New (to me) vehicle shopping

Is a royal pain.  What I want and what I can find are two totally separate monsters. So we found a used Chevrolet Tahoe. Its nice, all the bells and whistles and what not... and we are toying with buying it. However I cant seem to find anyone I know personally who owns one. I can read reviews all day online, but its still not "personal" enough for me.

So any personal thoughts or reviews would be welcomed :)
