Any OSO members have a 2007 Suburban?
If so, how do you like it? Thinking about getting one. Was wondering what you thought as an all around family/tow vehicle.

Double visors so that I could keep parking permits handyoverhead and still use the visor. The 07 doesn't have that feature.
A partition in the gove box thave gave me a safe pocket to keep lake keys etc. 07 did away with that.
Lock on console. Gone on 07, but has lock on glove box.
Enclosed store box on left side of rear storage area where I kept my trailer plug adapters is gone on 07.
Ash tray to keep ditra. Gone on 07.
Privacy cover over storage area and storage pockets on back of front seats appear to be made from cheaper materials. Other materials upgraded.
Air dam on front has seriously reduced curb clearance.
My 01 1500 seemed to handle better, but that could be because of the stiffer suspension on the 2500.
I only have a few hundred miles on it so far and was really PO'ed that they did away with all of my little storage areas. Having said that, this is my 3rd Suburban. I put 120K on each of the first two and never had a break down that left me stuck. The 07's are still Suburbans and I don't think you can find a better family vehicle. The 1500 towed my Baja 272 with no problems.

Stecz is pouting because Ford is in deep doo doo with their lack of new product
