Resale value only counts if you plan on selling it or if it was an expensive car in the first place

Slightly off the off topic stuff:
Almost all the posts (I see) you make are about how your tahoe is better than someone elses. Its not really a race, we try to work together to make our cars better, not berate somebody on their choice of a vehicle.

For example:

My 95 astro could get 22 on the highway and 24 in town in "v6" mode (stock form). I've bought 20 ft boards and put them in the van. I could close the hatch in the back with 4x8 sheets of plywood and 10 ft boards inside as well. 5500 lb towing capacity on top of that. Paid $500 and spent about 100 in heater core and master cylinder to fix it.

Interestingly enough my 95 mercury could easily fit a 12' board inside and seats 5 (the same or only 1 less than say.... an 08 hybrid tahoe). Paid $750 ran and drove fine.

Expensive battery? Your replacement is ~$2500.
Mine is at most (top of the line kind of price) $250

If you want to sit here and clog up a thread with why a car is worse than another you should probably just start your own thread and debate it there.

P.S. If you didn't notice, this post's value wasn't worth the effort reading it.
