Unknown: I think you have a reading comprehension problem.

I CAN'T go drive a unibody Tahoe, and neither can you because it doesn't exist. The comparison is NOT between the current Tahoe and the Acadia/Enclave/Outlook. The comparison is between the proposed unibody replacement for the Tahoe and the current Acadia/Enclave/Outlook.

The Acadia/Enclave/Outlook engine bay is big enough for a V8. So I ask you again, what capability would a UNIBODY Tahoe (not today's body-on-frame Tahoe, but a UNIBODY Tahoe as described in the article) provide that the Acadia/Enclave/Outlook would not? Both would be unibody. Both would have far reduced towing ratings compared with today's body-on-frame Tahoe. Both would have very limited offroad capability.

There is a point to keeping today's body-on-frame Tahoe and the Acadia/Enclave/Outlook platform, since the body-on-frame Tahoe provides some capabilities (towing and modest offroad) that the Acadia/Enclave/Outlook does not have.

But if GM replaces the current Tahoe with a unibody Tahoe as the article suggested, then there is really no difference in capability between the two platforms.]]>May 9th 2008 1:59PM
