I can't totally agree with that. GM made huge improvements in the Tahoe's interior for 2007...the difference was like night and day, though, of course, the new ones are even better.
I would call the Tahoe and Yukon at the time last in the segement that is for sure. The Tahoe looked like they pulled the interior directly from the Chevrolet Imapla and Buick Lucerne at the time, sad as the Impala has been a rental car type model for years.

Let's not get too far off-topic, BTW, into GM and Toyota vehicles. The main question up for discussion is should Dodge introduce a true full-size body-on-frame SUV to compete with other similar American-badged competitors? Given the growing market for these vehicles here, I think it's a valid option....something that Dodge and Chrysler have ducked for some time.

What concerns me is that Sergio Marchionne doesn't even want to hold onto the corporation in the long run. He has been looking for a buyer for the whole FCA corporation several years now....not just for Chrysler.

Like I mentioned already, Explorer, Trailblazer, Durango, Commander, FJ Cruiser, and KIA Boreggo
have all either been discontinued or moved over to a cross over type model. Better than the poor idea of making a body on frame full size vehicle. Chrysler should make a large cross over (think GL or bigger) that would be appeal to full size body on frame owners to perhaps ditch the BOF vehicles and move to the large cross over. Chrysler should try to be first to the segment within American brands. This would be an idea that I could fully support.

Not just that, it also won a recent Motor Trend comparison versus the RR, GL, and LX

From what I've read, It rides too stiffly for some people, mechanical reliability has been worse than average (even apart from the CUE system), and recent versions, along with its sisters Suburban/Tahoe and Yukon have has complaints about drumming noises at road-speeds from the way the roof sheet-metal is designed and flexes.
Depends on how one uses it. It couldn't touch a RR off-road.
