our travel plans have taken an unexpected turn .... our travel vehicle was to be our Daughter's 2017 Suburban .... its radio isn't just a radio .... it has the Navigation, exterior camera and several other functions .... over a week ago, to put it in highly technical terms, its radio went nuts .... removing the radio involves considerable time in taking the dash apart .... first they reflashed its program, when that didn't correct the problem they removed the OEM radio and installed a new one .... problem remained .... GM dealer support called in and per their instructions, extensive testing began .... a third radio was installed yesterday and guess what, yep the issue remained ..... more consultation with GM .... by mid morning it had become clear that her Suburban wouldn't be ready in time for us to head west in the morning .... got a call from our dealership and was delighted to hear that they wanted to provide us with a 2020 Suburban for our trip .. .. its now sitting out back loaded with everything but out last minute items ..

Sweet, sounds like a heck of a dealership.
Enjoy the trip and be safe.

the fellow who has owned the dealership for 15 or so years has become a friend .... our entire family buys from him and even though he now owns 4 large dealerships, he handles our families business personally .... it didn't hurt that during the time I worked in the RV industry, I sent him bunches of customers who bought high dollar tow vehicles ... those days are gone but he still appreciates it

traffic proved to be a bit heavier than expected but we made the trip just fine ....if the Suburban's onboard indicator is correct she pulled down 21 mpg .... that's pretty much in keeping with the mileage our daughter gets on her 2017 .... it appears to be a fine vehicle

the loaner Suburban got us back home in fine style .... we are back home .... had a good holiday visit with family .... do hope all of our folks here are having a very good Thanksgiving
