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.

Default Need opinions on 2007 Suburban, 2007 Tahoe, and 2005 Avalanche

  • Does the Suburban really have that big turning radius and difficulty of parking the vehicle? I have seen one and it looks normal; it did not look quite as big other people describes it. For reference, I see a full size Desert Eagle pistol as "small" that shocked my younger brother's late friend when he showed his Desert Eagle pistol.
  • How big is the turning radius, in your experience, of the 2007 Suburban compared to the 2007 Tahoe and 2007 Avalanche?
  • Is a rear-ended 2007, no airbag was deployed, Tahoe LTZ with "minor" damage, per Autocheck, still a good buy? This one was from Idaho then went to Florida where it got the accident then here to California being sold.
  • Is the 2009 Tahoe has significant improvement over the 2007?
  • Is the 2005 Avalanche prone to rust and rot? I have seen YouTube videos on it and the rust looked bad.
  • Does the Avalanche really have an optional tow package at the time? The dealer noted the 2005 Avalanche they are selling has a tow package.
  • Is loading a motorcycle cruiser, around 650 lbs, on the Avalanche's bed doable and safely be transported?
2007 Suburban is 2WD I suppose since it is LS trim.
2005 Avalanche is 2WD
2007 Tahoe is 4WD

Thank you.

EDIT: I don't have a garage so vehicle will be street parked.

The best answer is, it depends. Pick the best condition with lowest mileage you can find. All things equal, 07 was a problem year for gm. It was first generation cylinder deactivation. You may have set the record for the most questions in one post.

Avalanche bed is not big enough for a big bike. Not to mention getting a big heavy bike up that high in the air and getting it off safely.
3 state vehicle means it was more than likely a salvage and moved around to different states to get the salvage off the title. Happens a lot as it's easy to do in a lot of states.
