And the only people who will be able to afford the 12K trailer will be exactly the type that would never pull it.
The typical thinking doesn't work anymore. You'll see Toyota abandoning their BOF vehicles, Ford will follow suit soon.
There will be a place for pickups, and if gas stays down or ethanol takes off, the platform will be there.
However, GM thinks that they can get better packaging, good towing, lighter weight, and better fuel economy to better align with the way most people were using their Tahoes. We'll see. The H1 has an IRS. The usual rules don't always apply.
Maybe GM can make a 9K unibody tow rated Tahoe with a fantastic suspension, true 4WD and better economy and weight that the current gen. A Suburban with unibody packaging would have amazing space and utility. It would exceed the current Lambdas. That would be fantastic.
