Another great review! Had a '14 Tahoe over the weekend, and put 500+ miles on driving through the mountains. Must say it is nice to see the Tahoe join the 21st century. Also nice to see the added cargo space. With 7 people, we were stuffing bags anywhere and everywhere. To answer your question, it drove just like you described. I will say the softer suspension is advantageous when driving through winding mountain roads, now on the DC Beltway, not so much.
