They were doing magazine test in my area, got to sit in one recently, it is very very nice, the pictures and video don't do it justice. In person, that new Tahoe's interior is vastly better than the current Silverado and honestly feels right up there with my RAM, not just my Rebel by the Limiteds I've been in.
Wait until you sit and feel it, it's going to remove all criticism of the current Silverado's interior.
Good for them
I think competition is a good thing, that there really isn't a "Trash" truck made today. I don't believe there's a bad one.
Sure the Tundra is old. Yes I don't like ecoboosts and some of the coyote 5.0s have cylinder wall issues or whatever it is.
Yes the Nissan's got some fleas.
Ram's not perfect, GM uses wax coatings on their frames and you can't select the rear locker, it's "automatic" IIRC.
BUT. I don't think any of them are poorly made pieces of junk.
The "bad interior" of the chevy, while not great, I'm willing to bet a bunch of guys are going to end up keeping those trucks a decade and being fine with them. The pre-2021 Ford King Ranch? Not a bad cabin, at all.
To me the magic formula in a truck? For MY dollars
1) Must be a V8, or a big inline 6.
Ram selling the 5.7 Hemi, what was once the 3/4ton truck engine? that's gravy.
2) factory all terrain tires, real ones, large ones.
3) Light factory lift
4)
No giant front air dam, I would like ground clearance.
5) A comfortable liveable interior. Big seats up front, and room in the back for myself and lady in case we
[REDACTED]
6) 4x4 with a selectable rear-locker
7) good transmission
Ram boxes are a great bonus, they were a big deal to me, but I don't know if I'd include as an absolute must on the ingredient list.
I'm a fan of bilstien shocks, to have them stock on my vehicle? Awesome.
