New SUV/truck stops slightly shorter than older SUV/truck...of which there are still plenty on the road...

Since the mid-nineties, we've tested 50 members of GM's large SUV family, which includes the Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon. In 1999, we recorded a 248-foot stop from 70 mph in a Tahoe. That's public menace territory by today's standards. We even recorded an over-200-foot result in a 2016 Cadillac Escalade. As of mid-December 2020, we've tested six members of the newest generation of that family (we doubled up on Escalade and Tahoe). They're larger and heavier than the trucks that came before, but all of them stopped in 184 feet or less. The best of the bunch, a 2021 Suburban High Country, only needed 166 feet of runway to do the job. That's better than all kinds of smaller, nimbler cars, including a Mazda 3 we recently tested, and it's only six feet off the mark set by an Audi RS6 Avant.
