I saw them at a wharehouse in So Cal. This was an evaluation first for interior and then the exterior. They are going to look great.

Ha Ha, good one. Fat fingers at the keyboard.
I could not take anything in for the evaluation. They have airport type screening. No camaras, cell phones etc..If I could have taken pictures, I would have.
I've read that the trucks will be out first and then the SUVs but they will be 2014 model year. The SUVs all looked the same size as we see now. The Tahoes maybe slightly longer overall, same wheelbase. Specs indicated higher horsepower ratings and if I remember right, 8500lb tow rating for the Tahoe/Yukon.

Well I hope they upgraded to the new Etch-a-Sketch system (for STS ) and put in a cabin air filter.

So the sheet metal will be essentially the same and will have interior changes?

Still has body on frame construction?

etch a sketch

speaking of, my Tahoe is back at the dealer for the 800,746 time.

Brake Pedal squeaks at 50%-100% depressed and the sunroof squeaks on open / close.

$55,000 piece of junk, I'd like to drive it off a cliff (without me in it).

Get more use out of a $10,000 clunker. Again, my Wife's Tribute with 110,000 on it, we bought for $13k has less rattles (none), and has been to the dealer TWICE since we got it. (A/C button failure, and new alternator at 95,000 miles).

Tribute 100
Tahoe Zero.

You're on the wrong thread. The topic is of the 2014 models. If you want to spew about your truck, start your own thread.

Now on to the news about the new models.
The SUVs will be body on frame and I think the frames are the same as what we see today, with possible updates here and there. The body's and interiors are all brand new. They are completely redesigned inside and out.
