while my gxp had problem since day one, so i can go to summit racing and or jeggs and order parts for the ls2 with out a problem and so far its quiet, runs strong, no noise no vibrations i have room to drive comfortably and room to haul stuff now

I considered the jeeps, but the prices were higher, and there's no point in having a suv that has horrible passenger leg room and no towing capabilities. They're badass, but wasn't a fit for me personally.

I wasn't trying to sound like an *** or anything. I was just stating my opinion. Don't get me wrong I would drive the s**t out of the TBSS if I had one but if I were looking around for that class of vehicle a GC would suit me better. Although, each person has different needs. I do not have kids or anything to tow in my near future so, it would be alright for me.
While I do like the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 better, the Trailblazer SS would be better suited for my family. But since I will probably never own either I guess my Expedition will have to suffice for another 3-4 years. It's slow and drinks gas like a dragster, but it's comfortable and safe for the family, no to mention paid for. My next SUV will likely be the VW Touareg TDi, has form function and exceptional economy with much torque to boot.
Good luck with your TBSS, hope it's less troublesome than the GXP was.
