No.. Looks different which is kind of cool, but not practical in the least..

Counter-productive to the thinking of getting in an SUV.. SUV=more people, second and sometimes third row for them.. a two door would be a PITA I'd think.. Props to being bored and thinking outside the box

I was about to say "is this an attempt at a 2 door tahoe/blazer?". We had a blazer growing up and that thing was a tank. I always liked the Bronco's as well.

Actully it was just a prototype. I believe the last ones they actually produced was the 1999 Tahoe.

I have a 99 Z71 2 door 4x4 and I love it!
Wish they make a new one in the future...
no one with a suv takes 7 passengers with them anywhere so that post abaut it not being practical is bull. the 2 door weighs less therefore using less gas to move it and also making it faster than any 4 door. Its shorter and easier to drive. Oh yeah and my back seats fold down and it has enough room in the back to through stuff in like a pick up truck. Just wish the top could come off like the K5.
People buy Hummers, Tahoes, Suburbans, Escalades, Fordasourusus (excursions), and Navigators just to have big trucks, not to carry a bunch of people from point a to point b.
