#439 of 3122 Re: Reductions in Towing Capacity for 07 models [brjohnson] by dieselone Feb 16, 2006 (1:17 pm)
Replying to: brjohnson (Feb 15, 2006 11:49 pm) I'm going to take a guess why tow ratings are down. I haven't read anything regarding the Denali, but the Tahoe gained about 500lbs which seems to be coming right off the tow rating. Which makes sense, if the GVWR is the same, added vehicle curb weight will reduce tow/hauling capacity.   AS for the XL/Suburban, I'd be shocked if they gained 900lbs and I certainly hope they haven't become that porky. Regardless I'm disappointed with the lower tow ratings in the 1/2 ton GM SUVs. The ONLY reason I have a Suburban is to tow my boat and have room for the family + friends, not something that can be accomplished with a p/u truck.   My current boat weighs between 4500-5000lbs depending on fuel level and amount of gear we bring along. This is the max I feel comfortable towing with my 5.3 powered Suburban since it struggles pulling up grades. Regardless of the 6.2 models tow rating, it will definitely do a better job with pulling power.   I guess GM will let Ford and Nissan have the lead in 1/2ton tow capacity. I'm curious to see what happens with the 3/4 ton Suburban. Lots of people have a need for a Suburban/Yukon XL to safely tow more than 5000lbs, maybe GM will try to push these people to a 3/4 ton.

Replying to: morey000 (Feb 14, 2006 7:58 am) I guess if that's what one wants.. and you buy the GM hype.. so be it... beauty is in the eye of the beholder..all they did was take up room.. pretty it up to try to get the Escalade wannabes ... whatever   and for those who think the price dropped $2500 off the sticker... like I said in my previous posts.. 'smoke and mirrors'.. BTW.. the 'leather' on most cars/trucks are just 'leather seating inserts' not the entire seat...   the gap between MSRP aand Invoice just shut down on the '07 Tahoe's from about 87% to 91%... so that $2500 cloud of smoke that GM is touting is made up for the most part with a 'shorter invoice'...   if one's goal is to try and base your negotiations on Invoice ..good luck... you think you're saving but you're really not compared to previous years... plus no rebates..yet..there will be.. a standoff..a 'push' .. between last year's prices and this year's supposed bargain basement cuts..but it made good press for GM   go to Edmunds prices for the '07 Tahoe and check it out..

Replying to: stakeout (Feb 16, 2006 3:26 pm) Sorry, I (and probably a lot of other people) have no idea what your post means. The entire first paragraph is less than clear. Could you re-write it?

Tyresmoker, not sure what you are saying. What I am saying is that in the real world (although not certainly in the first month of a major model redo) there is a 15K spread between a Tahoe LT and a TLC in net cost, i.e., actual transaction prices. In other words, 40K to 55K. I think your figures, as you posted above, agree with mine.
