.

This is what I drive on a day to day basis. I love it. Big enough to haul, not so big you cant park it. 

I love mine so much, I will drive it until it wont go anymore. 

We have a 4Runner, which is one size down from the Sequoia. I did not want an SUV, but we got it because we have three large dogs. I really like it.

We own a Tacoma and the 4Runner and dh loves his Tacoma but thinks my 4Runner has crummy turning radius. He drove my 4Runner out to the dog show and then got into the RV and again said the RV turns better then the 4Runner    I have learned to park with my tighter turning radius, so it doesn't bother me at all.

DH drives a Tahoe. I really like it. It's easy to drive.

GMC Acadia Denali. OMG I could NOT love a car more.

Be sure to check leg room in the third row if you will be using it ever. We have an Expedition and all seats have good leg room. Storage behind the third row is limited. My uncle's Tahoe was horrible when it came to leg room in the third row. I was in pain from having my knees to my chest for an hour and a half and I am only 5'4".

I drive a Lexus GX460 and it is plenty big for me. I am currently driving a Yukon XL as a rental and that is way too big for me! Won't even fit in my garage.

We also have a CX-9 (2010).  If you need a 3rd row regularly, it's a little tight. We only use it occasionally. No major issues so far.

We loved our Sequoia. 10 years strong for us, lots of long distance drives, soccer games, family trips. Now it belongs to my neighbors and at 13 years old it's still running strong They love it! great third row seats Sometimes I still miss it but I needed something a big shorter to lift stuff into

Wonder if there is more limited leg room in the Tahoe.  I drive a Suburban and it has plenty of leg room in the 3rd row, plus more storage behind it.  I've been in the 3rd row comfortably at 5'6"

I've driven them for 19 years, have had good luck with them - on my 4th one.  I'm kind of sad because it doesn't seem necessary anymore since all my kids have their own vehicles.  Each of them learned on and have driven one of mine quite a bit.  A little intimidating to a 16 yo, but it's good experience for them.

We previously had a Suburban and the Tahoe was different in the third row.

We have a sequoia and ABSOLUTELY love it!!! My SIL drives a Tahoe, and there is a lot less leg room in that then my Sequoia. The only thing I don't like about ours, is we have a console in the middle of the second row. I wish it was open, because I'm forever yelling at them for crawling over the seats, even though it's super easy to open them.

We have a Suburban and it is great for long road trips and hauling lots of stuff around.

But my every day car is a Tesla Model X. It is amazing 230 miles on a charge. Seats 7. Back row is better for kids than adults. Lots of storage space. Easy to move seats around. The windshield is amazing and it drives like a dream!

Really?  I love my Enclave   But feel like my 5 year old is folded in half back in that 3rd row. Figured we would have to upgrade to a Tahoe or a Yukon before long. Because I.Will.Not.Drive.A.Van!
