- This 2022 Tahoe has the 6.2L V8 (We had the smaller engine on our last Tahoe review) and allows us to discuss the best and worst of this uniquely American SUV segment. Join us as we debate what works, what fails, and how this truck shields you from the world.

Thanks for watching!
I'm watching this at home, and my dad messaged me saying he has a long, boring layover on his plane trip. I sent this to him, that way we can "watch it together" still! The best way to watch Everyday Driver is together with the fam 👌
I’ve owned the z71 5.3 Tahoe for 4 months now. Love it. The push button transmission selector is funky at first but you forget about it really quick. The push-button transmission goes back to the 50’s not a new thing in the car world. The storage pocket works perfectly for my wife’s Ray-Bans. The inside has a soft lining and fits all our sunglasses. The pocket was one thing I originally didn’t like but now I’m glad it’s there. MPG does suck. In our 5.3 we average just over 14 MPG.
Same as any other high displacement suv lol
Yes, a few cars had them in the 50's and they went away for a reason.
I have the 5.3 as well. Love it. And yes the pocket is meant for sunglasses, pocket knives etc... i find it super useful.
I've only had mine for a couple months now but I really like it! The "pocket of stupidity" I can live with... in fact, the first thing I did was put my sunglasses there. But I really do not like the manual shifting buttons. I drive a lot in the mountains and I use them a lot... paddles would be so much better.
i grew up in the back (and 3rd row) of a suburban. Glad you guys are covering the modern ones.
$72k... lol. Our economy is so jacked it's unreal. I also bet that there is some massive-massive margins for chevy with this thing.
Given how old that platform is and how little they probably invest in research, yeah.
@@MLHunt you’re both so wrong lol 😂 they just went through a pandemic and amid a chip shortage. Their profits aren’t exactly peaking at the moment. So much GM hate it is so weird. 🤦🏽♂️
@@MLHunt How little GM invest in research so that Ford can model their own semi autonomous driving system after GM’s Super Cruise, even risk getting sued for calling it “Blue Cruise”. Lol 🤦🏽♂️ How RAM and Jeep have rear view mirror technology for the first time in 2022 after GM has been offering it since bread was baked. For someone who probably doesn’t invest much in technology they sure are pioneering a lot. They at least are innovative with every redesign. Again, lots of GM hate. Are y’all ok?
@@mybro727 GM is great and all, just wish they didn't sack saab or the Saturn Sky
@@mybro727 exactly! Lets not forget to mention that GM has their ultium platform for their electric vehicles. And has other legacy manufacturers like Honda using it for their future electric vehicles because they're so behind on development
The "Pocket Of Stupidity" is for your registration and insurance cards . . so you won't have to dig through the glove compartment debris to replace your insurance card every six months - a GREAT idea.
The pocket is for eyeglasses/sunglasses... it is lined with a velvety texture so as to not scratch your lenses. i love it! It is big enough to put full-size nice sunglasses.
Howls moving castle.... I've always liked this show, now I like it a little more.
I own the 2022 High Country, and I LOVE it.
We have a 22 Yukon SLT, with the basic suspension and it rides just fine with 20" wheels. The seats could be better. The SLE/LS cloth seats are more comfortable, than our SLT leather by far.
I’ll keep my 05’ Z71. I put a in modern sound system , nicer wheels and tires and de-badged all the ugly lettering. Looks great , parts are cheap and the gas mileage is better than this 2022!
I have an ‘04 Suburban with 193k miles and it’s still running strong and shifting smooth. Just put in a new radiator for $500 OTD. These new Chevys are overpriced and not built to last. I’ll hang on to mine for as long as I can.
The seats are better in High Country trim guys. You have middle of the road seats because the trim with the Z71 is exactly that. Middle of the road.
The only difference from what I can see if maybe the leather and the design. The actual shape of the seat is the exact same
Lol. Pocket of stupidity. There must have been some other buttons they could have put there for some symmetry
It’s a lot of metal, glass and plastic to haul around 3-400 pounds of people and cargo that could easily be done in a vehicle that weighs 2500 lbs less but, this is Merica, so, knock yourself out. Just don’t try to corner in this thing, bus level handling with the intrusive skid control and top heavy structure.
3.0 diesel almost 30 mpg , that’s dam good for a big SUV
I like body on frame vehicles for how they drive and how long they last
How much more does one have to spend to get adaptive cruise, heated seats and probably HUD. Not right
OMG, the Tahoe is not a tank, it's no wider than a Silverado & the wheelbase is smaller
“TUB’O’SODA”😂😂😂
HI…. Great review…… I like the Color, but you didn’t say what the Color is…. Is it dark ash or midnight blue? Whatever it is, it looks nice in bright sunshine…. Regards…. Ron
Great video, with a better title.
It is inexpensive when you compare to BMW X5 or Mercedes GLe pricing. For similar price you are getting a true three row vehicle, with better reliability and size, better towing, amd all around access to any ache y dealer across this vast land without any douchebag stigma attached to over complex Mercedes and BMW. It is why they don’t lose price.
I like the way it looks but there are 2 reasons I'd get an Expedition (or a Jeep Wagoneer) instead...
1. The new Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade literally have the worst reliability ratings of anything in it's class.
2. No adaptive cruise control in any model other than the top trim. I could spend $10,000 less on an Expedition (or a Jeep Wagoneer Series 1) and still get adaptive cruise control.
do like the new wagoneer id just get a base series 1 4x4 opt tow package gets 3.92 axel ratio locking rear dif
Jeeps have horrible reliability as well. They’re Chrysler/Fiat products and are not meant to last, they’re meant for moms to make other moms jealous.
I haven't seen you review this, so I'll ask. Have you done a test on a rear-wheel-drive Tahoe or Suburban? Can this rear-wheel-drive vehicle get the air ride suspension, etc? Does this improve fuel economy?
You have to have all-wheel drive for air ride suspension, if you're worried about fuel economy by the diesel engine.
no opt to delate the 3rd row for us off roaders overlanders and car campers who have no need or want a 3rd row we want payload towing
I hate, hate, HATE those push button shifters. We are always told by engineers that this "Saves Room", yea, saves room for more cup holders! If you take out all the seats that will make more room also.
Todd really made a Studio Ghibli reference, am I'm the only nerd here?
Yea that front dashboard is such a letdown. I hope the refresh fixes that.
Paul is the man 💜 💜 💜
Cruisin in the interstate without crusie control option 🤪
I didn't like the change in stance of the 21/22 models of Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Escalade. They look too narrow with an overall height increase. I know they went to dual rear independent suspension, but our 2020 Escalade Sport looks way better. And the wheel choices are complete feces.
Agreed.
The new sequoia is still body on frame just like the tundra is. Same engine, same drivetain.
2023 sequoia the only one with a solid rear axel ,rest have independent rear axel
The 2023 sequoia botched the cargo design and capacity.
The new Sequoia has third row legroom comparable to the Highlander
Damn 72 000$! It's 122 000$ in Russia
Mine gets 18.5-20.1 most of the time.
🔥🔥🔥
Meh…. No thnx on spending $70+k on Domestic. I spent lil more and got a MB GLS. 🤷🏻♂️
Greater than > Less than < 😂😂
Hate the trans crap.. what was wrong with the shifter behind the steer wheel
Imagine shoving some trim down the middle between the seats and accidentally taping a reverse button, you could theoretically run yourself over. Column shifter is the way to go.
You have push the brake to shift
🤣🤣 You tap for park and neutral, You pull for reverse and drive.
Trust GM engineers Thought about it for dummies like you
70k + for a chevvy. hard pass.
What do you drive?
don't forget to mention the gas mileage 😂. this should have came with the diesel absolute bullshit that they didn't put it in one
An absolute waste of money for average Americans. Paying that much for a domestic brand is ridiculous. This manufacturer doesn’t support that price with their mediocre warranty. ALL General Motors products are a joke. Whatever Chevrolet offers is mirrored at a higher price and very similar design in GMC. Whatever GMC offers is mirrored at a higher price and very similar design in Cadillac. And Buick is an anomaly that only appeals to the Chinese and an older American generation that will eventually bury it alongside Pontiac and Oldsmobile. If it weren’t for the new Corvette and old-fashioned, working-class American machismo, this brand would be as irrelevant as the Dead Sea scrolls.
Im not sure offerings from ram/jeep (grand caravan) is any better.
ALL thw BIG 3 prices are too high , just another result of the failed policies of the POTUS ,, it is the way all businesses will be soon , biden kills oil jobs shuts down pipelines , to force the development of EV , gas prices will spike next week
Kurt, did Mary steal your dad from your mother? It’ll be ok man! 😢
@@mybro727 no, apparently GM did
@@Ari--d Yea, that’s the same Mary - CEO of *gm.*
Ouch!
Troll ass. 😂
Id take the Jeep wagoneer
just looked at one ,new model a wait 2 -3 yrs to work out the bugs ?
Just bought a 2008 Toyota Sequoia with 115K miles - will likely outlast this Chevy - many, many go for 300K++ miles
Both are reliable if you maintain them properly, these are used as airport taxis and they do 400,000km up here in Canada. My local police department still has a 2012 Chevy tahoe in service.
@@SF.Automotive yes but the ‘11-13 Tahoes/Suburbans were probably the last years these were meant to last.
This is one of the most reliable V8s in the world. My friend still uses one with 325K miles on it. No issues. You buy this Castle on Wheel at least to keep it for 6-8 years in my opinion. In contrast Toyota Sequoia was great, but not even half as comfortable.
Especially after visiting Europe and driving a lot there, I associate this vehicle with car-dependent suburbia and our unnecessarily large roads, along with the shady stuff that’s peppered GM’s history since the interwar period. Frankly, I view this thing as poison. I’m embarrassed to live in a country where we buy this kind of thing as a family vehicle.
The huge cooler between the seats is a huge waste of space. Stupid stupid
Expedition does EVERYTHING better
Except sell better. 😢
Hmmm, just yikes. How many would really road trip it unless your kid plays a club sport? Seems like Telluride or similar is the play.
A Hyundai Telluride compared to a Tahoe? What a joke.
bad design
I hope gasoline goes to $10/gallon. Let's not expect anyone to conserve as long as these vehicles are sold and on the roads. Normalizing this as an everyday driver is at the root of this country's decline. Great review
Very nice vehicle indeed
