Crushing The Christmas Cargo Space Challenge: Chevy Suburban and Tahoe Beat Out Ford Expedition

Part of the success of any brand stems from the ways it can outperform its rivals, and offer more as a vehicle in every single demand. Ford has long been on our radar as a head-to-head competitor, and age-old spats have been ongoing with the likes of the Mustang and the Camaro for quite some time. Connor Hoffman of Car and Driver took to the blog this week to talk about the incoming Suburban and Tahoe's interior space, an important selling point for many getting ready checking stats and standings of New Year's offerings.

The independent rear suspension is one of the main reasons why the interior space, as well as legroom of both the SUVs, are boosted. This now allows for a lower floor, which makes it so much easier to load in cargo, and adds an abundance of room in the cargo area as well as second and third-row seats. The Tahoe now boasts an increase of 28 cubic feet in total cargo volume, and the Suburban heftily brandishes 23.

Our two prized Chevy SUVs at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse have bragging rights to five extra cubic feet of cargo room when measured up to the Fords: 26 for the Tahoe compared with 21 for the Expedition, and 41 cubic  feet for the Suburban, which beats out the 36 cubic feet brandished by the Ford Expedition Max. These two new full-size Chevy SUVs are built on the same platform as the heavy-hitting and very durable Silverado 1500 truck. One of the best uses for the Tahoe and Suburban has to do with a facet of business that is doing very well: the computer repair or sales company. You can stack laptops, desktop towers, and accessories galore in any of these vehicles, and feel pretty safe and secure while doing so!

All cameras onboard are now upgraded to high-def 1-megapixel standards, and message authentication as well as numerous gateway isolating busses are in place to assure that networks are always maintaining a peak security potential. This makes great sense, since the Tahoe and Suburban are some of the best choices in the nation that equip the police and fire fleets out there every day in the trenches protecting our citizens.

The previous-generation Tahoe and Suburban bodies were constructed from the firewall back, with the front bolted on, and now the new T1 includes the front structure previously welded in. Many out there have been worried about processes being “Earth Friendly” as of late, and the new paint shop for these two SUVs will employ a thin-film metal prep process that has the best interest of the ground under us at constant front-running and well-paced stance!
