2007 Tahoe --> 2WD with 4 cylinder engine by vrm

I hope GM offers a 2 WD verison in the 2007 Tahoe.
 
I dont really care for the V6 and V8 engines. All I need is the V4 engine with 2 WD.
This combination will offer the optimum gas mileage.
 
People who want V6 and V8 engines should not complain about gas mileage. You had a choice and you chose the gas guzzler option.

A 4 cyl in a 5000lb vehicle, yikes. Even if it's a turbo diesel 4cyl, it would be painfully slow and useless for anything other than maybe mail duty.
 
Witht the size and weight of these vehicles a 4,6, & v8 probably will all get similar mileage.
 
If you want a 4cyl with some room, get a small wagon.

I think you thought this was a CR-V thread.

The interior is much better than previous model, but the front grill looks horrendous. It looks like a huge version of the front end of the Uplander.
We owned a 2002 Tahoe and thought the SUV was great.

OK, the exterior everyone agrees is acceptable and the interior is a big improvement from the 1978 pick up truck they took the present interiors out of, but how about the drive train? Will the General offer rack and pinion or stick with the old fashioned recirculating ball? Multivalve heads? A head high air bag canopy? IRS? ( You know, all the current things that Ford offers.) Will the big guy handle or still be imprecise on the interstate? Will there be premium Tahoe/Yukon specific tires or just the cheapest OEM tires they could source? Will there be fog lights that really help in fog/snow? Or just decorative lights, like now, to turn on when it is overcast so as to be seen by others, not to improve your forward vision. Will they match the present larger torque convertor that GM uses now on the Denali to all 6.0 engines in the Tahoe or just use the same convertor they use now with the 5.3? HID lights or maybe even Zenon (the population isn't getting any younger and people do drive these things at night)?
 
These changes have been a long time coming. I hope that GM doesn't try to do a head fake with just a few cosmetic mods but really executes a new, modern SUV capable of comparison with both the Sequoia as well as the Land Cruiser.

It will use rack and pinion steering. Rear suspension remains a solid axle -- no IRS. There will be side curtain airbags as well.
