I’ll bet that the Tahoe and Suburban sales will increase if GM puts the 6.2L and 8 speed drivetrain in them!
I agree, but that won’t happen until the expansion at Arlington is complete… at which point we will probably be on the next generation of these vehicles.
As it stands, they are currently heavily constrained across the Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade lines and sell every single unit that’s produced… so it would only make sense to make changes to the like and add the 6.2 and 8-speed if they can sell more of these SUVs, rather than selling the same amount while decreasing their own profitability, mostly since those components cost more.
In all, I’m waiting for the Arlington plant to finish the ongoing expansion to see the Tahoe and Burban see high content levels equivalent to the Yukon.
I believe that if GM could knock a few thousand off the base price of their full-size body-on-framers (Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL-Escalade/Escalade EXT, maybe even), and/or get an 8 or 10 speed into them, and maybe even a significantly updated, more powerful V-8, sales might shoot up 10’s of thousands.
GM makes healthy profits on these vehicles; I don’t see why they COULDN’T afford to lower the base prices on them for a change. After all, if base prices on any given “vehicle line” ONLY EVER go UP, sooner or later, YOU WILL PRICE YOUR VEHICLES RIGHT OUT OF THE MARKET!!!! People simply will not continue to pay ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS for the same vehicles year after year, especially if those vehicles don’t have ALL OF THE LATEST engine and transmission technology, at least.
Consumers have a TREMENDOUS AMOUNT of choices out there when it comes to SUV’s and Crossovers, even in the “midsize” and “fullsize” categories ALONE. Essentially, Luxury or “near-Luxury” buyers might look at a Lexus RX, LX, or GX. An Infiniti QX, FX (is that the current nomenclature?), an Acura MDX, several Mercedes Crossovers including GLS, the BMW X-5, X-3, X-6, the ENTIRE Land Rover lineup, the new Jaguar Crossover, the Nissan Armada and Pathfinder, the Toyota Sequioa, Land Cruiser and Highlander, the Dodge Durango, the Honda Pilot, the Audi Q-7 and Q-5, the Ford Expedition, Explorer and Edge, the Lincoln Navigator and MKX…….the list is almost endless.
GM needs to KEEP THIS IN MIND when setting base prices on their SUVs and Crossovers-ESPECIALLY if these SAME GM SUVs and Crossovers don’t have ALL OF THE BEST AND LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
