Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

[soulsea]

OBS SUVs were an iconic classic design, NBS SUVs were beautiful for their time (I still think a 2006 SWB Denali is one of the most beautiful trucks ever made) and a big reason why the US consumer now only wants SUVs, and the NNBS SUVs were the high point of the GMT line, in 2009 a 6.2 Hoe was just about perfect ... imo the K2xx were a huge step backwards, and although this next gen is definitely an improvement, it is clear that it is (like most other vehicles) an exercise resulting from homogenous branding/design language driven by focus groups and marketeers.

GM is also so weirdly slow with adopting new design cues and when they do they just randomly copy other manufactures. Hey I like the red tow hooks on them Jeep Trailhawks, we should do that. Hey I like the quad exhaust pipes on that M5 lets also slap that on there, never mind that that look peaked five years ago and everyone else is using integrated tips, we'll do that next gen, and shut up NNBS designer that pointed out the Esky Premium had them. Now let's talk about the access ride feature that my wife's 2013 RR has. I mean none of it is terrible, and some of it is very functional, it's just a weird approach.

I'm not closed to them as I was with the K2xx, but I really need to see them in person and more importantly drive them. A 6.2 Yukon AT4 with a proper wheel A/T tire combo might be something I'd consider. We'll see ...

Hm. I didnt know a 6.2 hoe was even an option until the last year or so.

They stopped it after that. My guess is that someone at GMC raised hell. Back then the interiors were identical so other than a front clip preference there was no reason to buy a Denali if you could get a 6.2 in a Tahoe.

Some shots from the Chicago Auto Show. Not the best photos, it was super crowded. Chevy and gmc had the 2021s, doors were locked. Cadillac did not have the Esky

Awesome pics! Glad to see as timing gets closer to GA they’re starting to show up at the car shows.

The designs look great, I’m sure the proof and evidence of the success of this redesign will follow, in a spike in sales numbers. Which by the way will “spank” GM’s direct competitor, Ford Expedition and Navigator.

was that a gm show? or just a car show in general? I see a solid axle on the vehicle behind it

GMT400s look the best, GMT800s look the second best, square bodies (yes, the old ones) look 3rd best, K2XX is 4th best, and wow, these new ones are waaaaay ugly on the back.

Good eye! I believe it was a car show ad there is a VW banner in one of the shots.

GM didn’t have that lineup ready a month ago at the car show in my area. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person!

Looks like a set of duratracs, so maybe its the pickup truck?

That's what I was thinking must be a Silverado/Sierra if GM at all
