Why is the lack of LED brake lights and rear turn signals a deal breaker when you're buying a mainstream full-size non-luxury BOF SUV? Many other new SUVs/CUVs and lower trim pickups use incandescent turn signals, yet those don't get bashed for the lack of LED turn signals just to look more "Modern"..? If you want rear LED turn signals, you're looking at a luxury branded vehicle, not a mainstream utility vehicle like the new Suburban and Tahoe.

I’m really interested in what the towing MPG’s will be on one with the diesel. I’d like to pick up the Tahoe with the diesel to do some cross country RV’ing. Im gathering that the Non Z71 should get better MPG’s due to aerodynamics and tires. 8200LBS is ok for towing capacity in the Tahoe but disappointing compared to the expedition’s 9300LBS.

I've had six Tahoes/Suburbans/Yukon Denali XLs over the past twelve years or so and I can't go without that extra space behind the third row. The Suburban's/Denali XL's extra length is a little bit more unwieldy in tight(er) parking spots but not enough to dismiss the idea of having one. When I take the Denali XL surf fishing with family on the New Jersey shore the extra room for gear is invaluable. Even at that I have a Thule cargo box up top to reduce clutter inside the vehicle.

[@northerngunner2756]

PLEASE test the difference rear axle ratio has on fuel economy. Do an unladen and towing MPG loop to see what kind of reduction in fuel economy a higher ratio has on two similar trucks. The EPA does not rate trucks with different axle ratios separately and it’s common knowledge that the higher the ratio number the worst fuel economy you’ll get but nobody can see exactly how much worse. I want to know when I buy next truck if it’s a significant difference.

As some have mentioned already the Suburban really needs to be 3/4 ton (2500) whatever you want to call it because the payload is far too low for the way most people I know who buy these things use them. People who buy the Suburban usually do so because they actually need the people hauling and cargo space and they often tow a boat or some ATV's. Heck, the people I know who have Suburbans tow a lot more than anyone I know who isn't in the trades does with heir truck. Anyway, put a 4 to 6 thousand pound boat and trailer, RV or ATV's?PWC's and you're down to somewhere between 800 and 1000 pounds of payload left. Now put five to six people in there (some may argue they are kids but kids can weight a lot before they can drive their own car) and you may not have a pound of payload left for luggage and other needed gear. When you build an SUV this large it should have the capacity to be fully utilized. Sure, people will overload them and not think a thing about it but should it break while overloaded you can bet GM isn't going to warranty the thing. And should you have an accident while overloaded insurance might not cover you. Yep, I know, everyone says wet blanket, dude, until they're stuck paying the bill.

This is off topic but.... I think the blazer is a great and good looking vehicle but should have been a new gen equinox and then we could have gotten a proper blazer.

[@VARITHMS]

Still no room behind the driver seat. At least the suburban has a cargo area and the hatch glass opening and fast door are nice

[@tristanhipps604]

the z71 looks great!

[@SonnieScripts]

Does anyone else have trouble with there daytime running lights always on in 22 z71 Tahoe. Except in shade they turn off

[@markwhite8543]

Have they fixed the problem of repeatedly burning out the lamps all over the vehicle?

[@marvinlopez198]

Front rear chrome bumpers available on these models reinforced toe hitch available

[@btl4220]

when will these SUVs get the Diesel ???

[@TFLtruck]

We don’t have an exact date yet.

[@btl4220]

The Fast Lane Truck but GM is gonna do it ??

[@gilbertojode5073]

Gasoline sales needs to stay afloat

[@btl4220]

gilbert ojode what ???

[@ahmadaomar91]

Yes the 3.0L diesel will be offered on the tahoe/suburban

[@Dwealdric]

2021 base 4x4 Tahoe went up $12k Canadian over a 2020 base 4x4, but still running the same ancient engine. Ridiculous.

[@foxwithshades7080]

I am guess you'd rather have a DOHC twin turbo V6?

[@alecbaye9703]

Lmao ancient engine? It’s the best in class V8, get a Ford for V6

[@darens440]

If by ancient engine you mean greatest V8 engine ever? The LS and LT series V8s are the only reason to buy a GM.

[@Michael_ryan91]

@@darens440 the newer ones are known to have lifter failure. My denali needed a new long block at 30k miles changed the oil every 6k full syn. If thats the greatest engine ever.... Im out.

[@rockriver15]

daren s you can say what you want but gm is going down hill and it’s sad. That 5.3 is a turd

[@LacDole]

Actually fuel economy is worst than last year 6.2L 2020 vs 6.2L 2021 (-1 mpg hwy)... I guess at that price you can probably afford "refueling at home" services especially since they reduce the fuel tank capacity on both models... 3 gallons less for the Sub & XL and 2 gallons less for the Tahoe & Yukon. On a road trip without too much load they shorten the fuel range by about 80 miles.

[@QuizYourFriendsNow]

Ford goes to its customers for daily usage and design comments and suggestions, GM goes to its engineers. You can clearly see the difference in the direction both are going in their vehicles.

[@MrTaffiny1]

Wrong. Don't make claims without facts.

[@Torsee]

Shawn Mon Hell GM rehired the Pontiac Aztec designers..lol You think that’s ugly, hold my beer!

[@sdjrinc.6921]

And how's that working out for Ford, these still out sale the expedition and the Escalade still out sales the Navigator

[@rockriver15]

SDJR INC. don’t think so

[@Ohsee83]

Chevy just can win anymore. Their entire truck and SUV lineup has been garbage since 2008.

[@ttamcc.4674]

Yeah yeah sure complain and cry

[@Tusuperbis]

Idk? I really like the chevrolet lineup. I just wish the CEO would lift the performance ban on everything!

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

@fritzdaddy-135mm get staggered if that's the case why are the Tahoe and Suburban the best selling full size SUVs in their class? GM has completed owned this segment for +30 years and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

[@AutomatedGunTurret]

2016-2018 was the last good body style. These new styles are all trash.

[@jermsman18]

Is it just me or is the expedition cheaper, tows more, and better mileage? Would love to compare those two.

[@platinumlawnservice]

I dont see the MPGs ever getting much better than what they are. My 01 tahoe got around 20 on the highway with an earlier version of the 5.3l. It is what it is. A large vehicle with an old school pushrod V8 that are easy to work on and not too complicated. They are amazing. They could have a twin turbo v6 but that would just be more things to go wrong.

[@mattward330]

Would love to have the high country suburban with the diesel and air suspension. The Banks Derringer will definitely wake 3.0 up more when it comes out.

[@jacobberlin614]

Use the seat folding button like Tommy did

[@IDontKnowHer212]

A plastic skid plate on the off-road package... ? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sketchyssk8shop]

Other than the rake on the windshield, they dont look bad. The suburban looks much better without the wheel arches cutting into the doors. Space is impressive. As far ad efficiency. What do you want. They are massive heavy machines with old style pushrod v8s. 18 n 16 mpg average is pretty good for 2 giant trucks

[@johnblack8313]

I like to see u do off road review on that z71

[@BrandonHughes]

Are you sure that Z71 Tahoe didn't have adaptive cruise? That looks just like my Sierra, and you hold down the cruise control On button to switch between regular and adaptive cruise 🤔
