They are somewhat capable with z71 trim added on. But its just not as badass as a 2500 HD z71. lol

Yes, but i don't know how hardcore you want to off road with it. It is no rock climber, i'll say that much. But you can take off up a mountain trail, or through a field with it no problem! When the road stops, you can keep going. Type of off roading.

And Vladi, yes i seen the Slade vs. the Range Rover comparo. It's interesting to see that Clarkson always wins in his euro vehicles, and when the Hummer is obviously in front, it magically stops moving. But no reason is given.
Give me that Slade, i'll beat Clarkson at his game! The only thing is, knowing your vehicle, and it's limits. Otherwise you get stuck like the retard that was driving the Slade in that comparo... why the heck did you want to climb an embankment at an angle like he did in the Slade? Because he wanted to get stuck, and lose. That's why.

The vehicle only can do so much, the DRIVER is where the decisions are made. That's what wins and loses a comparo (provided the vehicles are somewhat evenly matched). Plus, doing that in a Slade, Tahoe, or Suburban i would be happy to put Clarkson in his place!

Its cool, i just have a different definition of what off road is, I agree with you though that the Tahoe is a great looking truck, i just personally wouldn't use it offroad if it was my choice.

Yeah, i agree with you, sometimes Clarkson isn`t rght ,about mustang for example.It wasn`t gt,it was just simply v6. and i was surprised about comparing Atom and Dodge Ram, it was crazy.And Ram was pretty good loosing this piece of crap about 10 secconds.
As to Suv ,RR is pretty good with his stability systems ,but i dn`t understand how h2 stucked.It was another euro commercial.
Ps i 100% agree with one thing, the best american car is corvette,and i love it

Some of your guys choices for the best SUV make me laugh lol
A SUV that looks like an SUV but handles like a sports car is the perfect SUV IMO it will always be the Cayenne Turbo S Unless ferrari or lamborghini make one

Nope. Mine.

Even with the A-pillar rattle, squeaking door panel, and HVAC vent rattle.

Pre-2007 GM quality at its finest.
