Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

2013 Chevrolet Suburban
Platform: GMT 400, 800, 900

Dodge got its ass whooped by a Suburban!

This is the first post on this site that makes me wish we had the rep point option on this board...a post of common sense.

The sled is the equalizing factor...same sled, same weight, same aggregate under it, etc.

LOL @ the kid's reaction. Best pull ever is on the movie Thor where the guy tries to pull the hammer with his truck! ROFL

I'm not too sure about the Aggregate part...
Seems like those Rigs which pull the first three or four runs
do a lot better than those scheduled down the line a ways.

Not new, but I've owned a few.

Sorry, I'm not the die hard Chevy guy that some here are. I drive what fits my needs at the time, and it's usually either my Ford or Ram. The Tahoe is the family mobile unit.

I'm a member on a Dodge site that uses the same software as this site. They have a button that you can click that gives the poster rep points, essentially giving the poster more credit, or respect. It's nothing more than a "gold star" for certain posts. The button resides next to the "Report Post" button on the upper left of each post.

Rep points are generally given by other members for help that was given on certain topics. Those that stay out of the General or Open Topic sub forum that have high rep points really know what they are talking about when it comes to the vehicles in question.

The system is designed in such a way to show that someone is knowledgable.

When my trailer house gets hit by a tornado, I'll tell you guys all abo... nm, I would probably be blown to Oz with it.

OP, Thanks for sharing the video with us! Did either truck have their 4x4 engaged? The outcome wouldn't matter, just curious.
