| We finally get our first previews of the new GMT 900 platform that will underpin the next generation of Full size Sport Utility Vehicles from General Motors. |  |
| This is an important release for GM as the GMT 900 accounts for almost 750,000 sales as the Chevrolets Tahoe and Suburban, the Cadillac Escalade, and the GMC Yukon. They represent about 60% of the market. |
 | Virtually every part of the vehicle has been refined and improved. There are now a handful of engines ranging from 290 to 400 horsepower. Some |
| of these engines even include the new Displacement on Demand system to help fuel economy during cruising and idling. The frame is stiffer, fully boxed, features a hydroformed front section, and has 49% better torsional rigidity. The suspension has been improved with coil over shocks in the front and a new rack and pinion steering setup that makes the vehicles more sure-footed both on and off-road |
| The interior materials are of a higher quality than anything ever used in a GM Truck, feel more upscale, have tighter panel fit, and help to lower Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) levels. |  |
Not to be overshadowed are the innovative safety systems that will be included with every vehicle. The Stabilitrack stability control system, OnStar in vehicle communications and diagnostic system, Anti Lock Brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system will all be standard equipment. We hope to be taking delivery of these vehicles soon, please keep in touch with us if you have any questions or to schedule your own first look. |
