Can I request a review on a 1992 era cutlass supreme Oldsmobile 4 door V6 my mom brought it and she was a single mother and I'll appreciate your thoughts...
I LOVE when you review the older 80's 90's and 00's era cars. I'd love if you went out of your way to do more of them! You really represent them well being from that era yourself !
I saw this bizarre 80's Toyota the other day with a name I've never heard of and styling I've never seen. There must be dozens of those oddball 80s 90s 00s cars Id love to see you review.
love Doug's appreciation for 90s and early 2000's cars, the amazing nostalga but also the retro and cool designs, and having a simplistic, yet nostalgic interior with analog gauges and comfortable seats
I snagged a '94 two door Tahoe when i was 19 years old. Literally spent every dollar i had to get it, but i could not pass it up. I didn't even have enough money to out gas in it on the way home. $2100 keys in hand. 70k miles on the clock. That was 15 years ago. It had rust and imperfections (southeast Michigan here), but one thing i knew how to do was body work. My dads words when i brought it home "what a horrible decision financially. Well done! You're a grown up now". He helped me with the mechanics and i revived the body. Been flawless ever since. I guess it turned out to be a pretty good financial decision...the last guy that asked if I'd sell it, offered me $15k.
whoever had some savings little to no debt in the financial crisis had at his disposal some of the best deals in automotive history. Some cars had multiplied x10 their value ever since. U were in the right place in the right moment and u didn't hesitate i wish i had those chances back then but i was struggling like most people.
Having the HVAC fan and heater core visible below the dash is a feature, not a bug. Think how much easier it is to service those components without hours of dash disassembly.
My dad ordered a 1999 Chevy Tahoe brand new in '98 it was black with grey cloth interior those seats are the most comfortable seats ever it has around 245,000 miles and he is still driving it. the transmission was just rebuilt that original transmission lasted a long time. we went through about three fuel pumps and many other things but it is running strong with that 5.7L vortec. I love our Tahoe its crazy how reliable this thing is. one of the best chevy gmt400 ever. 😀
Mannnn I had a 2 door ‘95 Tahoe, I regret getting rid of that thing every damn day. But then I remember I got 10 mpg with it and I feel a little better lol
My dad had the Yukons and LOVED the barn doors. He used them for backing his boat and our jet skis down the ramp. The late 90s/00s version of a backup camera.
I had 2 Tahoe 2-door Sport models. Both black. One '95 and the other '99. Both had the Z71 off road package though they did not have any emblems or decals showing this. The RPO Z71 was on the sticker in the glove compartment. These vehicles were present for the best years of my life. I will have one again when I find the right one.
Fun fact, the front bumper is sourced from the 6.5 Turbo Diesel trucks and blazer. The fog lights reside in the air intake openings designed for the diesel.
My grandpa had a ‘99 Tahoe LT that had the same interior in gray. I got to drive it before we had to get rid of it; always loved that thing. Great video, brought back good memories.
Fun fact....this truck and the chassis was reinforced for govt and police use. It was meant for government and police use. But the conrract fell out. So they released this as a special 1 year only z71 very collectible. Grab one now
Yes!! I had a blue 2000 Z71 in 2008-9 and it was awesome! It felt unstoppable at the time, driving straight out of snowy ditches or flying across frozen lakes at 80 mph. I got rid of it when gas hit $4.xx a gallon because it only got like 12 mpg.
My father has had an ‘05 Z71 in Onyx black since new. Farm truck and now in retirement, but still with the family! I reminisce about the rear seat DVD player… Super cool truck with those wheels and body kit, hope to see the GMT800 on Doug’s channel one day.
my dad has a very similar 90s suburban that is very similar, just a different color and a little longer. It was out family, and off road car for a long time. Living on dirt roads (that quickly turn to mud when it rains) this thing saw more off roading than most jeeps every will. The 4x4 with front and rear locking differentials made it very capable. We've pulled so many people out of the mud with this thing. Never once did we ever get it stuck.
You are so right. I grew up in Denver, too, still live here. I LOVED Tahoe's when I was in High School in the mid 90's... They were so cool. That's always stuck with me. I've owned 4 as an adult, two of which were Z71's.
My parents got a 2005 Tahoe and they used it to tow a travel trailer. It served them well I don’t remember how many miles it had on it by the time 2015 came around but I think it was like 150,000 miles. They would have kept it longer if the electrical system didn’t give out. Good truck, many memories made in that vehicle
That was a really good era, I think they still look pretty damn good today specially if you put some tasteful aftermarket headlights and tail lights and maybe some newer OEM rims…. The engines and the transmissions were pretty robust unlike early to mid 2010’s. Of course, a lot of the tranny’s last well over 150k
@ they had it traded in for a 2016 ford expedition el, because I am child 3 of 4 and the seating in that Tahoe was getting a little too small for the family, so they shopped for a new full size SUV. Lots of papa’s pizzeria gameplay later (they had computer games at the dealership, at least one of them did) they landed on 2 different 2016 ford expedition el, one with a bench and one with a captains seats both from different dealers. The one that offered the biggest discount was the one with the captain seats, and my parents still own it, at 160,000 miles, it’s still going strong, aside from the massive dent in the left side of the bumper when a flatbed trailer jackknifed.
This was a very fun review and a trip down memory lane! I lived in south Texas in this era, and these were cool to see out and about. The only point that I will disagree on is Doug's assertion that CD players weren't common in cars during the 90s. They absolutely were everywhere - and some offered multi-disc changers. Not trying to stir the pot, just pointing out that they were very popular (my '97 Saturn SL1 had one!), and became increasingly popular as the decade wore on.
I can tell you from owning and driving both, the Tahoe with the 5.7 TBI, or better yet the Vortec 5.7 will perform much more effortlessly, especially when towing. No gear hunting either. With fuel mileage that is about the same. Toyota should have put the 4.7 V8 in all of the 4 runners and FJ Cruisers. And Tacomas. Horsepower is only part of the story. Torque under the curve is plentiful in a big push rod V8
@ckck5258 I have one in an FJ Cruiser right now. The 1GR-FE is definitely long lasting. That is really it's only redeeming quality though. Not efficient. Not quiet. Not particularly powerful for it's complexity and fuel consumption. I'd rather have an LS in it. A super charger may happen at some point.
@@ckck5258 As a 4runner owner, I have to admit GM's 5.7 is no slouch either when it comes to reliability. It's one of the reasons these trucks are still on the road 25 years later.
My dad had the next gen suburban when I was growing up. Bought it new in 03 when I was only 3 years old. No Z71. Just an LT 4x4. I miss it. Loved it growing up.
Somebody wrote this in 1905 or 1907, well very early 1900 anyway: "the automobile has today reached such perfection that no significant improvements are to be expected". I'm of the opinion that he was wrong.
As an older guy (69) I enjoy the lightly "auto anthropological" aspect to these reviews. Doug's efforts to place this vehicle historically and how far removed he appears from it lends it an air, a feeling similar to an archeologist unearthing a "chariot". For me fun and at the same time a reminder of how quickly things age
I had a 1999 GMC Yukon XL, then switched to the 2004 Yukon XL Denali. I still have a 2009 Yukon XL Denali that I bought new. Now with 95,000 miles on it. Still great. My Dad started buying SUV before the term. His first was the 1977 AMC Cherokee Chief. Was not a good car, but then he got a 1979 Chevy Suburban with the optional 40 gallon gas tank and rear AC unit. They should still offer the 40 gallon tank today, I would buy it. I should mention my Denali is a 6.2L V8.
True story though, GM had just converted to their new body style for pickups and SUVs. However, they still had inventory of unsold Tahoes. So they “upgraded” them to Z71 and sold them alongside Tahoes with the brand new body style. And people actually bought them. The differences aren’t too extreme. But the newer model is more rounded rather than squared. Has a more compact grill, rounded windows, and new door handles.
When I was little the dealership up the road had a green Tahoe z71 with the brush guard. Balloons on the antenna all that stuff. I loved that thing every time we drove by. My dad told me if it was still there when I was 16 he'd buy it for my first car. Felt good at the time. Now I realize he was just being funny.
As someone who had this as my first car a few years ago, it is so sick, even came with a factory brush guard. Most OBS people didn’t even know they existed
Up through the beginning of the 2010s, but really the end of the 00s was the absolute peak of ICE cars, and car enthusiast culture generally. I drove this very model of truck many a time -16 year old me was tasked with filling up my boss' mom vehicle at the gas station and getting lunch for the workers at the store.
@@damilolaakanni I didn’t catch him say that at the end, but even as an American, this Tahoe, is certainly not the truck to invent the offroad SUV like Doug kind of implies
I had a 1999, it was a basic LT with leather interior and a tailgate and lift glass, not the barn doors. It wasn't a z71. But i made my own version of one. I lifted it, put big tires on it, a locker in it, and i loved it. Nobody had lifted tahoes when i built it. I have a couple of short videos of it, and it's in my profile picture alongside my other tahoe. Yes, i had 2 at the same time lol. The videos aren't very good but they're relevant to the video
It was more like a shortened version of a Suburban than a 4dr blazer. As I’m watching this while detailing my GMT 400 k2500 7.4L suburban. Love the rare z71 Tahoe. I’m trying to save one from a Dollar General employee. That’s Hunter Green but she wants to paint it purple and lift it.😂😂😢😢🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
My family used to have a black 1998 Tahoe. It was our family vehicle for about ten years before we moved on to a 2010 Suburban. I miss that truck. It was supposed to be my first car but we had to sell it. I love these older GM trucks. Thank you Doug for bringing back happy memories of our old Tahoe
This is NOT a 2000 model, it might have been registered as such, but this is an 92-99 body style, the 2000 was completely re designed, the only part that was carried over for the next 2 years was the steering wheel. The front floor mounted cupholders is NOT factory, it is after market (the color of the plastic shows). Otherwise it is a great review, as allways.
Your right about those cd players. I would record over my moms old cassette tapes, so i could have tunes when i got my permit. I was 12 also it made sense back then!
Doug has a beard! I remember watching you in like 2016 lol they grow up so fast 😂 all jokes aside I’m glad you still make basically the same stuff you did way back then
I have always wanted a 2 door Tahoe, Z71 with a 454 under the hood. Oh well, I'll just have to put up with my twenty twenty custom trail boss.That will have to be as close as I can.Get
My favorite Tahoe generation. These designs actually aged well and look way better than the majority of vehicles currently on the road. Old school has always been better.
A friend of mine had one of these in high school. It was very worn and old (obviously old) but before he junked it we took it to a parking lot in the snow and did dumb high schooler stuff then we crashed into a light pole. Good times, good times.
12:15 missed quirk. If you actually put a drink in the cupholder it blocks the vent so it no longer cools you down, it cools your drink down. Can be a pro or con depending how you look at it.
The clipboard would also hold Trip-tiks from AAA. Not sure if that was on purpose, but before gps, trip ties was a great way to navigate on a long trip.
When reviewing this body on frame 4x4 doug should drive them off road at least on some uneven terrain to see the body articulation. The drove wallowy and rear axle was bouncy but that was the tradeoff to have a sturdy undercarriage for heavy haul and offroad use.
Go bid on THIS! Tahoe Z71 HERE! crsnbds.com/tahoe-z71

Doug and I are the same age. I remember everyone getting one of these or SUV's in similar proportions. They were everywhere in Southern Ontario
As someone who had this as my first car a few years ago, it is so sick, even came with a factory brush guard. Most OBS people didn’t even know they existed

Z71 did not start w the 2000 Tahoe. I had the option on my 1999 Chevy pick up.
This isn't even a 2000 Tahoe. The 2000 model year was more rounded (especially on the front end).
I had a 1999, it was a basic LT with leather interior and a tailgate and lift glass, not the barn doors.

Doug has a beard! I remember watching you in like 2016 lol they grow up so fast 😂 all jokes aside I’m glad you still make basically the same stuff you did way back then
Always love this body style Tahoe! I remember when the Z71 came out.
GMT400 🤤
A style you simply cant hate. It was the truck of the 90s
I have always wanted a 2 door Tahoe, Z71 with a 454 under the hood. Oh well, I'll just have to put up with my twenty twenty custom trail boss.That will have to be as close as I can.Get
My favorite Tahoe generation. These designs actually aged well and look way better than the majority of vehicles currently on the road. Old school has always been better.
my dad had a black one and we traveled everywhere in it! mexico, canada, california, boston. he built a custom 3rd row in it too.
I used to have one of these well.I had a ninety eight I missed that tahoe a lot of good memories
I loved mines years ago I was only 19 same color but I had the brush guard on the front ❤
Was 2000 a partial model year? A the new generation GMT800 Tahoe came out for 2000 also.
A friend of mine had one of these in high school. It was very worn and old (obviously old) but before he junked it we took it to a parking lot in the snow and did dumb high schooler stuff then we crashed into a light pole. Good times, good times.
I hate torsion bars and leaf springs, but I love this generation Tahoe.
12:15 missed quirk. If you actually put a drink in the cupholder it blocks the vent so it no longer cools you down, it cools your drink down. Can be a pro or con depending how you look at it.
The clipboard would also hold Trip-tiks from AAA. Not sure if that was on purpose, but before gps, trip ties was a great way to navigate on a long trip.
given the wear on the interior, whoever detailed this thing did an amazing job.
Can you do the 2006 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab next??.
Doug the type of guy to link to a lambo in his description
I had a black 2003 z71 and I loved it so much . I wish I hadn't traded it in!
Bought a '97 new, and yes, it rode like an locomotive, and got 12 mpg. It replaced a '95 S-10 Blazer.
When reviewing this body on frame 4x4 doug should drive them off road at least on some uneven terrain to see the body articulation.
The drove wallowy and rear axle was bouncy but that was the tradeoff to have a sturdy undercarriage for heavy haul and offroad use.
Doug the type of guy to grow a beard just to call himself a Mountain Man!!💯👌
It looks way better with front bull bar
yup. i'd buy one if i bought this
Doug, we love you Doug
This has to have been peak suv. I love the boxy tough look
Doug the type of guy that ask the drive trough cashier if his nuggets are cage free .❤
Ah, thanks for finding one, Doug - always wanted one of these as a kid, lol!
JD seems like a normal dude I'd meet in a bar and buy a beer lol, love this man
30 min after video is published, the Tahoe is still having only 1 bid of $1,000 on the website... strange
I drive a 2007 Tahoe, and it’s one reliable beast
I’m shocked you haven’t reviewed a second gen ram yet. One of the most transformational vehicles in the truck industry in the modern era.
Doug, your forgot to mention how the second row will fold down and you can sleep in the back of the Tahoe for camping.
Just had to let go of my 02 Tahoe because of a crash. Feels bad, it only had 120k miles, and never had any problems.
