Out of curiosity, do you honestly believe that a Tahoe will handle as well as an X5 in an emergency maneuver?

P.S. I went and checked the Consumer Reports test results:

X5 Emergency handling rating: Above Average. (53.0 mph)
Tahoe Emergency handling rating: Below Average. (46.5 mph)

Braking distance from 60 mph:

X5: 130 ft (dry) 142 ft (wet)
Tahoe: 144 ft (dry) 168 ft (wet)

Etc.

Yes.

It will.

A car does not make a driver a good driver.

It is up to the driver to know what to do and how to do in an emergency maneuver.

If you are putting yourself in such an emergency situation, you are not driving right.

The only exception to that rule is braking and mass.
Chevy Tahoe being a much heavier vehicle than the X5 (about 800lb heavier) will take longer time to come to a stop or slow down the car (about 10ft longer in 60-0 mph braking), the Tahoe owner should know this and drive his car accordingly.

Not according to the Consumer Reports tests on a test course with electronic measurement of the performance parameters.


How did you do your comparison?

You have lost your mind haha. This is good stuff. So, now you are backtracking your statement. I'm heading home now---I will make sure to practice how to do an emergency manuever.

I don't have a dog in this fight but by acknowledging an exception
to that rule ie braking mass, and weight you have contradicted yourself.

Saying that the Tahoe owner should know this and drive his car
accordingly also acknowledges that there are differences in both
vehicles, one being more responsive than the other.
