What 5.3 oil issues? My 2014 Silverado doesn't burn any oil.
I would look at a suburban/yukon xl. |

I don't know much about SUVs. How do you feel about a minivan? How old are the kids? Roof rack for added capacity but you could probably put most / all the luggage inside. Or get a trailer hitch + carrier.
Most vans fit all your criteria. You can also fold the seats down and use it to haul all kinds of stuff (full sheets of plywood, lawn mower, etc). Friend of mine has over 300k on a early 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. Biggest issue was the A/C compressor going out. |

You must be lucky then. They are known for sucking oil Is it a less expensive fix than replacing turbos/shortblocks on ecoboost f150s? I do have a friend who had both turbos replaces, and eventually the 3.5 eb grenaded. Not tuned.

Honestly this, or a Honda odyssey. I was super anti van but after we got one for family road trips they are the tits. Plenty of room good on gas and comfortable as hell.

No minivans.
I oftentimes pull a car hauler and drag home toys. I found a newer Escalade but 13/19 mpg is ugly. 403 hp is nice though |

Ah, shit. Pulling a car trailer'll pretty much mean a full size double cab pickup (double cab to get the seating arrangement you want) or a full size SUV I'd say.

Walk around your property and see if there's a parked SUV of unknown provenance.
You could start a thread about it. Maybe even finish it this time. |

I've got a sillyverado with a 4.8, same engine as 5.3 and it uses a bit of oil. I wouldn't call it severe about a quart between changes. Take the throttle body off the intake and peek in there and you'll see where your oil's going. That PVC system seems to suck it out of the crankcase.

Get a Yukon or Yukon XL, Denali trim level or the Escalades. They have the 6.2L motor, no AFM. Fuckers will last forever.
You should be able to find one in your price range with 75k miles or so. I bought an '09 Sierra 1500 Denali a few years ago with 70k on the clock. Was $25k. Great truck. ETA: I think the K2XX trucks have AFM in the 6.2, so look at 2013 and older. |

Nobody wants to admit that they really need a van, but OP really needs to suck it up and buy a van. Look into the Ram/Mercedes Sprinters. 5 cylinder diesel. |

Pull the transmission and take it in for a rebuild; 4L60E should run about $1,000 if a rebuild is needed. This would be a great time to pull the steering shaft and replace the sensor… The radio would be costly and I would go aftermarket.
