The Land Cruiser is the best car I have ever owned. Solid as a rock, third row seats that flip out of the way easily, great ride, great interior, everything works perfectly, and nearly 400hp. I can't recommend this car highly enough.

Lexus makes a slightly fancier version of the same car, but it looks like a chick car . . .

Maybe a GL? Nice looking car.

My wife has the Cayenne GTS and it is an incredible car...too bad it is too small for you...

Yukons are nicely sized for big families.
We have a Land Cruiser and it's great for us, but a little small for a family the needs three rows, because there is no room in the back with all 3 rows in use.
Great car though, but I would suggest the Yukon XL if I had to get one.

I just dont like all the wood and all in the Cadies.

For my daily I'm in the Cayenne GTS which is very small for 5 adults... glad it's jsut me when I drive that, and my wife.

I got a chance to drive a new land cruiser and man that thing was awesome! It flies for its size (something like 6.5 0-60), has a great interior and solid build quality. Also, it might not matter to you but the off road capability is great.

I completely agree - If you need something that can haul everyone and everything, LC hands down.

...lets just hope you dont have daughters, my ex gf had one and the backseats on those things are enormous.

+1 on the Yukon...I'd get the hybrid, 6.0 v8 + electric boost must be nice, and 22mpg aint' bad for something that size either! The other cool thing about hybrids is that you can use them as generators.
