I’m sorry...the new Tahoe is nice, but this is a real Truck!

[avalonandl]

they only cleaned it up because of MPG, the gains are significant considering on Engine only I can get 22mpg City with the 6.0L(on ICE only 100%)

26MPG-31MPG on the highway.(it's how you drive that matters.)
100% ICE.

Sure it has the battery but it's 12 years old and pretty much completely worn out and probably only has about 10-15% capacity left..

Can it leap tall buildings with a single bound????

22 mpg city - LOL w/ 15% Battery capacity....

As in regards to the test mule breaking down...it happens and I doubt the AFM was the cause....more probably a EV assist they were testing....

Always liked the look of the Z71 Tahoes and Suburbans, tough! We always look for the little "4x4" under the logo to see if it's a poser or a real off-road vehicle! hehehe

HHmmm, mine is a Z-71 and 4wd, but does not have any badges on it.

My current Tahoe is an '08 LS PPV, no 4x4 badges. But it's still got its GM "chiclets" (GRIN)... As for looks, I've owned two '99 LS 4x4s (old body style), and they were handsome enough. Tough too. Ran both to over 200K miles. Skipped over the 2nd gen (didn't care for the "melted jellybean" styling of that series). IMHO the 3rd gen ('07-14's) were better looking and more refined than even my '99s...

FWIW............... I LOVE my '19 Girlly Tahoe, she is my ' Pavement Princess '.............

Girlie Box?....no ~ I'd say more of a wolf in sheep's clothing

That's exactly what I'm talking about, Brent @Bill D Long live the ladder-on-frame construction and V8 power plants in these rigs.

"Melted Jellybean"???!!! I resemble that remark!

After 6 Suburbans and then 12 Escalade's, I am pretty happy with my Tahoe, so far so good

new truck interiors are superb. Exterior can be argued.

It looks good. IMO as a insider at the time the GM truck engineering team was eliminated in the 2005 “convergence”. Can’t help but feel that the “Truckness” took a back seat after the Car group took over.

This groups idea of a beautiful car as below was carried over into the future trucks. They got their way with the styling theme they implemented on the the future truck exteriors.

The resemblance is not lost on me.
