Maybe I'm just biased, .....
Look at how svelte that vehicle is.
I'm sure the Tahoe is nice inside. Probably has a glovebox pop dispenser.

They are both nice rides, but seriously, No contest on Character.

I remember when the GW was a "Full Size" suv, now look at the size.

I sold my tricked out 99 Yukon so I could buy a GW.

Yeah its amazing how small an FSJ looks next to current late model vehicles. Crash test standards and such have made vehicles grow a lot. Now a current sub-compact (Fiesta for instance) is bigger than an 80's mid-size sedan (Accord). Hell even a Wrangler Unlimited dwarfs an FSJ in width, length, and weight.
The Waggy certainly has more character though

Yeah, the GWs look smaller compared to a Yukon, but I'm not convinced the interior space is that much less. There's so much bubbly plastic bulk in those Yukons that it seems like space is wasted, whereas the GW is afforded every extra bit of space possible. Maybe I'll try to measure it out one day, but I feel like I can haul as much as I can in the GW as in the Yukon.

I'm into Function, Boyz!!
Yeah, the Tahoe is bigg in the rear end for similar sized folks. But, Boyz the FSJ has the extended hood, maybe a foot longer! More under the Hood! Size matter's in this department, at least here in the South. That's right, at least a a foot longer, girlz don't move North for a reason! Ya know!
