Sacré-Coeur, QC - The wait was long, but it was worth it. I'm talking about my two-week vacation. That is a term I thought had disappeared from my vocabulary, what with nothing but a few short days away enjoyed from the keyboard in all of 2020. I don't need to remind any of you of the effects of the pandemic, which has extended to all spheres of the population, even that to that of the car writer.
But with the Canadian border still fairly tight, which makes booking even a winter sun vacation a roll of the dice – this summer was the time to be quick on one’s feet if one wanted to find a little corner of paradise in one’s home province, or maybe the next one over. For us, that ended up being on Quebec’s North Shore, which welcomed us with open arms for few days, whales and all.
THE perfect family road trip vehicle
To cover the 1,700 km of our family road trip, the Chevrolet Suburban - or any full-size GM SUV - was a pretty good option, since it can easily accommodate a (four) bike rack and all the luggage we could possibly want. But with either of the available V8 gasoline engines under the hood, the fuel bill was going to be high. Enter stage left the Duramax with its turbocharged inline-six that's making its debut in General Motors' full-size SUVs, just as it did in pickup trucks last year.
