Yes the calipers are aluminum not composite.
The 2021 GM PPV and the GM Brembo upgrade are very similar and probably functionally equivalent for most people. For 2024 it is a bolton. The outside diameter and the width of the rotor are the same. The major difference is the inside diameter. For the PPV the brake pad is much taller, I think mainly to accommodate bigger pistons to get a closer to stock pedal travel, but I don't know this to be a fact, because I can't find the piston sizes for the upgrade kit. So the upgrade kit should have a firmer pedal and be more performance oriented. The PPV has more rotor mass and a bigger pad, so it may be more abuse oriented. So I think either are a big upgrade for towing, but I would lean towards the bigger rotor mass of the PPV for heavy towing.

Wonder if the cost of the ZR1 brakes is worth the difference in cost over the PPV calipers. It's only $75 per caliper more, plus the cost of the adapter bracket at $225.

This thread helped me a lot with upgrading to the 2021 Tahoe PPV brakes on my 2008 Yukon. I created a video to help anyone performing this upgrade in the future. My factory 20” wheels with a +31 offset did not fit (the 2021 Tahoe PPV wheels have a +28 offset)

It should. GM doesn’t reinvent the wheel, which is why it fits on 2007-2014. You may have to do some slight grinding like I did, but it should work. Just make sure your wheels are at least 20” and +28 offset. I have plenty of room with my +19 offset.

Yes it will. Thanks for posting the critical offset and tire size info.
GM doesn’t make it public but most of the suspension components in 07-14 & 15-20 (full size suv) are interchangeable by changing from a steel to aluminum knuckle and adding the 2015+ tie rod ends. Some 07-14 SUV actually have the 2015+ all aluminum front suspension from the factory.
GM also adopted the electro servo steering from the 09-13 Hybrid SUV into all other 2015+ full size SUV.

Excellent! BTW, No way I could work in the garage with stylish white shoes and not cover them with dirt/grease.
