we just picked one up. didn't have the 360 cameras or the rear power folding seats. 78k (sticker) + 10k destination charge + tax & title. also didn't realized the extended warranty cost over 5k. I didn't see that until after signing the papers. it just came in the lot and very limited on inventory. sucks being a sellers market, no room to negotiate. i know i overpaid, but that's just how the current market is (10/18/2021 purchase date). this was in newnan GA (high demand for off road SUVs).
I bought this vehicle new in white for my wife. I am confident in the fact that she and my daughter are safe. That was the main concern for me. In a collision, it would annihilate another car. It will never get hung up in a practical weather situation. The fuel economy wasn't a concern for me, but it does average about 14 mpg city and highway off the lot, using A/C most everyday. I replaced the factory air filter with a K&N and it is now at 14.9. Do be advised that GM is having issues with GM trucks produced between Sept 2020 and March 2021 in 5.3L and 6.2L V8 configurations. They are experiencing lifter failure before 10k miles and in some cases before 5k. I can say that, everything considered, I am very happy with my purchase. If you have questions, please reply and I will try to respond with real-world, no BS answers, if I have one.
You're looking at the wrong car. If you want safety you go Volvo. I worked at Volvo for many years. One day a group of firefighter's came by the Volvo dealership and was looking at the vehicle's; I asked them what they were doing here. They responded saying that "whenever there is a vehicle collision, and there is a Volvo involved, they will always go to the other vehicle first because more than likely the passengers in the Volvo are a lot safer and they can get to them last" That's when I knew Volvo is no joke.
Just purchased one this past weekend. Raiti hit every aspect on this review. Extremely comfy ride, spacious throughout, incredible lines and beautiful interior, Chevy nailed it. I've driven in BMW's, MB's, and Range Rover SUV's, and for the price, this is barely a step below those and that's only because of their name recognition. One thing I'll add, is the digital readout behind the steering column is in fact digital, only the MPH and RPM is analog, all of the other readouts disappear when the vehicle is off, the model shown I believe is the Signature Z71 package, hence the sunroof.
@@sialea19 Gas mileage is pretty good for the size of the vehicle. I get about 18-23 miles per gallon, depending on the type of driving. It does require Premium per the manual. Unfortunately with gas prices on the rise, it gets a little expensive. I live in CA, it costs about 130 to fill up.
Joe has become my favorite in a short time. I used to watch others until I found him. No gimmicks just a passion for automobiles and racing and a mature sensibility
wow! its only half the price of the escalade ! My kids are 6'4" + I need this or the escalade soon but I wanted a 2 seater and a truck and can do this with the price of the new Tahoe. This one looks so much better than I thought. The Tahoes of our childhood were so rugged but this looks nice inside. Pleasantly surprised.
5.3 is a lighter ride, longer lasting engine. I've only done the 5.3's have a yukon and tahoe go over 240K miles. Also it's pretty on par for the industry.
Trading in my 18 Silverado z71 for this exact ride. Delivery is Monday. Im gonna miss my crew cab; but need that 3rd row now... Still....gonna miss my baby.
Thanks Joe for another great review. I will sent this your review to my son and his family, I think they would love this. Any growing family of 5 or more, this is a must try out SUV.
I've always loved the redesigns GM does with the Tahoe,Suburban,Yukon,and the Escalade. Most of the time the prices does match up with their quality ,but mann the prices are higher the tallest Mountain.
Coworker of mine has this same identical Tahoe, very very nice! I'm 5'10" 270ish and im comfortable in the 3rd row seating. Only thing I would improve is the ride height and more aggressive tires, he actually got stuck yest and not even the 4 wheel drive could get em out out or avoid em from getting top centered lol oh and beef up the front tow hooks cz we bent those 😂🤷♂️
@Raiti's Rides 13:09 you had me laughing when you did the demonstration with your knee and it's actually how i felt in the last gen tahoe/suburban. i felt like i was practically eating my knee's. the previous gens made me cramped up.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
Ford Expedition with a Chevy badge basically. The expedition has a lot more room in the third row. Plus they have had most of the same features since 2018.
The middle seats being buckets are a deal breaker for me. Same goes with the current Ford Explorer. It sucks for lovers of big dogs that would normally enjoy a bench seat with a hammock seat cover. 🤨
Black is the only color the grill looks ok on. I'm really disappointed there's only one engine option for the Z71. Diesel and 6.2 aren't available. Wheels aren't terribly attractive either.
Hopefully they decide to offer air vented seats and the other engine options. Not sure why in this day and age that they cheap out on what is almost a standard with vehicles well over $50k. Just a few things to add and this would make my next vehicle list.
Joe? You're 6 ft tall. I'm 6 and a half feet tall. Will I fit in the front seat comfortably? I go to auto shows to see what vehicles I fit into. In older Tahoe/Suburban models there is absolutely no legroom for a guy like me. Thanks for the info.
July 2023. In the past few years, I've rented a 2019 Sequoia, a 2021 Armada, and a 2021 Tahoe.........All in urban environments. To me, the Tahoe looked, felt, and drove 'bigger' than the other two (I thought it was a Suburban when I went to pick it up), and this Tahoe looks substantially larger than the 2015---2018 Tahoe's that I see on the road. I was BARELY able to fit the Armada in my garage. The Tahoe is a hair too wide. You don't drive a LARGE body on frame SUV for gas mileage. That being typed, I did not calculate it, but I didn't think any of the 3 were "horrible" on gas. I thought the Sequoia had the best fit and finish, the Armada had the best throttle response and acceleration and the best driver seat. Tahoe had the best A/C. Very powerful and cools the truck down very quickly, though all the A/C's worked well. The Armada had the best speakers. I've owned two Nissan's in the past 15 years (one was a CVT), and I have zero complaints about Nissan. I think Nissan is the best value of the 3. My mind is set on a 2021 Nissan Armada.
are your number correct for cargo space? You are saying 25 cu ft with all rows up. then 90. then 145 with all rows down. I have seen its really 25/72.6/122 ???? can you please advise on this ?
Gosh... Is there anywhere, where I can actually get a z71 Tahoe for msrp??? I'd buy one tomorrow if it's 65k and not 75k like how they're marked up now...
I’m not the biggest Chevy fan but man you got to admit they have been nailing the look of their vehicles lately
AGREED!
Same with ford I love the new Explorer
@@deanwetters5579 its nice but kinda looks like they are trying to be a range rover
Have you seen the new Silverado?
Rowan Ponich exactly the same thing I thought
No one demonstrates cars so accurately as you do Joe. Superb presentation!
So this Tahoe has a couple banana holders, a skittles compartment in the back AND a storage compartment for your cheeseburgers?!?! SOLD!
You forgot the jar of pickles lol 😆
He was for sure hungry when he made this video 😂😂😂
This guy has to be the number one salesman in the world. I watch all his videos
nothing like a house payment for transportation
LOL! I know right!
😂
Buy it cash
65k isn’t buying you a garage where I live so each to their own!
@@longboardguy they said a house payment. not the full cost of a home or the full cost of the car.
I used to love these SUVs when they were affordable.
Mexicans love old beat up Tahoes.
Lol you got that right
@@jonnydiaz6630 they work tho.
I just purchased 1 🤙🏾
wow car
Half the price of the Escalade??? Give me this Tahoe all day long!
It is a lot of SUV!
It matters which Escalade. The premium luxury is only $20,000 more
Escalade pimped tahoe
Actually, it's not half the price. He's exaggerating.
They're basically the same thing anyways besides badging and interior.

Thoughts on gas mileage now that you've owned it a bit? What grade fuel do you use? I saw some reviewers say premium grade is required.

The way you incorporate the food is amazing I love it!!!!
I'll buy one if you'll come along on a offroad trip and be our tour guide. Love it. Thanks for the great review.
New to the channel, I really like this guy's attention to aesthetic details. In a generic copycat world well reasoned opinions are refreshing 😁
Thanks for finding us! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment & watch!
Joe has become my favorite in a short time. I used to watch others until I found him. No gimmicks just a passion for automobiles and racing and a mature sensibility
Now when I go to car shows and see Bugattis and they're showing off I'm going to be like "yea but do you have a banana holder like the Tahoe?"
I like the way you think!
What are you gonna do when they say they do
@@phyo9237 give them a fist pump 👊 then bust out some bananas!
Stop saying and so much use other conjuctions
Don't forget about the rock tray

The last Tahoe I had, was a 1997... you're right about this being an upgrade lol
So very true Adam!
Ah yes I love when TH-cam recommends me videos about vehicles I can’t afford unless I sell an organ or soul. 🙂
May I suggest a kidney? You only need one anyway
@@Txpo50 not worth it
The 6.2L should be standard at that price.
AGREED
It should be the only gas option.
5.3 is a lighter ride, longer lasting engine. I've only done the 5.3's have a yukon and tahoe go over 240K miles. Also it's pretty on par for the industry.
You're not lying. Too pricy.
@@stephenherzer6470 same and still kicking it
great video. when I get done with my Silverado, I’m going for this next
Good plan Brandon!
Trading in my 18 Silverado z71 for this exact ride. Delivery is Monday.
Im gonna miss my crew cab; but need that 3rd row now...
Still....gonna miss my baby.
I am always wanted the Tahoe but I can’t afford it not even a used one they’re still expensive 😒
It’s crazy how much these cost!
Escalades are $115k
When a switch folded down not just the 3rd row seats but the 2nd row too.... SOLD!!!
Tahoe should really make a smaller version a 2 row instead of a 3rd row it should also cut the price down
Thanks Joe for another great review. I will sent this your review to my son and his family, I think they would love this. Any growing family of 5 or more, this is a must try out SUV.
My favorite Chevrolet SUV! Great job Joe.
they tripping with that gauge cluster. smh!
I just love when u say " ON THROTTLE"! LOL I gotta 2002 buick lesabre, when I got to work in the morning Ima say ON THROTTLE!
I loved it.But we are talking a very long term investment and for a personal use vehicle I dont see it worth it.
I want to see more of these SUVs Joe. Plz
You got it my friend!
I've always loved the redesigns GM does with the Tahoe,Suburban,Yukon,and the Escalade. Most of the time the prices does match up with their quality ,but mann the prices are higher the tallest Mountain.
U could sleep in back
@@twilliams385 lol yeah. That being said they make great travel vehicles.
At 7:10 he puts his “family jewels” in there. 😂😂😂
I’d never buy a Chevy, but that’s a good looking vehicle
Same here rick
I know how you feel Rick!
AGREED!
Outstanding review. Informative and a little humor thrown in. Great job my friend

I like the back reclining seats 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Frees up some nice space!
Great little changes good deal no flashing lights at volume just still light that can be changed. Cover over front console good idea.
You want me to put my family jewels where?! Lol
LOL! Thanks for letting me share some laughs!
Makes me wanna drive from MN to FL just to buy from this guy
Thanks Anthony!
I’m a Ford guy, I honestly don’t really like the new Silverado’s, but I love the way this looks tbh
Looks a ton better than the last one.
I totally agree with you!
Almoat 70kand you cant get a digital dashboard 🤦♂️ had to be a chevy
This guy is a PHENOMENAL talker
Thanks Kalob! I appreciate that!
I absolutely love your videos! Always making me laugh 😂
I am so glad that I can share the cars and the laughs with you!

no electrical pedal adjustment !!! they removed another -10 points

Love my 2024 Tahoe rst
Sexy ass SUV and this guy is one hellova salesman, he had me on the part where he talked about Cheeseburgers space lmao.
I am glad that you like this one! I am just a guy sharing his passion for cars!
You forgot about the camera in the rearview mirror
It ain't worth 65k
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Looks REALLY nice....why do you even need a GMC or Cadillac?

Nice suv and I had a new one in 2007. It’s overpriced for sure. I’ll prefer a Nissan or Toyota because they’re more reliable in my opinion.
Hopefully they decide to offer air vented seats and the other engine options. Not sure why in this day and age that they cheap out on what is almost a standard with vehicles well over $50k. Just a few things to add and this would make my next vehicle list.
As big as this suv is they should put a battery in it for idling and slow stop & go traffic it runs off of the battery.
I too put cheeseburgers in the hidden trunk compartment of my Tahoe 😎
this should be a van. Had to say it.
2022 Astro?
Oh wow I totally remember the Astro Van!
@@RaitisRides Great vehicle, needed v8 power though
I would totally buy a new small awd astro cargovan if reasonably priced.
@@Yugetubes especially a v8 van. I can imagine V8 sports/rally vans dominating the future roads
@@THESLlCK I'll buy anything that is naturally aspirated. I like simplicity.
I'd like to know how much, and have there been any problems with the Tahoe . No lemens

two things i learned from this video. 1 this guy loves to snack. 2 this guys life contains way more jewels than my life

Don't give up on the dream!
Oooo , compartments 😍
When you bosses daughter pulls up with a new Z71 and all she does is order food and eat, while the staff keeps leaving because of low pay
Cheeseburgers in the back hahaha he knows me well ❤️❤️❤️
Do you have them available?
Does the lt drive smoother than the z71?
Grocery getter!!! Z71 for parking lot speed bumps.
Is there another Tahoe with this exact trim and package available
For the price it should be perfect
