The real 2014 tahoe?

[LuSe4]

How is it going to have a fold flat 3rd row if it still has a live axle rear suspension? Ford was able to have a flat 3rd row when they went to an independent rear suspension.

My thoughts exactly.

So today I financed a vehicle for a "supervisor" from the GM plant in Arlington, TX. As you know that's where the Tahoes are built. He just got back from Detroit a few weeks ago after seeing the 2014 Tahoe. This is what he told me:


Front quarter was kind of odd with a double fold in the fender (His words trying to explain it)

Fold flat 3rd row

Huge interior upgrade with everything being more "Cadillacesque"

Contrast stitching in the seats

He just bought his wife a Tahoe from us in December and made the statement that if he knew then what the 14 Tahoe was going to look like he would have waited.

Based on how excited he was talking about the 14 Tahoe I think that it will be a good looking ride.


Also this article is definitely a GM vehicle and not a Ford. Ford has independent rear suspensions this does not.

This seems promising, only time will tell though.

That was the first question I asked him and he told me that it folds flat, but not INTO the floor. The way he described it the floor panel is raised up (I think behind the 3rd row) so when you fold it down it appears flat.

Live rear axle is disappointing. Ford won't put independent on the Mustang and it hurts that car and GM won't put it on the Tahoe. I wonder if they reduced the gas tank size on the 14 Tahoe to make room for the flat folding seats.

I know the vehicles are safe because little cars tend to stay away from my wife's XL Denali. I seem to get a lot more people cutting me off in my Impala or Corvette.

Well i guess we will see when it shows up. But just by that description it's a good thing that kids sit back there cause it sounds like that seat will be an uncomfortable SOB.

And it sounds like it will lose cargo space and possibly fuel tank size.

I guess GM is in the final part of finalizing the details for the next Gen SUVs/trucks. Also looks like projector headlights will be standard for the new models because it was on the mule Tahoe and Silverado. http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet.../2014_chevrolet_silverado-1500_ss_627121.html

This is the only thing that worries my about the new hoe. Hopefully this wont make the whole truck look "odd"

and its definetly a chevy! The oval on the grill is not even on straight.

2014 Excursion has solid rear axle.

Too small to be a excursion
