Second of all, in regular rainy days (where it is safe to do 50mph), while doing 50mph you can make an emergency maneuver in a Tahoe just the same way you can in an X5. Both cars will perform as intended without any difference. You will not lose control in both cars.
So, you are now changing my words to "heavy" rain. Why don't you just say I said a tornado, too ? Drivers in a normal rain, 50 mph, on a highway--happens all the time, everyday, in America. And when a car swirves in your lane the Tahoe will probably flip--wet or dry. So, a 7,000 lb Tahoe, that's taller and does not have 50/50 weight distribution like the X5 has the same handling characteristics as an X5--do you really believe that ?
