The OFFICIAL 2015 Tahoe unveiling thread

How did you get an interior view of a vehicle that was walled off?

They had a silver xl that one could actually get into. Was pretty damn sexy if u ask me.

This was the xl

So without having to go back through 30 pages, when are these trucks supposed to be arriving at dealerships?

 

[Goodinblack]

Spring?

Btw, just so you guys know what to expect with these fold flat 3rd row seats.

There's really only one way for GM to achieve that whilst keeping the SRA, and that is to make them slightly thinner and to raise the floor around them so that they appear flat ... but the result of this is that you get a lot less overall room because of the higher floor.

For example, with my third row out on my Esky and the captain's chairs up, I now have waaaay more cargo volume than I will have on the new gen SWB Esky with all seats flat. At least that's what it looked like to me when I saw these up close at SEMA.

So in effect they're not really 3rd row fold flat seats at all, they're just higher floored trucks to fill in the space around folded seats.

Thats why the expeditions have irs

It's the price you pay for looks. When following an expedition you see everything under the ass and looks a mess but that's because it's third row folds flat.

 

[Goodinblack]

Yes. I agree.

I know cause I had a 2003.

Serge, I get what you're saying, and agree since seeing the pics of the rear storage box in the floor. I love the concept of that box and don't mind the floor being that high. I have some uses planned for that box.

The box is nice, but it's basically the same thing as having a box behind the current 3rd row seats. The only space that is really gained between having the current 3rd row in and the 'fold flat' ones is the slight difference between the seat thickness and the space the current removable rail system takes. That probably accounts for 4"/5" I would guess.

Without looking at the exact drawings of both trucks I would guess that 4"/5" is also about what is lost in overall height from the 2nd row seats to the tailgate between the new 'fold flat' configuration and the old configuration with the seats off.

Again, all of this simply means that GM's fold flat 3rd row is really more of a design trick that sacrifices volume from the current gen to get achieved.

The only reason it really struck me is because when we came down South, we stored all our furniture in DC and only brought short term necessities until we found a home. It was all packed in rubbermaid containers:

That was about half way done ... by the time I was done I had but an inch to spare at the top and the front seat was full, so basically I used up every available cargo volume space. If I had the SWB Esky I simply wouldn't have been able to carry everything. That said, I guess such circumstances are rare for most users ... but then again there have been a few trips back from furniture or big box stores where every inch counted, especially when trying to get stuff through the back opening (gigitty).

I think some folks are going to curse the fact that they don't have the option to have maximum space, but that most folks will gladly give that up for the fold flat option.

Looks weird from the back imo



Woowahh

 

[THE YETI]

Love them!!!

That front end looks even uglier in that video, surprisingly. Wish someone had that same video but with the Yukon.

Spotted a 2015 Escalade this morning in NJ. Not really a fan. The nose isn't bad, but I think they overthought the tailights. They look out of place.

 

[Buck]

When the 07s came out I liked them right away but this might take a while to grow on me.

Well hmm let me tell you this:
It is made by GM + AC Delco=
1- The cracked dash
2- the shocks failure because of its short lifespan
3- shakes every where
4- electrical faults
5- the all new for your safety and Co. Profits the AWD system.
6- extra electronic features you dont need and can drive safely without them. (Electronics are cheaper now a day's but if it is installed in a car wow it means it should coast way more!
7- as always higher price!!
8- oh I almost forgot extra all new problems we have to learn about the hard way

So if you're asking I am telling now a day I dont care how it looks I care if it can deliver! Without the need of a punch of after market partz and modes!

My way is 5 days work and 1k mile and 2 days offroading means lots of sand and long road travels!! "' without dragging my own maintenance team to fix it all the time!'"

By the way I was hoping to see a 2dr! What?? Toyota learn how to build one out of your 2dr model and so far GM still amusing me by the "we don't care" itz only they are selling a good number of this truck (the fj cruiser)


I need to be a prince or a drug dealer to buy it! (The new Silverado v6 standard 2014 coast around 33k US $ !!!! 0 options the Z71 double cap coast 43.200$ why?? Because it can do the same as the 98 model!?

Keep the screen and the navi system there is nothing nothing like google maps! Updated + showing the trafic live+ I can share my position or go to others position directly= for free!!!

But true it looks hmm new!

FYI the new FJ cruiser is a 4 door. It is a clam shell design 4 door.

Sorry to bust your bubble.

GMs clamshell doors went bye-bye with Saturn a la Ion quad coupe.
