Tahoe vs Q7 - which is a better tow vehicle?
Yes, I expect Tahoe to win this competition, but here are some comparison numbers: - Length: 204-inch vs 199.6-inch - Width: 80.5-inch vs 77.5-inch - Height: 74.4-inch vs 68.5-inch. - Wheelbase:...

Sounds like you want more car than TV, but here are some questions you
should answer in order to make the decision
The Q7 is a PL71 platform basis for: Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg
It is a monocoque vs unibody on frame of the GM
How long do you plan on keep this vehicle? Because if a long time and
plan to serious offroad, unibody on frame is my preference (most serious
offroaders too). Because the spotwelds and sheetmetal joints will over
time stress fracture to squeak/rattle
If a pavement car/SUV/CUV, then monocoque is fine...but if driven hard
and kept a looong time...not something I'd recommend either
If more TV performance, then what trailer do you plan? and where do
you plan to tow it?
How do your drive on pavement and off road? How well do you know HOW2
DIY out in the boonies? Define boonies, as my secret place in the Idaho
Panhandle is around 3 days from the nearest pavement. Crawling at a
max of 15MPH and average of 5MPH
Are you willing to scratch your offroader along its side from the headlamp
to the tail lamp? Run up a boulder and drop down the other side of it
and bang the underbelly of your vehicle? That is serious offroading...
Based on your questions...I'd say get the car... :)
