2022 Chevrolet Tahoe – The SUV Has Definitely Got Worse

There were times when cars were made by real engineers, not marketers. This is what fans of older models like to say, welding or filling in another hole in the body. Although, it must be admitted that the metal in many old cars is indeed thicker. As a canonical example, we can cite the GAZ Pobeda - its body is strong. The first Volga was also not bad, but noticeably inferior. However, AvtoVAZ quickly corrected this misunderstanding, creating its cars using Italian technology. The Zhiguli rotted perfectly, bequeathing this to the domestic auto industry for decades.

Japanese and Korean cars are also not far behind in this regard. Apparently, that's why they are considered the most reliable, that they safely manage to rot before the engine orders a long life. But American SUVs stand out in this regard. Although their bodies do not differ in corrosion resistance, the metal there is thick. And if you consider that in the classics from the USA there is also a frame structure, then you get a real armored personnel carrier. That's just "die out" American SUVs gradually. Such a variety of models, as it was before, is no longer found. Some turn into low-volume crossovers, losing V6s and V8s along the way along with their frames. And how one of the pillars of the class, the Chevrolet Tahoe, has changed, the author of the Club Service channel will show you.
