What do large families in Europe do? I never see minivans or large SUVs over there.
A lot of people I know who have these here have them because they need to tow a boat, a camper, a horse trailer, etc. Minivans are limited to what they can tow. Europeans don't tow all of this stuff.
People buy SUV's on a truck frame to haul things. This is true. Most people that get an SUV never actually haul anything except two kids.

The surburban is another vehicle in a class all by itself
You can get a bench front seat so you can seat nine passengers and still out luggage in.
My rich boss had one. She had four kids and carpooled. She often have nine in the vehicle

My wife has a 2012 GMC Denali. She loves it has it since new.
Back story is 5 foot two inch Toyota Camry and Japanese car lover.
Back in 2005 we had a two and a three year old and thinking of a third one. She did not want a station wagon or minivan.
GM at time was having employee pricing and she got a super loaded GMC Envoy XL. She did not trust American cars so we got a 7 year warranty.
She loved that truck. It got totaled in 2012 in Hurricane Sandy and was shocked she insisted on another full size three row GMC truck
People like then and they are expensive. But GM often gives 7 year interest free loans and folks keep them 10-15 years.
Go online and shocking how many for sake with 200,000 miles

As I said, they're just the modern jacked up station wagon. Real SUV's are put on truck frames so men's egos aren't hurt.

Nobody actually pays MSRP for any fully kitted high-margin SUV. Yukons are solid for -$10,000 under MSRP. I love them. Nobody does large SUVs better than General Motors.
Even that angle, it looks ugly and they shot was taken to make it look as attractive as possible. Those massive SUV's are just big ugly station wagons.

These GM SUVs provide a lot of vehicle for the price. If you need to tow a big boat or camper but need more seats than a crew cab pickup, it and the Ford Expedition are your only options.
These run forever and keep their value. So it's not as expensive as you think they are. The 2021 Tahoe and Yukons also have a lot more leg room in the 3rd row with the redesign.

Lol. Those enormous SUVs are apparently not intended for adults to ride in the back. So cramped. So ironic given how much space appears to be in the vehicle.

Dealers have been using these lines for decades. They're always sending postcards and talking up customers who come in for service saying oh we're short on used inventory and there is record-high demand for your <insert vehicle here> so we'll throw money at you just to take that 'ol thing off your hands.
What the dealer wants you to do is, they want you to come on down to the dealership and trade in your old car on a new one. They might not even keep your old car. They might wholesale it to Billy the Wholesale Guy who comes around every Thursday at three with Dunkin’ Donuts. The truth is, they’re just trying to sell some more new cars.
Nothing wrong with upgrading after getting 12 solid years of use out of a vehicle, but do it because it's the right time for you. Not because you're taking advantage of some once in a blue moon opportunity re: your old trade-in and must act now.
Well we got a brand new 2021 for under 45k. Seemed like a great move, I hope Billy the Wholesale Guy enjoys it.
No you didn't. 2021 Yukon is a new body style and even the 2WD base models with cloth seats are $50k+
