In fact, can you actually seat three across the Tahoe third row? Is there a middle seat belt? I wonder if the 2007 Suburban/YXL will have the split seat, or stay with the one piece. |

Replying to: suv_jerry (Oct 30, 2005 9:48 pm) First of all, to those of you who want a folding 3rd seat - get a minivan. Amen. Regarding quality, some of the postings indicated the new extended models would be out in June, 2006. I recommend you wait for late 2007 models or the 2008 models. They will have the bugs worked out by then If you don't mind a few extra days in the shop, then go ahead with an early 2007 model. I have purchased two models with signficant improvements over the prior year but not complete redesigns - 1996 and 2003. Both had problems with the radios. Both got two replacements. If you need a new, extended model (Suburban or Yukon XL) right away, buy a 2006. By the time the late 2007's come out or the 2008's, you will have a good trade in, and you can enjoy the new model. I just picked up a 2005 2500 model with everything - including DVD player. Everything is working great after 10,000 miles. I have to agree with the people who say the 5.3 is too small. It is. I have a 6.0 liter and I think it is just barely powerful enough. Does anyone have any ideas on the new 2500 models? Will they be equipped for towing? Will they offer the big block option? The lack of a big block enging and/or substantial rear bumper could squash the large towing capacity currrently available. By the way, the 8.1 liter, while a gas hog, was a blast to drive.

Replying to: 4rider (Nov 03, 2005 11:39 am) About a month ago I saw the results of a Honda Accord that rear-ended a Tahoe. The Accord for the most part looked totalled. Airbags deployed, total front end pushed back into the engine. I'm not sure but I think there was a scratch on the Tahoe's bumper. (meaning no visible damage as I passed by.) |

Replying to: brozowski (Nov 03, 2005 1:33 pm) The main reason I went with a Suburban over the Tahoe was the extra wheel base for towing stability and the extra room behind the 3rd row which comes in handy when someone needs to sit back there and I need cargo space as well. |
