So for people like me towing travel trailers without kids anymore the 1500 would be a fantastic tow vehicle with IRS and a couple size travel trailer. Yes technically the new Tahoe with MAX tow can just about out tow a Crew Cab Silverado 1500 and the Tahoe has IRS.

Modern trucks, especially GM trucks ride great though. They have had a great ride for years now so I'm not sure the argument that it will ride 1000 times better is valid because in all reality, it just won't.

Also, a Tahoe won't even come close to the max trailering of a half ton truck. You're talking about 11,900 pounds max for the Silverado vs 8200 for the Tahoe.
