You did not indicate your Tahoe was lowered. Normally folks would think your front bumper cover is the same height as a Prius hood.

It isn't lowered. Perhaps I could have stated it more clearly, but my point is that if the snow on a route is tall enough that it'd be a problem for the Prius, I wouldn't take the Tahoe on that route either.
When I had my AMC Eagle or when my '57 Chevy with a posi had winter mud-pattern walnut-shell studded retreads? Sure, but neither the Prius nor the Tahoe as currently equipped.

‘13 LTZ vs Prius for road trip in Winter?
Repair & parts availability … Tahoe
Safety, whether it’s your doing or not .. Tahoe
Milage, well Duh! Save 35% on fuel with the Gas Buddy app. Find e85 on the way. It’s as low as $1.99 gal.
Snow or Rain, plus possibility of getting through when chains or cables required… Tahoe due to ground clearance
Performance & comfort … Tahoe
Results are in. Take the Big Dog.

I used run the LTXs on my Armada in snowy NH/VT, and they did good. The Nissan had some black-magic traction control e-LSD stuff that probably helped maximize traction, but if you look at the tread there are plenty of sipes and room to clear snow/slush from between the blocks.
