#463 of 3125 Independent Rear Suspension by smittywall Feb 17, 2006 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: nedzel (Feb 17, 2006 6:19 pm) Independent rear suspensions (IRS) combined with fold flat seats (to please those who really want a minivan) hurt a trucks ride by reducing the available wheel travel. The '06 Tahoe already had the best ride of the 4 full size SUVs and the '07 Yukon I test drove last weekend was even better. The Expedition and Armada both with IRS, ride like bricks.

Replying to: smittywall (Feb 17, 2006 8:24 pm) Amen! You just can't justify the "I want more features" argument until you drive and ride in the new Tahoe. It's new ride is an eye opener to me on how different it is. And, I've owned 4 Chevy trucks previously, which I thought rode better than it's competition already.   I test drove a Ford, Dodge and Chevy truck when I bought my first truck. I drove all 3 down a brick road in the town where I lived. The Chevy was the only one that didn't "jar my teeth". That was 15 years ago. All 3 have improved dramatically over the years. I was amazed at the improvement this time around.

I read one review of the new Tahoe which said that both the Caddy and GMC had more "soft touch" plastics inside. Different grades of leather and wood trim, too, I think. Also, the Chevy and GMC are more unique looking now than they ever have been. I kind of like my GMC Yukon XL being at least a litle bit different compared to the eight million Suburbans cruising around Texas. And the 2007s are even more distinct.   However, I actually call mine a "Suburban" sometimes when talking to other people. I don't know if most people out there really know what a "Yukon XL" is, and the name Suburban has so much instant recognizability even among lay people. I called mine a Suburban the other day just so my coworkers would know what I'm talking about and what kind of car to look for when I pick them up at the airport.   Interestly, my GMC was a couple of hundred dollars less expensive than a comparably equipped Suburban. It has something to do with the way they package the options. So I get to drive what is supposedly the more upscale version, for slightly less money. Go figure.   Evidently the marketing message needs some work, but overall, I think the platform sharing, or badge engineering, whatever you call it, is a good idea as long as they continue to diverge stylistically and content-wise.
