Aren't the Tahoe and Explorer in different classes of SUV anyway? I thought the Tahoe was bigger, more comparable to an Expedition.

With the third row up in a Tahoe you'd be hard pressed to even fit a decent sized cooler

[QUOTE=Rajeev762x39 post_id=1474860581]VP-9? Or save my money for a ceramic bezel Omega Seamaster 300 meter?

[QUOTE=Farley1324 post_id=1474862021]Yes, the Tahoe is the Expedition's parallel. They are rather different in size, build, and price. Tahoe is still basically a truck, Explorer is not. Definite price difference.[/QUOTE]That's what I thought.

What do you tow that's 5k plus? And for how many miles a year?
No question the VP9.

I'm not saying that the tahoes are the end all of vehicles, simply that in my opinion, they are better than explorers. The 2011+ explorers look decent but too close to crossover/van territory for my liking.

Not that any of that is going to stop me from buying my wife one next month. Just pointing out that some things have changed.
I found out during this process that apparently even the Denali doesn't have a true AWD stystem anymore.

Also until the recent re-design the third row seats in the Suburban/Yukon XL had to be physically removed from the car and then put back, which gives more potential cargo space when they are out, but those things are heavy enough a lot of people would not reasonably be able to do it

Did you happen to check on the ground clearance issue? Consider price and fuel economy also, and mix in the idea that almost nobody tows cars and farm equipment with either. Does not towing cars and farm equipment make you a soccer mom now?Heavy trailer + cars, farm equipment, etc, no exact idea on mileage but I would say at least 8-10k miles a year back when I was in that line of work.

I towed a car with my Explorer. Haven't towed a car with the Suburban. Now what?
I did fit multiple 12 foot long 6"x6" treated wood posts inside of it though. With the tailgate completely shut. Can a pickup do that? Didn't think so.

Of course, if THIS is your truck, you can maybe fit the 12 foot long 6x6's completely inside the bed

That pickup looks like the arsewhole who parked in front of me at the gym this morning. Backed into the space in front of me at some point after I had gone in. His trailer hitch was about 2 inches from my bumper. I'm assuming he had a back-up camera . . . if not, then he was even more of an idiot than I thought to start with. WTF do people do that crap?
