Will EVs kill the aftermarket? Anyone going to develop upgraded motors? I don't know. EVs might kill the aftermarket and maybe racing at the same time.

You actually watched Formula E? I know I probably sound like a dinosaur but I can't get behind it. The sport is already struggling.

GM rumored to offer dealer-installed supercharger for full size SUVs.

Rumor was shot down.

God forbid GM do anything too exciting.

I happened on a race on TV while at the airport. Did not really watch it. I do not watch any auto racing at all

Was just saying.

And for those freaking out why I want IRS; an IRS in a 1500 can easily handle its payload rating and the ride will be 1000s time better.

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.
