2021 Tahoe Discussion

I'm actually unimpressed with the ride quality and that's coming from 3 pickup trucks (F-150, Titan, Ram). I can feel all the road imperfections. I only have the base suspension, so I suspect it will be much better with magnetic ride and air suspension. All the YouTube peeps seem to love that setup.

I wish there was another option for a large SUV with the same or more cargo room behind the 3rd row when said 3rd row is up and occupied.

This was about a month ago in our '15 Suburban LTZ on a 3 day trip to the mountains before we traded it in on a '21 Yukon XL Denali.

Where did you get this trailer? This is awesome!!!

It kinda looks like this one https://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-capacity-48-in-x-96-in-heavy-duty-folding-trailer-62648.html

I did something similar, but with the one from Lowe's when it was on sale plus military discount, paid around $475 for the 5x8, non folding though. I made 3 walls around it that can be removed if needed. It has worked great for it's capacity. If I need more which is rare, I'll just rent one from HD.

Looks like that rear camera option will be perfect if you load up like that again

I just got back from a road trip where I loaded my Tahoe cargo area floor to ceiling. Luckily I have the rear view camera which I love on a daily basis but after this trip I realize this is a must have option for what these SUVs are used for. What a fantastic feature! However it might be blocked when I add my hitch carrier.

I love the rear camera so far, wife complains of a glare of some sort, so she doesn't use it.

Once again another miss from GM. The rear view camera should be offered on all trim levels since all levels have at least the rear camera. Typical GM. profits over safety

Actually, I find the ride quality quite good! That said, I've never ridden in an F-150, Titan, or Ram and so I can only compare to my previous Tahoes and Yukons. My last was a 2016 Yukon Denali with magnetic ride and now I have a 2021 Tahoe Z-71 without magnetic ride or air suspension that rides much better than any of my previous ones; go figure!? In my mind, I believe it's the independent rear suspension that is providing the noticeable smoother ride to me and this even with the 20" wheels and all-terrain tires!

I agree about the previous generation. Before buying my 21, I test drove 2020 Yukon Denali and Escalade. I thought the ride was horrible. I was actually amazed at how poor it was for the Escalade. My 21 does ride better than those.

I agree that the ride quality is very good. I think this is a combination of the independent rear suspension and magnetic ride control that I have on my premier. The big 22s on my build do add some stiffness which some might not like, I actually have come to like getting that road "feedback" from the bigger wheels.
