Ever tried taking a Tahoe on a DECENT offroad trail? I have, me and the lads took one on a hunting trip when I was living in New Zealand. Funny thing is that I have also taken a Cherokee, Isuzu Trooper, Pajero, Landcruiser, Ford Courier, Pathfinder and Discovery over it as well. All had absolutely no trouble in comparison to the Tahoe.

I've seen countless clips of H2's trying to take on trails and simply breaking things (The most famous being the one that snapped it's front axle). It's well known that the H2 can't handle any realistic off road conditions- so what does that leave for the other SUV's? Not a lot, since AM General are supposed to be GM's offroad division.

They should join the Ford Explorer in the "Yuppie Chicane" catagorey.
