from what i've read Pat, that 6.2 was only offered in the '07+ Yukon Denali & Denali XL (commonly known as a GM's 'Burb), but never the Tahoe/Suburban. kinda stupid if you ask me.

The 3/4 ton has a towing capacity of 9,600 lbs, matched only by Toyota's Sequoia capacity. it also has a GCVW of 16,000 lbs.

Yea me too. There are quite a few here. The Chevy guys have a new one stripped down ready for RHD conversion.

Not sure if I really want a 1/2 car 1/2 pick up though.

There is 2nd hand one on sale for around $76k 2002 I think.

surre you could.

the MSRP on an Escalade ESV is $88,60 up here. doubt you're gonna get more than 7K-10 @ the most off the MSRP.

you don't even want to know what Ken paid for his Blazer when he got it.

Killer interior yes... and if the ride of a tahoe is dreamy, then so is the caddy which is the same truck, different fascia.
