Default OT: Need an SUV 97 LX450 or 99 Sub

Guys I need your help.

My wife and I decided that we should get a used SUV for the winter and also for doing the Home Depot run, she doesn't like using her Odyssey. We narrowed down our choices to a 96-97 Lexus LX450 (70k) and a 99 Chevy Suburban LT (44k), both can be had for about $13k. I have never oned a Suburban, but have always wanted one and I have a Lexus LS400 that I used daily and love it. Now IO know gas prices are very high right now, but with the amount of use we will have it should be ok. Also my wife commutes with my two boys everyday, I feel much better if she is in a fullsize SUV during those bad days. So my question to you guys is, which one should I get, if I go American I get a newer lower mileage vehicle than if I go for a Import.

What do you guys think

Thanks and soon to add to my list

you are asking on a lexus forum, you will get a biased opinion. go with the lx, or if you want the cheaper version, go with a toyota sequoia. i dont trust american cars...they just dont cut it for me style wise and reliability.
