Fair enough, but regardless, the new Tahoe's hitch is higher than mine. As an engineer all I can say is that backward and forward compatability should always be a consideration, if you desire to satisfy your existing customer base when you introduce new products.
Sometimes it is not possible to maintain that compatability-- when I make that choice as an engineer or product developer, then I must also accept the consequences of that decision. Simply by making this design decision, GM is conceding that my current set-up does not matter to them.
Perhaps the entire auto industry will move to this higher hitch. If not, then there are other manufacturers whose vehicle will meet my current set-up, even if GM is not willing to do so.
As I said, it's not a concern for me right now, but it might be in the future. At that time, I will go with whatever vehicle meets my needs.
