Cargo doors vs. hatch
Is there anything wrong with the side opening cargo doors vs. the vertical hatch?
I'm looking at Tahoes and found 2 that I like, but one has the vertical hatch and the other has side opening doors.
Thanks for any input.

With the hatch you can sit at the tailgate while its raining and not get wet...
With the hatch you get a full 180 degree view of things around and to the sides..
With the hatch you only have to secure one door when hauling a load longer then the bed of the truck....

Really depends on what you like.
I have the "barn doors", cargo doors, as you call them. They are the best for access loading into the rear cargo area for the wife (5'-0" tall). Pretty sure less moving parts. the hinges have been covered for a while now.
Most prefer the vertical hatch. Might want to think about that for resale.

tvone,
Personally, I like the hatchback style better. I have a TrailBlazer and the hatchback is very convenient. Plus you don’t have to really worry about the hatchback hitting anything like you would with the swing out doors. However, it is personal preference. Go with whichever you like the best.
