If you need to haul a large family and stuff and trailer, what would you use then?
Tahoe is 5300 lbs and suburban 5500lbs in RWD. 4WD is 200 lbs more. As the article stated 600 lbs lighter. I derive nobenefit for that 600 lbs. unless I am towing 9000 lbs which we would never do. Any tahoe that we would buy is going to have the max trailer package with 3.42s and 18s. And we don't need AWD living in SC. The interior in the Expedition is not my favorite either. Plus there is no way the Expy is going to match the Tahoes hwy mileage at 70-75 mph on flat ground.
 
I wil never buy a vehicle that weighs 6300 lbs. EVER. For ANY reason. That's just wasteful. I would like to see GM do additional tweaks to the new models. I know that is not their way, but a 250 lb weight reduction,better braking,, steering and cornering wouldn't be too much too ask.
