I know this has been said before, but you are such an underrated channel. You're such a great reviewer and you definitely deserve 1m+ subscribers. Keep up the great work my friend!
Love that they put this engine in the Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade. Hopefully there won’t be too many problems with it, because it gets great fuel economy and it sounds really cool. That instant torque has to be addictive. The main worry with this engine is that belt that’s bathed in oil. It’s guaranteed 150k miles, but it’s a pain to get to.
Eh if the truck treats you well in those 150k miles, and you manage to get a decent price on the belt change and then go for another 150k miles it might not be THAT bad. Still a mediocre design though, sadly this might be one of the last GOOD diesels that consumers could get before the electrical apocalypse
@@blueryxfalls7949 If nothing happens for the first 150k miles with that belt, I agree. Curious if there are gonna be any other issues with this engine. But in theory, it’s really cool. I’d totally get this over the 5.3 and even the 6.2. Instant torque, really good mpgs for what it is, and I love the straight 6 sound.
Solid, thorough, efficient review. Great job. Just a comment. I've never heard anyone mention this, about the Denali or AT4, but it's big for me. That center console area where the charging station and cup holders are, it has what appear to be flat or near flat, padded rails on either side; move the sliding console back a bit to create a little extra room lengthwise, and it's a perfect place to put my laptop, even use it, or at least watch streaming quotes, while I drive, and certainly while parked. Add the wifi hot spot and its a great mobile work station. And with the various options of power outlets in the Yukons, I wouldn't even have to drain my laptop battery, just plug it in. The Denali side rails in the cup holder area are longer than the AT4's, so likely better for this, but both would work. Love it. That particular feature may well in the end be why I go the Yukon instead of the Escalade route, since the Escalade does not have it. A benefit of moving the gear shifter up onto the dash. Though I do wish the Yukons offered the massaging seats as an option, that would be nice on those long days, work days in the car or otherwise.
i think the only better road trip car would be the escalade ext with this engine...its got everything for a trip...and the all important HUD...just wish this chip shortage would go away...its making finding these cars hard...and the radar detector to go with it for the long trips...
Very nice review and I like how you showed the heads up video of driving without all the bs talking. Nice Job. Not sure if you did the V8 which I'm looking at... but I will look for it.
Awesome video. It's fun to see this big SUVs getting optimized the European way. Sorry to rant, but apart from a stupid 'ping, ping' I couldn't hear the startup, let alone the number of cylinders. Awesome powerplant.
Electric body on frame SUVs that are less capable are not more logical right now.. These are off road capable and can tow and haul much more longer ranges.
Fill up takes no more than five minutes, more options on shops for maintenance and repair and this 3.0 duramax can easily get a range of 700 miles between fill ups. EV tech is just not as capable as this yet.
Say it isn't so the topher is selling out. Also if you get a ticket out of your county all you need to do is ask for a change of venue through the court it's pretty much automatic you don't need a lawyer.
Id rather have the 6.2 because if I can afford a $71k car im not likely hurting for the extra fuel cost nor would i want to have less pumps to choose from
It’s not about saving money…. It’s about extending the fuel range without stopping. Yukon xl can go almost 800 miles with the diesel. And barely over 500 with the V8
I was wondering the same thing . . the regeneration mode was a REAL pain in the commercial vehicle I drove years ago - I was told not to shut it off until it was finished, and it seemed to always want to do it when I got back to the lot LOL. It went through the cycle at least once a day. I hope that has been changed in these new diesels. I just drive short trips, around town, and would hate to have to sit in the grocery stores parking lot waiting for it to quit before I could go inside.
That’s correct there are no deals right now the chip shortage is going to be causing issues for about two years but you’ll still be able to get a new car but you’ll have to wait a little while like you did. No reason to panic but there might not be great deals on new cars for a while
The dealership called me this week and bought back my 2020 suburban for $68k upgraded to the Yukon XL Denali Turbo Diesel for $79k - a no brainer - the chip shortage helped me in this case 👍
@@StealthAZ You got lucky. I did as well. Most people cannot even find a yukon at this point. Incidentally I could sell the Yukon Denali I just bought for around 12k more than I paid for it lol. But then i would be without a vehicle again.
I have a question. If someone is single and wants a full-size, truck-based, “big,” burly suv, why wouldn’t this Yukon be a good option? You said you would not recommend it to someone that fits that criteria. As opposed to what?
I'm pretty sure he meant that large SUVs in general may not make sense for single people, not just the yukon. But I guess if you like them then why not.
Nice looking SUV. But I’m really surprised that there are still new Diesel vehicles being released in the US. It’s like GM is moving backwards and forwards at the same time.
Why? There’s still plenty of application for this power train. 460 lb ft of torque out of a 3.0, when it takes a 6.2 v8 gas to achieve the same. This Duramax can tow the hell out of a boat or camper with the whole family piled in at good mileage per gallon.
i cant believe that this car costs 70-80k. i guess it has more space than german top SUVs, but i cant imagine ever buying something like this over those cars.
@@Zach-td5mb even if what you said was true (it is not), it still does not make any sense to purchase an 80k brand new car based on its hypothetical future reliability. reliability is just one part of the cost of ownership, in itself is not a virtue. it just means it will cost you less in repairs, in the same way that an efficient car will cost you less in fuel prices. in the end, if your wish is to own a car for a very long time and to drive it past 200k miles, then you really should not be purchasing a brand new car.
@@bubberlad Why would you not want to get a new car if you plan to drive it a while? I understand not wanting to spend this much, but if I was going to keep it forever I would buy it new in the first place.
@@alh06 First of all, it is all up to you, I cannot judge you on what you want to do. But in a pure objective manner, it would not make sense to purchase a new car if you wish to keep it for very long. If you plan to own a car for a very long time, you are evidently not concerned with "keeping up" with fresh models, which is perfectly fine. Furthermore, if you're seeking reliability in a fresh car already, then the second hand car is going to be reliable as well, and that reliability will be much more valuable on a used car, and that used car will presumably have proven its reliability as well. So, if you're not concerned with keeping up with new cars, and are planning on buying a reliable car already, then I cannot see any reason to pay so much more for the premium of a brand new car. Again, I will not and cannot judge you for your preferences, but to me pricing this car at 80k because it can go past 200k makes no sense.
@@bubberlad I understand your sentiment, but if you're going to be keeping a vehicle forever, the price difference doesn't really dismay how nice it is for at least a while to have a fresh running machine.
Great review, as usual . . . could you tell when the engine was in "regeneration" mode ? I'm thinking about buying a Yukon with this engine, but since most of my driving is just around town ( since I'm retired ) I wouldn't be happy if I had to wait at the store for 15 minutes while the engine was finishing the regen. If you drive a diesel for long distances, you probably wouldn't even know it was "regenning".
If you want the vehicle to be as high as it can be, you have to be in four-wheel LOW range - so, you'd have to change that first. You can NOT drive in the "exit" ( lowest setting ) You can set it to go down to that setting when you put it in park.
And a diesel question to supplement my comment below, two questions actually: I like the greatly improved mpg of the diesel, but I am concerned that I won't reliably and conveniently be able to find a diesel pump at a filling station when I need it, as I drive around my state locally, Utah, or the few states around me where I do so much skiing, or as I drive around the country. Any thoughts on this? And two, regarding sufficient power of the diesel, how well do you think it would do accelerating to pass other vehicles going up steep hills on highways when already driving 70+ mph? Thank you.

Awesome suv, hope can buy it at Indonesia..
its kind of crazy how expensive these full size GM SUVs are. to the point its hard to justify this over the X7/GLS
The X7s and GLSs that you actually would want are way more expensive. Remember, the germans rip you off with options
The problem is these come out to being a lot more practical size-wise and with towing. Also those will be much higher in price with the same options.
The X7 is not a roomy interior. Beautiful and fast nonetheless
Man, this thing has come a helluva long way from the 1995 GMC Suburban with the 6.5 diesel I had.
I really like your watch, and your personality!
This thing weighs nearly 6,000 lbs. Would hate to be in its path on a bad day.
@Bulls Nation no it doesn’t
My single complain about the exterior is the antenna off center over the driver side. Who thought that looked okay?
Its been like that for years. Pretty much a GM trademark on the Big SUVs.
This suv really is quite a dream.
This was my dream car, but it was not affordable, so I got the gmc acadia 2023 instead😢
Sooo satisfying when you floor the car
It is more fuel efficient but I would rather get the 6.2. 420 HP and 460 lb ft it’s great and it has good enough economy.
