-Ever-

My family's 1990 beater Chevy Suburban is about to crap out. We used it for Home Depot, snow board, and scuba trips mostly. While I'm recomending that we stay with status quo (IE just buy a newer, mid-milage suburban replacement), they're interested in upgrading. I think they're forgetting what we realistically use the car for, but I'm having a hard time convincing them that they don't need to spend so much cash.

Either way, they're turning to me for advice because I'm the main car man in the family. Here's their requirements:

-Bigger to do these kinds of trips in
-Cost isn't much of an issue yet
-Leather interior

My insite to them is that it should remain a beater and we should stick with cloth seats, but my mom is set on leather for some reason, even though she hardly ever rides in the car (Maybe twice a year!) Furthermore, there is a good chance that this car could eventually turn into my daily driver, and I think a Jeep Grand Cherokee would do much better for this than would the Yukons or Tahoes.

I apologize for being ambiguous, but that's why I'm turning to you guys. I have no idea how these three cars stand up against eachother, and I'm having a hard time trying to find what would suit us best. I guess personal experience with any of the cars would be some good feedback to hear about (especially noting on the uses that I mentioned above)

Thanks guys, I'm off to some dealerships with my dad.
