Sorry, but I got a tough time believing a 6000+lb Tahoe outhandles and out brakes ANY MB other than maybe a Unimog. Unless the laws of physics have been repealed or your 123 is in real tough shape suspension wise it ain't gonna happen. Oh yeah, and what about a rollover? Since a Tahoe is a truck it doesn't have to comply with the car rollover standards. Driving around in a giant unsafe vehicle that makes you "feel" safe is ludicrous. Its called being part of the problem, not part of the solution. RT
