If I were speculate, I bet it has to do with power, weight and cost...
The Tahoe I believe has a higher profit margin then the Suburban allowing for the "novelty" hybrid full size SUV. I could be totally off base but I suspect they all tie in...
Thou as to the origin of this post I too would like to hear more feed back from owners

Well Shark, My 07 would go into 4cyl mode on highway, has to be under like 25% load though. Therefore down hill, steepness of the hill depends on speeds and head wind I'd say.
Picking up my 2011 Ltz tomorrow, can't wait for the 6speed trans and the autoride suspension.
Was thinking of buying a hybrid but you loose out on the power liftgate (Just love how you can put it down and its sucks itself closed), autoride, roofrack and opening rear glass and still same cost at the loaded LTZ. Which I guess makes sense why the Denai Hybrid is 7 grand more than the Tahoe, has the other options still.

VRSO2, they do make the sub in Hybird. Was speaking a person, his company has 6 of them. Now he say his gauge on the hiway say 38 mpg. I have to say that is an average. I had a chance to speak a person also driving a Tahoe. I ask him what he was getting in town. His response was shxxty. I ask what the # was. 18. We all know, what the they say. -2. That is not bad.

Just think what the possibilities could be for an electric vehicle if we had been working on the technology for the past 90 years!
