- If there was ever a case for, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," it's the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. But can these old-school behemoths coexist with a burgeoning field of midsize crossovers? The answer might surprise you.

These guys just don't get it! It's not just about the size of these trucks or there excellent towing abilities. They look, ride and feel expensive.These things have a presents and statues that no mid SUV will match (including the imports) plus they are amazingly practical and really comfortable and despite what they say these thing drive better than a lot of mid size counter-parts. I had one on lone for a weekend getaway and was really impressed by how they drive coming from the highlander these guys mentioned yes that truck had 3 row seating and the highlander did have more room in the 3rd row than the Yukon xl BUT the Yukon had more room in the front and 2nd row then my Toyota and with 3 rows it still had room to carry all of our luggage's. I really was impressed!
Sinister C-pot Just about every large three row SUV has more third row space than the body on frame GMs. If third row space is what you are looking for an expedition or a navigator is what you want. The back seats are huge.
Grew up with 3 suburbans. Would have it no other way!
Can't afford one JJ? Someday baby, someday.... @@vee6411
Don't forget to mention the v8. What's a SUV without a v8
Just rented a Tahoe for a week driving to/from Yellowstone. It handled all the luggage for 4 adults which would not have fit easily in a smaller SUV. What I liked was the seamless transmission shifting as I went over the continental divide at least 6 times on the trip. It handled extremely well in and around town and now I am looking at reviews because I was amazed at its effortless handling.
Tried so hard to be practical and shopped hard for a Pilot or Highlander. We ended up in a Tahoe since we missed our old one.
Yeah, we did the same we bought and Acadia thinking we wouldn't miss our Yukon when we saw how much the gas bills went down... That Acadia stayed in our garage for 8 months till we realized we need a Yukon lol they are great cars!
SUVs*
😂
I have a crossover but after driving one of these trucks over a weekend, I genuinely want a Yukon in the future haha

Did u get your yukom
To the critic about obese Americans and oversized SUV's, I'm 6'4", 220 lbs. That's slim, but definitely in need of a full-sized vehicle. And if you've never driven a Tahoe, you don't have a clue. They are a dream.
3:41 Finally, my people have found their way into a car review
jajaja lol.
+GooseMeister I have strangled the enemy army while they were sleeping at night.
ha! good one
slice n' dice Slice n' dice... I like that. If you change your name to Chicken Slice n' dicer, then you can be my pawdawan. I shall train you to fight for the Goose Kingdom!
+Chicken Strangler you know what I'll do just that. Train me master in the chicken arts.
more chrome than Google lol
Thats where i got "As Liberal As Crome On A Denali"
here's a few tips for making marimbas
Attend a school or self-study with online lessons
Make sure you are fully committed to it before you begin
(I learned these and why they work on Delfords magic plan site )
I'll be buying the Yukon and I'll be putting a grill guard and black rims on it because its such a dream of mine to have a secret service style vehicle and the Yukon is the way to go for me
Good luck that sounds sick!
Carlos Smith get a rhino grill they look sooo good
Usually people dont buy Tahoes because they need them... People need Suburbans sometimes Tahoes are for people who want them... its a luxury item
Love the Tahoe!
i love the reviews you guys do! keep it up. thank you so much!
much better ride on rough surfaces/ gravel roads than crossovers, they have actual four wheel drive not AWD, love the bold big styling, the size, comfortable, high seating position, safe, great in the winter, so I'd rather have one of these than a Pilot or a Traverse. Well I do have one but an 07
+pelley 4560 Agree with you there.
Wow! What a well done video review! Loved it!
I'm torn on the message of this review. I have a 2015 Traverse, and that came after a 2015 Impala. My Impala was higher-optioned with leather, with the microfiber suede, safety aids, 8-inch touchscreen, heated seats, remote start, Bluetooth, etc. It was a freaking nice car. My Traverse is a 1LT with front-wheel-drive and cloth seats. It has the style and technology package, so I got heated seats and the Bluetooth, and not a whole lot else to compare it to the Impala.
But I still wanted the 2015 Traverse. Yes, I needed it, too, for the extra space, but I also kind of didn't. I could have made do with the Impala, it's not like it's exactly small. But I live in a Boon Dock-y area that thinks a lot of vehicles like the Traverse, and doesn't understand higher status-y mindsets like body-on-frame versus crossover, and the difference between AWD and 4WD. To them, an SUV shape is an SUV, and that's what's "in," especially on all these back roads.
Still, I spend more time in my Traverse alone or with one or two people than I do all five that I do most of the driving for. I could have made the Impala work the vast majority of the time, but I didn't because I wanted a Traverse, and I can afford one. I can't exactly look at anyone driving a Tahoe and call it "unnecessary" just because they don't technically need it. I mean, yeah, are there times when someone has to do what's best instead of what they want, but it's not always about that. If Tahoe and Yukon owners are loving their extravagant and probably hard-earned rides, that's what matters. I say we all just enjoy it.
If I ever move to the US, I'll certainly get one of these, probably the Yukon Denali RWD.
Own a Chevy Tahoe 2000 second owner 189000 plus miles,mint condition.
Mr. Man not to me I like it
my dad is getting a Tahoe from somebody who doest want it now that I'm watching this I want one so BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
"More Chrome that Google"- I like that
I really love these cars... We've had 2 over 10 years. There is so much more prestige and presence than a crossover. They boast so much better of rides, and are so comfortable for long journeys. Sure you can get a cayenne for the same price, but you won't want to haul your 4 kids, luggage and the family boat behind it... In all honestly, I'm not a fan of the smaller Tahoe and Yukon... With the 3rd seat up, there is virtually no cargo room. But with the suburban and Yukon XL, you can put 4+ hockey bags, or a dog bed or two.
You can´t compare this car to a Pilot or Highlander, since those cars don´t offer 8 cylinders.
+Sanpedranoazul Well, those are the closest vehicles that toyota and honda offer, so they are likely to be cross-shopped.
forrest225, Toyota makes Sequoia's, Land Cruisers and Lexus variants. Highlander is on the small end of what Toyota builds.
Mario - agreed, that was a very dumb comparison.
Mario Torrez Quant a pilot is faster, and the full maxes out model is the same price of less than the base model Tahoe.
No, no no, haven't heard of Toyota Land Cruiser? There's also Nissan Patrol. Both legendary SUVs.
I own a 2008 Denali Yukon and love it. Mostly regular oil changes ect fluids is all I do. But yes watch out for the pac-man door in the back it wiill get yeah.
As I look for a new vehicle,I am eyeing a Tahoe,it looks majestic,powerful and comfortable,not a pushover like a midsize wannabe,or mercy a crossover.
But wether I buy it or not,it is a beautiful vehicle.
thanks, man. this help me out alot!👍
Your final point is absolutely correct: compared to smaller yet spacier, cheaper and more fuel efficient midsize SUVs, the Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade fall short. The main reason why people buy them are for looks and armoring. I watched a Nat Geo documentary on a company that specializes in civilian armored vehicles, and almost all the vehicles they armor (for celebrities/presidents/politicians/etc) are Tahoes/ Yukons/Escalades. I believe this is because they're body-on frame and can handle the increase in weight. The truck suspension/brakes/frame/engine were already designed to tow tonnes, and barely anything has to be modified when a few thousand pounds of armor is added.
They compare to midsize 3 row SUV's... but try pulling a trailer with 7 people in a highlander or traverse. These SUV's are NEEDED for some people. and thats why they're still popular.
Friendly0Dan crossovers can't come close to these monsters.
sayem 16.4 a full maxed out crossover is still less than the base model of these suvs, don't compare them.
If you actually use the towing capacity, power to you. But let’s be honest, most Tahoe etc. owners don’t use the towing capacity.
MPrime maybe its a status simbol?!
true but there is something so satisfying about driving a full sized truck.
I didnt know you guys were near long beach. 0:50 is the corner of los coyotes diag and woodruff in long beach lol
Long wheelbase is the version to get. More 3rd row room and storage. Parent's had a 2003. Hard to find a more comfortable vehicle for roadtrips.
I'm 6"6 which one has enough leg room
Make an review of 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe custom edition
ISMH there are SUV and CUV, one is on a Truck frame the other CUV's are car bases low towing around 5K than the higher SUV's with a frame...
I'm happy GM restyled all 3 of their full SUVs. I only have gripes with 2 1) being the Yukon gmc got it right with the butt but the front end isn't the prettiest with the headlights. 2) the escalade Cadillac got it right with the front but the ass ehh those taillights aren't the most attractive either everyone has different taste now the one GM got right both front and back is the Chevy Tahoe/suburban. All 3 are amazing SUVs you just have to find the right one for you
I love the Tahoe. Since Ford doesn't offer an engine in the Expedition, likely gonna go for it.
ill take the tahoe anyday
can you tell me why I would really like to know
xkhalidnz my dads 2003 Tahoe is still running great
Every one of these are so expensive
Go get a Range Rover then
wait for vehicle depreciation they'll be slightly less expensive
Yea I'm from Alaska, and a couple trips up the Denali highway and your crossover is junk. A suburban with a full load of people and big game you just caught. You'll know that you only could have one of these big behemoths.
Before anyone consider buying GM 2015 or 2016 Tahoe Yukon are Suburban remember this I spend $53,000 3 years ago on a Chevy Tahoe this past year I noticed the paint on the hood oxidizing and has lines running throughout the paint I checked the roof and the entire roof was covered with the same thing I contacted GM and they did absolutely nothing to help me fix it they told me to contact my dealer which I did and my dealer told me there's nothing they could do so contact GM needless to say GM refuse to do anything again this will be my last GM product I will ever buy.this is a 3 year old Tahoe with 32000 miles on it . a paint job is going to cost me $6,000 to paint the whole SUV
Ok, I'm going to ask this, and I don't mean to be an asshole. I'm genuinely curious.
For what reason would someone buy a Yukon over a Tahoe? (Or any GMC over a Chevy for that matter?) What makes them worth the extra money?
jwatwater well for a start there's people like me who needs to tow a big trailer around which most crossovers would never dream of even touching. these trucks have 4x4 not awd which in my opinion is better. also these r full size trucks so there's good ground clearance, a big v8, u sit higher than most on the road. and i can say these trucks r built like a rock. i have an 07 Tahoe and that truck sits outside during the winter and summer (i live in Canada so not very nice winters) and it has up around 250k kilometers on it and it has only minor surface rust under neath (and it is just surface rust nothing major) and there is only one chip in its paint on the front fascia which is just from debree from the highway. it doesn't leak, rattle, shake, squeak, thump, fart or any other noise u can dream up. that's why people buy them and i'm sure there are many other people with many different reasons as to y they buy them.
Ok, that answered one question. Thank you. I'm just wondering why anyone buys a Yukon over a Tahoe when they're pretty much the same.
well it mostly comes down to preference in looks pretty much. also the Yukon comes standard with a few more things like leather and heated cooled seats and also the Denali offers the bigger 6.2l V8 with 8 speed transmission . so for me i may be looking into a new truck in the near future so i prefer the Yukon just because i prefer the styling over the Tahoe and it comes with a few more things as standard.
Alright, cool. Thanks.
jwatwater
GMC's are generally built better. In the Middle East, we always prefer GMC's over other brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Lincoln, etc. They sound better, have nicer interiors, they rarely disappoint.
I rather buy a Toyota Sequoia then the Tahoe just that Toyota doesn't have the long wheel base for more room.
thinking of purchasing a Tahoe. They're expensive. but not too far off from smaller size SUVs. I don't have small children, but I've always driven a car and tired of not having enough space and feeling crammed on trips. Are they worth the purchase?!?
Lulu P. Buy a used one
Cool video
Both great SUV's!
Do 2018 RST Tahoe And Suburban
if there is the right of the steering wheel type....?????
I like them both
Published on Oct 9 2015
LMAO I USED TO THINK IT WAS PRONOUNCED "Ta hoe ee"
Why is this tail gate described as "merciless"? Any different than any of the others out there?
He must be kidding in the vid. There is no need to hit the "close" button while you are still under the tailgate.
Tahoe looks way better than Yukon
no it doesn't lmao
The third row legroom is terrible on the Tahoe, especially compared to its competitors.
I'm 6'3 and I have A Tahoe and I have so much space in the 3rd row . You must got some long ass legs if you don't have "leg space"
+Gios Game You must be kidding.
Gios Game I'm 5'7 and my dad had a Tahoe and we traveled a lot, the 3rd row has bad leg room for me so we got a traverse, not much better. I've been in the suburban which had amazing leg room
It's built on a truck frame so there are full sized axels in the rear. 3rd rows are usually for children anyways but if you can manage driving the suburban/XL models they are much nicer people movers.
Lol why didn't y'all do the expedition
Hey guys, should I get the Tahoe or the Suburban? Which has more room/interior space?
Suburban for sure
A Suburban is a longer Tahoe. Which do you think?
I’ve rented the Tahoe several times and all I can say is it does what it’s supposed to. Pricey but I don’t care.
The real question is should I buy the escalade ESV with cue or the suburban LTZ? The Chevy to me looks better and has a humanly operable interface but is less equipped and luxurious.
If your debating on chevy or cadillac get the Youkon Denali
Dear lord these cars are so massive! I'll take a used 2012 cayenne any day of the week over this :)
The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator do the third row the best
The Ford Flex should have been on the choice of when the pictures of when the crossovers were shown.
Fuck no, its an embaresment for ford
+ashraf abuzahr I was saying that it should be redesigned.
0:10 اقسم بالله كان عندنا هاذي السيارة
My room is full of Yukon, Escalade and Tahoe posters!!!!
Tahoes and suburban will never get downsized....d.c. is filled with them as the preferred choice of govt. vehicles
GM is actually trying to reduce it's fleet sales, because they are ordered in bulk which reduces the price of each vehicle.
The big difference is the Tahoe and human can tow alot more that th r traverse and Acadia
Still prefer my 2005 Excursion , V10 Power
It's horrible mpg and it's so so so so so slow
The V10 has so much low-end torque it doesn't feel "so so so so so slow" at all. It scoots along from a stop quite well.. Plus 0-60 in 9.1 seconds is about as quick as the Suburban/Yukon XL of that era.
+Husky342 idk where youre pulling that 9.1 figure out of, but our 04 yukon with the 4.8 has done it under 8 seconds
My suburban walks v10 excursions. And I like getting 25 mpg highway. Not 10 lol
Abdullah Taha muuuaahhahahaha evil laugh
I don't understand the difference between GMC and Chevy with these models. is it just the engine, or is one more superior over the other?
GMC is luxury version of Chevy.
GMC is NOT the luxury brand. They're both equal to each other and ha e all the same parts. Cadillac is the luxury brand of the same drivetrain.
The Tahoe Ltz is basically a Yukon
I just rode two and a half hours back and forth both ways and this car in the very last third row seats and it was so uncomfortable. other than that I love the car but there is no leg room in the third row it just defeats the third row all together to me.
If you have teens or adults planning to ride in the third row consider the Suburban or Yukon XL
I feel much safer in a Tahoe or Yukon and I think I am.
These two SUVs always had headlights problems and it's really annoying because the owners won't fix it. I would see them everywhere I go and no matter what generation it is, headlight problems is an issue. I wish this problem could be fix. I do like the SUV, it's just the issue that is bothering me.
What headlight problems are you talking about? I have a 04 yukon and we have never had a headlight problem. Hell, a headlight blew out on us last friday, but those bulbs lasted for 6-7 years
Daytime running lights. I see other vehicles have the same problem but not as much as the Tahoe and Yukon.
+Mr. Question they do blow out quick. But it depends. Some can go years and they wont blow. Some can go days and they will blow
If you want a more luxury SUV, buy an Escalade or Navigator
Why this factories not working to lower gas consumption and make hybrid conception on this size of cars, this cars gives more capability and body space to use lates hybrid conceptions. Making modern nice comfortable interior, but engine is from 20th century.
They tried, but the consumers won't go for it. A hybrid Escalade is marked up 25k towards its fuel-only brother. Mercedes, Cadillac and Chevy quit their joint program after a few years.
dont make sharp front lamp design hate and body short
👍
These actually get about 24-28 mpg highway in the real world.
"mercyless power rear liftgate" hahahhhahhhahahah!!
ill take a Denali lol
Squirrels for the world!
I buy a Tahoe because of the name and the way it looks not for the gas mileage and not for the roominess this is a status issue
To compare full size, truck based, SUV's to an SUV in another segment is ridiculous. Each have their own audience and merits and both fill their respective niche.
LD ODOM true
The GM lift-gate was designed after the French Guillotine.
I tow my RV with mine.
Seating for 9???? Where is the 9th person going to sit???
Lars Demus three in the front bench of opinioned three in the middle then three in the rear
Maybe on an optional cargo rack.
There are three seats at the front for some models.
5:42 $4.09!?
They are twins
Just get a Land Cruiser and enjoy the rock solid residual value, reliability, off road capabilities and much classier interior.
The GM full size SUV is the longest lasting SUV in America. It has more horsepower, space, its more refined, more tech, tows more, better gas mileage, cheaper etc etc. it also employs US familys
Excuse me... Tahoes and yukons hold there value very well and are 80% classier than any other SUV on the road... Have you ever driven one? I bet nit
Nobody buys them they are overpriced and OVERRATED!
you can get out of the jungle with a Land Cruiser
nyak63RUS Also enjoy the high maintenance costs and terrible mpg. What a great car for $83,000.
Tahoe’s have a bigger engine then some silverados
nice and good job I 😍
if you buy the LS trimm all you need to do is buy the chrome parts and the rims and leather seats and voila you got a LTZ
Lol, I guess GM didn’t give much advertising money to the millennial sat KBB. Pretty inaccurate review.
chevy tahoe when entering into Indonesia..........????
I have a Chevy Traverse much better vehicle and might I add more space
Why is everything the same ? 😱
Gm baby lol.
Tahoe
Why cant the Brits make a one as big as this for the Range Rover tho :(
I love the tahoe but this new 2015 model has to be the far out most ugliest tahoe design out there.... it looks like a funeral car and the suburban i don't even know what to say abut it... really disappointed in this year's design :/
Mar14el im the opposite personally i them all!!!
Mar14el thank god that was just the last Gen that ended in 2014
Mar14el or you can always buy a geo metra or nissan sentra
I like the suburban better than the tahoe
aggressive look
Stogg
Why drive a big ole truck like this? To cut you off in traffic of course.
Mid-size SUV's are fine for women, but I wouldn't want to be caught driving one.
Yukon sounds like a Vietnamese word
brand new vehicles that has devices not working properly and has mind of its own ?!!! hollyshit they ask arm and legs for them !!!
Did he say $47 000? So cheap yet so huge
really oh my god this is cool he is cheap don't expensive nice
