I like the old Tahoe a lot better as far as looks. The LS series motors like the 6.2 are pretty damn good mills, tough to take that away from GM. Ford sort of followed suit and scaled up GM’s modern pushrod V8 architecture when they made the new 7.3L V8 for the Super Duty, some similarities. The 7.3 utilizes a longer stroke (like the old 5.4 Triton and 5.8 Trinity) to make low end torque. This is where it differs from engines like the 5.0 or 6.2 with their respective short strokes that love to rev. Naturally aspirated is not synonymous with lacking low end torque..... As far as the comment on the chevy feeling more sluggish I have a theory— weight is up from 2020 models. I’ve read GM has added several hundred pounds in curb weight making a longer truck. They’ve chopped it up a bit with the new L87 too....there is a higher hp/torque version with 470 lb ft if you get the performance upgrade pack on the Silverado pickups, not sure why they wouldn’t make that standard on already pricey trucks or if it’s even offered on Tahoe.
