First of all they compared its acceleration to the suburban that was using a 3.08 gear. If they wanted to compare acceleration they should have used a 3.42.

Also at the price they tested you can get a Yukon Denali that completely annihilates Ford in every aspect.
 
GMC is terrible as well.

If they put the Silverado and Sierra front ends on the SUVs, they would look great. I think the GM trucks are just fantastic looking (the front ends, at least), so I can't believe how awful the SUVs look in comparison.

As far as the sales lead... I'd love to know how many retail Tahoes and Suburbans Chevy sells.
This is obviously your ford biased subjective opinion. Because in my eyes and the market's eyes the GMC is beautiful.
 
Did any of you actually read the article?

"The Expedition EL stops, steers, and rides better than the new Suburban. The Ford's 60-0-mph stopping distance of 121 feet bests that of the Suburban by 9 feet, and its more communicative and accurate steering makes it easier to place precisely on the road. The independent rear suspension ensures the cabin is a calmer place for passengers than in the live-axle Chevy on bumpy back roads, and helps the big Expedition track better through the twisties."

That's nice but where is the comparison to a similarly price Denali XL that has an 8speed, magnetic shocks, and a 6.2 liter that blows doors off???

A Yukon Denali XL 4x4 starts at $69,375.
