False, true SUVs are built on truck chassis, are BOF, or both.

No idea, google search.

And we’ve since learned that modern DI gasoline engines are dirtier than most HD diesels, but that never seems to come about: http://articles.sae.org/13624/

Problem solved:

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just put big balloon tires on the Tahoe?

The regulations were passed using falsified results. So the regulations were passed on exaggerated test results, which allowed them to pass stricter standards they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to pass. 

I keep full coverage on all my vehicles. It costs me less than $20/month extra. In return, I never have to worry about “ifs”. If something happens, I’m covered. The money I get either fixes my vehicle, or gets me enough for another.

Stolen car was insured I hope?!

Owned a 79 Magnum (same car). Was a great car for daily use. Reliable, efficient, comfortable AF.

Those were inflating readings to pass stricter standards, before the VW issue ever came about.

Huh, AWD car gets out of the hole quicker than a RWD car, who’d have thought?

So buy a project and solve that sadness.

You mean the VW who was caught cheating on falsified regulations by an outside lab?

Funny how a person commenting thinks a national newspaper lack bias, despite the lack of any real info in the very link you posted.

They exceeded false regulation.

Instead it was caught by a little lab in West Virginia many years later. 

Technically, they never caught the issue period. Some little West Virginia lab caught it, many, many years later.

Instead use a biased SFGate article, cute.

Maybe if they’d have spent more time actually testing and less time trying to make false standards they’d have caught VW themselves?

Wouldn’t it be crazy if automakers began designing vehicles specifically to beat unrealistic/falsified tests only to find in real world use their vehicles produce less than estimated? Realistically, emissions should be tested and evaluated per mile. This is the only way to get a real view of vehicle emissions.
