But it adds more weight that the motors must pull and depletes all of the batteries faster. It is not like adding a larger or extra fuel tank, which depletes as you use it, and lowers the weight. Batteries dont get lighter as you use the energy stored.

Read my explanation above. This has been tried and theorized for decades, not just recently.

Therein lies the rub. This question has been asked several times, not just on here, but also with long haul and local deliveries. It has been tried before, and you have to remember that un like an ICE, as you start out you have a LOT of fuel. That fuel is a double edged sword, because since it is heavy, that adds to…

I also hope the new owners remember to fill... the... fuel tank... with... Diesel. Oh, and that new bright yellow light with the wind marks on the dashboard is not a Fart Detector.

They have been copying one another for years.

I like all of those things, just not the hideous front end.

Yes, that is part of the package.

It is the angle of the camera.

I have seen plenty of Suburbans outfitted for overlanding, so the size is all dependent on the owner operator.

Or replace the stock fuel tank, like a lot of overlanders do anyway.

Actually, GM has moved the DEF and Transfer case up into the frame rails on their new trucks.

“By” what?

You would, unless you saw how little you can carry or tow, and how much you really don't save on fuel.  These f/s SUV's are better with a large V8, or this I6 diesel. 

LAZY styling and design teams at GM these days. I could have sworn that in 2005, they decided to take the full sized SUV’s away from their pick up brothers. And it worked so well for them, because a majority of customers were actually complaining about the SUV’s looking like a capped pickup truck, and not their own…

At least the car looks good .

But at least GM still has the GMC line up to make money on until Chevrolet has the sense to get it right. 

Oh, and they are getting longer.  Why?

My thoughts EXACTLY. WTF!?

I saw this, as well as the pictures released earlier by Chevrolet, of their Suburban and Tahoe. The front end looks horribly like the Silverado, and I am a die hard Chevy man. But not with those faces.

Victims? You should actually do some homework and find out exactly why a lot of companies move out of the towns they worked so hard, and paid millions of dollars to set up and expand into. They do this because local governments make it too hard for them to operate in. Over burdensome regulations set in place,…
