Best Full-Size SUV: Testing 4 of the Biggest On Sale Today
Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.
Car hire services, ranch owners, extraordinarily large families, and those who tow small mountains pay attention—this comparison is for you.
We gathered four of the best large, body-on-frame SUVs currently on sale. These big sport utilities excel in hauling people, cargo, and sizable trailers. But more than that, the higher-end models are crammed full of luxury, technology, and comfort.
Managing editor Mike Schlee, freelance writer and photographer Jeff Wilson, and myself spent the week driving all four of this big-boned bruisers. At the end of the week, we were all in agreement about which SUV was best, but there were some surprises elsewhere in the ranks. Read on for the full story.
Chevrolet Tahoe vs GMC Yukon: Which of These Full-Size GM SUVs is the Better Buy?
Full-size SUVs fill a specific niche in today’s automotive marketplace. They’re designed to appeal to drivers who need the towing of a pickup truck but want a vehicle with three rows of seating and a fully enclosed cargo area.
Two of the best-known models in the full-size SUV class are the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, a pair of General Motors models that, like all of their competitors, share their basic underpinnings with pickup trucks – in this case, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The Tahoe and Yukon compete directly with a few other pickup truck-based SUVs: one is the Ford Expedition, which shares its platform with the F-150 pickup; another is the Toyota Sequoia, which Toyota builds on the same underpinnings as the Tundra; and finally, the Nissan Armada, a relative of the Titan pickup.
