Happy Holidays!!! Were both of you in attendance for the NA 2018 Wrangler launch? After your two great Wrangler videos, I'm looking for a funding stream for a 2018 JL Wrangler Unlimited. BTW: Who was the 'magician' on the Clarity 'fender skirt' CGI? Very impressed fellas.
Chevrolet has Tahoe RST, Blazer RS Ford has Explorer ST, Edge ST Dodge and Jeep have Grand Cherokee SRT, Durango R/T, Durango SRT. So if you want a sporty American SUV, make sure it has the letters S, R, or T.
I got a 2017 Tahoe for my 17th birthday! They are actually very nice cars! Especially for long car trips. I love it so much that my mom started driving it and bought her a Escalade. My family loves these cars very very much!
Kudos to Chevy for installing the split heater for the front seats. I had it in my E60 BMW 530d with comfort seats and I loved it. In contrast to Jakub - mine were always set to "zero for the butt, 100% for the back". :)
The heated seats are not back/butt OR butt. It’s back/butt or back. The reason being on a long road trip you can use just back so you don’t get too tight. I love it on my truck. :) you guys rock.
I prefer my 04 Tahoe LT personally, in terms of looks. I'd love to have that 6.2l V8 in mine, though. But the 5.3l V8 making 295-300hp and 330lb ft of torque isn't anything to joke about, either. 297k miles daily driven, no transmission swaps, no engine swaps, aside from the standard wear and tear of a daily driver for 15 years the vehicle is in great shape. Tahoe's last a long time, and if you take care of em they seemingly last forever lol. But great video as usual
I love this channel. A great show would be you guys sent on ridiculous top gear style road trips by some serious maybe older car dudes who would stay at home base, testing cars at the track, interviewing guests, and thinking up challenges. So sort of like a mix of classic top gear but with a Mythbusters power structure.
So glad that General Motors FINALLY let Chevy use that 6.2 L V8 in their Tahoes and Suburbans. For years it was just in the Yukon and Yukon XL Denalis. I too like the monochromatic look, with the body color grille, door handles, etc... Sadly there is only 4 colors available when you pick the RST package: Black, White, Silver, Dark Grey.
WOW! heated seats, my '03 Tahoe Z71 had heated, no cooled back then, seats and you could chose between ass and back or just back. After a long day of work and a long ride home the heated back got used year round. Also had adjustable pedals to.
Hey Jakub. Nice just got the 2018 Traverse but the new Tahoe wow incredible stats on the engine and like the mag suspension in that thing. BTW congrats on the channel its looking great. We should meet up sometime, would be great to catch up.
You were in Fort Worth NOT Dallas!! And that road you were on is a great place to test that magnetic ride, full of potholes and bumps. Nice review of the RST Tahoe by the way, I’m getting mine next month.
just Picked up a Tahoe LS with Leather, Sunroof and 22" Black wheels with Blacked out Chev Emblem --- Yee Haa BUT only a 5.3L with Painted Red Calipers
Curious if they fixed the nasty squeeky seats for 2018. Last years models allllll squeeked. and for almost 100g thats pretty sad. But i will admit... i do like that truck!
+Dorian W. No squeaky seats in ours, that's about all we can confirm. Although the lane keep assist vibrates your Butt depending on which lane you're driving over. Pretty funny and weird sensation. Like farting
You guys made a mistake, you said the 6.2L is a LS motor, it’s not it’s the newer LT1, completely different motor then the LS. The 6.2L LT1 motor and the 10 speed automatic is what comes in the Camaro and Corvette.
Should have had one stock....Im waiting to see ehat Cadillac does with their upcoming "Escalade V" LT4 perhaps....I just pray not a blackwing.....what makes GM engines so popular is their simplicity, reliability and aftermarket support (due mostly in part to the former.)
I think the engine is the L99 or similar variant, which is based on the LS engines except it has active fuel management where it can shut down 4cyl much like the automatic SS camaros and other automatic chevrolet v8s
Yea, same premise as the old LS2-L76 type stuff...except its the LT1-L86. Its an LT1 as much as a L76 is an LS2. They are mostly the same just having slightly different specs, but still fully interchangeable what makes GM engines so easy to work on....make 1 part for one engine and it fits on 5.
My mom has had GMC Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalades and they’ve been the best cars they’re amazing and they have tons of room for me and my 5 siblings
Why does the skinny one speak with so much condescension towards his friend. He said ‘okay...’ as if he didn’t know what Jacob was talking about when he made mention of the magnetic ride support.
I'm mad I didnt know about these guys sooner because I live in the area where they shot this video and was looking at the background to see if they actually stayed on that one road 😂
Yeah a few more gimmick options I personallu think the Cadillac body looks better (I am a GM guy but further Cadillac guy, lets be real, you dont mess with CTSV's)
Considering the extremely high price & unaspiring interior & exterior it’s just not worth it considering the addition of the Kia Telluride with a hell of a lot of options that you can’t get on the Tahoe & a price tag of under 50 grand it’s definitely worth while looking at it
Looks and practicality are relative to each buyer. The only thing that the Tahoe does better is towing larger loads, like boats and larger trailers. I think more people might be swayed to believe that the Tahoe is a better rig (for them) because the price is higher.
Exactly my point, the Tahoe does everything better which is why trim to trim it costs more. Stronger transmission for towing, bigger engine for power, and more interior space with an easier accessible third row if needed. And with that logic you just pointed out, cost is also relative to each buyer.
Hey did u guys try to fit Yuri in that big central armrest? And i got a suggestion, it'll be better if u provide full vehicle spec in the description box. Just a suggestion. Thank u.
Gary Matthews Cheyenne! 2014 SEMA truck. Jakub drove it. Every dash light was lit up and it drove like it had steel rods for suspension but it looked amazing and I want it
I hate how they made the hooks for the front optional on this new generation tahoe/saburban, back then every model had it, it wasn't an option that i know off
We're gunna have a lot of fun today. Uh so, let's let's uh get to it

Whats the mpg??
Which one did you guys love more? Durango SRT or Tahoe RST?
@@callen7436 SRT 100% more fan to drive
The Straight Pipes, saabkyle04, and Hoovey, all the favs in one spot
what is that like #freakout
I know right
They just mist Doug demuro
Throttle house?
Solid cameo from Tyler and Kyle
Wife and I just bought one used and so far we love it. Sounds great, fits the whole family and 0-60 in 5.8 not bad for a big heavy beast.
How did or is it so far? I've read mixed reviews.
@@Texas_Cruiser we both love it, it can get good gas mileage if you try. It's definitely not perfect but the extra power is what we like.
Chevrolet has Tahoe RST, Blazer RS
Ford has Explorer ST, Edge ST
Dodge and Jeep have Grand Cherokee SRT, Durango R/T, Durango SRT.
So if you want a sporty American SUV, make sure it has the letters S, R, or T.
At least 2 of the 3 in no certain order. Nice PPV too!!!
Lolz
Or SRT all together

Jacob Gervy why???
That interior looks great, and man that thing sounds good even on video! You just can't beat a GM V8.
Yea you can it's called Eco Boost V8 Fords.
@@kalebdinklage1861 Last I checked ford eco boost v8s don't exist.

yeah
dog they were literally the focus of the shot how tf could anyone not see them
Infamous Stax 😂
Hoovie and Kyle cameo was great. You can spot Jakub at the start of Hoovies video!
+AustinF12 haha yeah you can see us taking the selfie that we posted on instagram and facebook

Stephen Minervino we want to do that
Shit i'll drop $10 on that
Power fold and up seats are amazing. Nice work GM.
We did a 2000km road trip with the new Tahoe. Amazing. Only problem with the last raw, not so comfortable. I loved driving the giant.
Merry Christmas Guys! Can’t wait what 2018 has in store for Straight Pipes!
Love the cameo from SaabKyle and Tyler!
3:02 "Silverwado" 😅
I LOVE my RST. Can do bad ass burnouts with ALL my kids in the car.

Damn that exhaust looks hot.

Really nice rst truck. And nice video. Love you guys✌️
i just cant help but think of wheel of fortune.... "RST, LNE" lol
Hahahaha 😂, I absolutely agree!
real subtle wink at the HP numbers there yuri
Sean Roberts 😉
LOL. Random SaabKyle04 cameo in your video. Love it, haha
Alex Morrison saabkyle is my favorite in real life
Yuri Tereshyn he seems like a cool guy. So jelly you guys got to hang out down there!
This was published exactly one year before I bought my "03 Yukon Denali, which also has the split seat heater and moving pedals
Welcome to Texas, the best country on earth.
Love you guys!
Merry Christmas Yuri and Jakub!

You have to love that subtlety with the Chevy Tahoe police cars chasing the criminal in a Ford.
Thats so nice having a police car keep up the good videos
Hey Jakub. Nice just got the 2018 Traverse but the new Tahoe wow incredible stats on the engine and like the mag suspension in that thing. BTW congrats on the channel its looking great. We should meet up sometime, would be great to catch up.

+Randall Duff oops. Congrats!
The weird part about this is it's not THAT much different from my 20yr old Tahoe... Love that thing
Yoo, yesterday going to the store I saw a RST Silverado, wicked.
A lot of basketballs had to die to create that interior!!
😤 Chevy missed everything everytime with the interior
This came up in suggestion after hoovies garage of this same event!
just Picked up a Tahoe LS with Leather, Sunroof and 22" Black wheels with Blacked out Chev Emblem --- Yee Haa BUT only a 5.3L with Painted Red Calipers

I love this car
Ayyye I saw that wink, Yuri be blaaaazingggg
Love your channel you guys are too funny
Texas eh? Right on! Yeah that truck is pretty sweet. I bet it would haul with a supercharger.
The Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL/Escalade/Escalade ESV is built in Arlington, TX.
Should have had one stock....Im waiting to see ehat Cadillac does with their upcoming "Escalade V" LT4 perhaps....I just pray not a blackwing.....what makes GM engines so popular is their simplicity, reliability and aftermarket support (due mostly in part to the former.)
The smirk when he said horsepower: 4:20
I think the engine is the L99 or similar variant, which is based on the LS engines except it has active fuel management where it can shut down 4cyl much like the automatic SS camaros and other automatic chevrolet v8s
It's about time Chevy puts the big motor in the Tahoe and Suburban long over due now we need a real sport truck GM...
Happy Holidays guys.. ✌🏼😊
I have no need for something like this but I would love one anyway.
Got to drive one of these at work the other day.. the ONLY Chevy SUV worth buying, along with the suburban.
Wish we had this in my country!
did he really say ls v8??? these have l86 6.2 ecotec3 not ls.
Yea, same premise as the old LS2-L76 type stuff...except its the LT1-L86. Its an LT1 as much as a L76 is an LS2. They are mostly the same just having slightly different specs, but still fully interchangeable what makes GM engines so easy to work on....make 1 part for one engine and it fits on 5.
My mom has had GMC Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalades and they’ve been the best cars they’re amazing and they have tons of room for me and my 5 siblings
I like GM for 3 reasons, cheap to work on, the v8s and older v6's are beyond reliable, and they have a TON of aftermarket support
Saabkyle04 without further ado!😂
the GM trucks are incredibly comfortable on long road trips.No fatigue
I got a 08 tahoe ltz stock exhaust these sound the same
Why does the skinny one speak with so much condescension towards his friend. He said ‘okay...’ as if he didn’t know what Jacob was talking about when he made mention of the magnetic ride support.
I'm mad I didnt know about these guys sooner because I live in the area where they shot this video and was looking at the background to see if they actually stayed on that one road 😂
Isn’t the Escalade the same truck? Same power and magnetic shocks
+L8 Night more expensive
Yeah a few more gimmick options I personallu think the Cadillac body looks better (I am a GM guy but further Cadillac guy, lets be real, you dont mess with CTSV's)
After all of the super SUVs you’ve driven does the RST still stand up? Spoiler alert I love mine in black
Just bought mine today!
This was filmed at Texas Motor Speedway, which is in Ft Worth TX IN Tarrant County. Dallas is an entirely different city in Dallas County!!!!
We have a 2011 Tahoe Z71 LT but soon we will get a 2015 or newer Yukon Denali
Ayeee that’s a big ass truck 😂
Considering the extremely high price & unaspiring interior & exterior it’s just not worth it considering the addition of the Kia Telluride with a hell of a lot of options that you can’t get on the Tahoe & a price tag of under 50 grand it’s definitely worth while looking at it
so you go to a chevy dealership ask for the tahoe rst and they build it for you right ?
more suvs like this please
The next review needs to be the Chevy blazer rs !!!! For sure
LS motors were last generation, not to mention that’s only in the sports cars like the Camaro and Corvette. This Tahoe has the EcoTec3 L86 motor.
5.7 0-60 for 78K. The Traverse can give you 6.7 0-60 and the same tech and size for 25K less. This thing is packed with profit.
Cost would be the only factor in considering a Traverse. The Tahoe is more practical and better looking.
Looks and practicality are relative to each buyer. The only thing that the Tahoe does better is towing larger loads, like boats and larger trailers. I think more people might be swayed to believe that the Tahoe is a better rig (for them) because the price is higher.
Exactly my point, the Tahoe does everything better which is why trim to trim it costs more. Stronger transmission for towing, bigger engine for power, and more interior space with an easier accessible third row if needed. And with that logic you just pointed out, cost is also relative to each buyer.
And that 1 second on the 0-60 creates an even bigger gap in the 1/4 if we’re throwing in performance like you originally mentioned.
Almost forgot, the Tahoe even gets better HWY MPG than the Traverse.
Why does that black splitter on the front exist?
"It's very modern, like this is classy" It shouldn't make sense, but I totally get it :-D
+Maxwell Powers modern class!
Haha, point taken!
Also, Merry Christmas guys!
Since when is shit brown "modern" and "classy"
If I had the money to buy it you already know it would be in parking lot
At 3:53 there's the guy on the hoovies garrage and Saabkybly
It's a Trailblazer SS with a severe thyroid problem

Would this be considered a truck? Or a full size suv on a truck platform? Asking for a friend☺️
Anyone notice that the guy on the passenger seat winked when the driver said “420 horsepower”. Guy must be a stoner. Haha

Which by the way is in FT WORTH , not DALLAS!!!
Just sayin, my 2006 buick rainier does have a back only option for its heated seats 👌🏻👌🏻
How do you spell the name of those brakes? Rembo? Thanks

I believe its trying to replicate the Silverado Z28 concept truck. Thing had an LS7 and carbon fiber everywhere
I hate how they made the hooks for the front optional on this new generation tahoe/saburban, back then every model had it, it wasn't an option that i know off
The 😉 when 420 horsepower was mentioned.
