End of an era, good bye solid axle, hello independent rear suspension. At least GM is bringing diesel back.

Looks like the SUV is dead and the tall station wagon is returning.

Looks like the Expedition.

I think it looks fantastic, and I believe buyers will appreciate the additional interior space.

Looks like the Expedition.

Hopefully it will tow like one too.
Last we looked, a burb would pull 6500, and the expedition was 9200.

Isn't air suspension one of those things that is great for the first owner (who is under warranty) and a nightmare for all the subsequent owners?

Yep. But, luckily it's an option. Not sure if it's optional on all trims or if at a certain point air bags are standard. An AT4 version with a diesel and coils springs sounds okay to me.

I'm okay with IRS for this application. End of an era for sure though.

I'm sure I'm not the only veteran LOL'ing at the name of the "AT-4" edition:

So how many AT-4's are included in the AT-4 package? ❓

Doesn't it say you can't get the diesel with the AT4 package though?

No clue. You can get the diesel in the Sierra AT4 though. Either way, I'm sure with those options it'll be a 70K SUV. So, I'm not really the target market. I bought my F150 as a 1.5 year old used truck with 21,000 miles on it for half that.

According to what I've read, no diesel with the AT4. Same as the new Z71Tahoe not getting the diesel. Not sure why as there hasn't been any reason given that I've found yet.

From what I read on gmauthority. The Z71/AT4 can't have the diesel due to "packaging issues" AKA front skid plate blocks intercooler

Makes pretty good sense by that logic.
