That could be true if comparing to "most popularly equipped model" (Trim Level 3LT, with Nav, Back Up Camera, trailering pkg, and power liftgate $46,900. Power liftgate not available on Hybrid) as opposed to base model. The base model Tahoe ($34,630) is significantly less expensive, but rarely ordered.

But then they would have to use the same "most popularly ordered" scheme for all the other vehicles, so there might be other shifts in order.

Peace,
