Over the years have had a 72 Blazer, 77 Blazer, 82 Burb, 88 Burb and last one was 91 Burb. All were 4WD because of where we live and a need to get out when need to get out. When truck was down and I had an on going remodel project I used my 91 Burb to haul 15 sheets of 5/8'' plywood and 15 sheets of 1/2'' sheet rock, 8 footers all. Made a load but weather was wet and I was more than glad I had the Burb.
Try that trick in these so called "cross over SUVs"
Yes, an exceptional case at the time perhaps but was glad to have a real working/comfortable family truckster. Even now, with just my wife and I, have been thinking for going back from our 4WD Tahoe to a 4WD Burb again. Just her and I now but the room, comfort and safety of a larger vehicle does have it's advantages. Gas mileage be d***ed, I put comfort and safety above that at all costs.
Have to agree on the looks of the newer Burbs looking like a hearse. Thinking a 2006 Burb is about my limit of tolerance for a replacement vehicle.
