It's blended on the Tahoe.  The Yukon XL is no longer my daughter's and her
mother has the Suburban because her mother's Chevy broke down, but I'm
pretty sure the doors on both were straight at the rear. 

Something about the starter on her mother's car overheating and my ex told
me it was going to cost her $500 to fix it.  That Chevy has been sitting
for over a year now and I'm almost sure the engine isn't going to be
functional when and IF she has it repaired.  I'm naturally skeptical of
anything my ex tells me about anything.  She is no longer the same woman.

I had a '84 C-20 with saddle tanks, so naturally I became a part of that
class-action lawsuit.  I wasn't even given the choice to opt out.  While
the lawyers in the suit got (not doubt) hefty pay checks from the
settlement, I received, and this is no joke, a certificate worth $200
toward the purchase of a new truck with an expiration date!  I burned it.
