I don’t understand why @truck451 comment is laughable enough to post a video. I agree with a lot of what @truck451 is saying.
Diesels:
Diesel engines should be available in the new Suburbans and Tahoes. I have a neighbor who bought a Suburban new in 94 because he needed the room for his kids. Once a month, he drives three hours one way to a cabin he owns up north and comes back with a 18′ trailer loaded with wood. His job is one town south of where he lives and ends up putting between 250-300 miles on his Suburban every week just going to work. He claims he can get 25 mpg out of that 6.5 diesel. When it came time for him to buy another rig he ended up going with a 15 year old ‘burb because he couldn’t find what he needed new.
Two doors:
I don’t have much of an argument for a revival of the full size Blazer other than the fact that k5s still have a huge following that rivals that of the Jeep Wrangler. Plus two doors always look better than four doors and make a more appealing platform for a performance/sport truck. (I.E. that Lingenfelter Silverado from a few months ago)
B-bodies:
While I agree the unibody trumps body-on-frame construction, I must disagree about the poor fuel economy statement. I averaged 22-23 mpg with the LT1 powered ’94 Caprice wagon I had. I can not consider that poor economy by any means.
