Then another 25 percent increase from the hybrid system, this should definitely take the full-size SUV crown (okay, it already has the crown, it should destroy everything else). Even loyal Ford and Dodge buyers will have to take a second look if Tahoes get 20-26 MPG combined city/highway, while Expeditions and Durangos are getting 15 or 16 MPG combined. Ford and Dodge simply made their SUV's too heavy, a fact that cannot be undone until the next full makeover.
It's Combined Fuel mileage is 20.5MPG for the 2wd and 20.1 for 4wd I believe, but it's definitely COMBINED fuel mileage, pretty cool.
