   Sure. The Tahoe is a foot or so shorter than a Suburban/XL and probably   
   has bad shocks on rear coil springs. The Yukon, if it is an XL, is leaf   
   sprung or the same as a Suburban. The extra weight of that 'foot or so'   
   gives the Suburban a better feel to the ride quality. But I'd buy a Tahoe   
   over a Suburban or XL any day. On some concrete paved roads, the longer   
   wheel based Surburban will tend to 'hop' over the road joints, while the   
   Tahoe with the shorter wheelbase won't.
