Has me considering one over the Suburban. Unlikely, but a thought.

What do you call three Fords and a Chevy?

Odd that Ford hasn't figured this segment out, since they dominate the mid-size segment with the Explorer. They don't need a diesel- they need to best Cadillac's 425hp V8... in a package that makes a similar statement the Escalade does. Like the big GM's or not... they do have presence. |

Before I bought the Yukon Denali, I test drove the explorer and last model expedition, the turbo was laggy and the seats were short, flat, and unsupportive. The damn Tahoes, Yukons, and Escalades are stupid expensive but there's nothing else on the market quite like them. But the 5.3L was insufficient in the Tahoe for that kind of money. I will say my service experience has been so poor with the Yukon I'm really beginning to open up to the thought of a foreign car for my next new car. |

This is different from the GM line, where a 3500 pretty much means duals. Not true in Ford. The serious haulers in Fordland go with the F450. Rated to tow 32,500. |

The factory tow rating means exactly that- it is within the constraints of the chassis capabilities. Those tow ratings carry some serious legal implications, so they are- if anything- on the conservative side. That's a very serious (and expensive) tow vehicle.

You do know that they perform those tests with basically stacked plate steel right? Big difference between a 30' gooseneck with double tandem axles and about 18" of steel plate on it and a 52' enclosed 3 car stacker trailer, even if they weigh the same.
