You people continue to amaze me. You complain when GM puts out a system that gets 20 mpg, in the city, on a vehicle that weighs almost 3 tons. We all can't drive 50 mpg spam cans, or want to. Heck, a Tahoe would take the place of 3 vehicles in my yard: the minivan that holds 7 people, the Trooper I use to tow my boat and camper, and my wife's Explorer that barely ekes out 17 mpg.
But see, you are one of the rare people who would actually use such a vehicle properly and the way it was intended. I can't speak for the rest of the US, but out here in California, most of those vehicles are just bought for they status they claim to bring. 98% of the time they are used a commuter vehicles hauling 1 idiot to and from work. Rare is the truck that is actually used a truck to haul or tow stuff.
