Rented a 2015 Tahoe and drove from the mountains of Colorado through the National Parks of Utah, the desert of Nevada, all the way west to San Francisco. Did a whole bunch of none-pavement roads like the valley of the Gods - it seemed like the Tahoe never got pushed to its limits. It's a great vehicle and was so much fun to drive.
I watch this episode over and over again. Why aren't there more off-road videos of Tahoe/Yukons??
I just drove my 2016 Tahoe Z71 on the beach in the Outer Banks of NC. This SUV conquered everything thrown at it. It went up soft sand hills effortlessly.
You're quoting power figures from the old 5.3, the one in the new Tahoe makes 355hp and 383 ft.lbs. if I'm not mistaken
2020 Tahoe - use it for anything, weekend rides, road trips to the Appalachians, the most comfortable ride ever, great through snow, it is like riding a plane wherever we go, we love it ! Looked at the Cayene and nah, it does not cut it
I love how knowledgeable you are. It makes your videos even better, if that's possible.
We have a 1999 gmc suburban with 250,000 miles and are expecting four more years out of it. It is equoped with four wheel drive and we have taken it out 5 times. All at the river bottom in phoenix, az with fine grade sand. We have had it for 11 years and she still runs strong. Thats why we are chevy only owners.
I have a 2010 Lincoln Navigator L and I almost never take it off road but I do go onto the occasional dirt or rock path but not actually off-roading. Last year my town in Tipton Flooded and or driveway was almost 2 feet deep in water and I drove the Navigator right thru it no problem and that's why I LOVE it!
We recently bought a 2015 Tahoe LTZ with all the bells and whistles, and it's a hell of an suv, comfortable, plenty of room for our family, all the power outlets you'd ever need for road trips and things, heated front and rear seats, and it's not a sports car by any means, but it definitely has passing power when you need it, it's a great family vehicle for more active people who maybe need to pull a camper trailer or boat trailer on the weekends and still want more room than a pickup truck can provide.
I love my 02 Tahoe Lt 4x4, it's my second one, my first was a 97 Lt 4x4. They are great vehicles, very safe, they are universal, very spacious, it's just me and my wife and our 5 year old and it suits us just perfect. I can tow a car trailer, pull boats, haul 9 people, play in the mud and snow, has plenty of power and they are very easy to work on, the LS platform is an awesome platform. Thank you GM!
I drive a 2000 Lexus LX, it's a body on frame, basically a luxury Toyota Land Cruiser. It's designed more for off road than on road. I take it on off road trips to national parks and trails about 2 - 3 times a month. During the summers, we go on weekend camping trips about 4 days long, pack everything in it.
2004 Yukon XL Denali. It turned into my commuter car for now, but I got it for pulling a trailer, hauling water and construction supplies to my property, and carrying 8 passengers (even though it's just me and my daughter haha). We just went off road this weekend to some rural land I own in southern Oregon. I found this video while looking up lift kits and heavy duty shocks and struts for the Yukon.
My '04 Yukon XL is used off-road, mostly washed out dirt roads and light rock crawling, but it has been mudding and on some more severe terrain. It also tows a camper, a rooftop tent, and a number of other things. It used to be used for all kinds of skiing trips through deep snow(sometimes blasting through over 2 feet of snow), but hasn't been tortured as much since I moved to AR. Now it's mostly just a very muddy parking lot(tons of fun to slide around in) and towing light trailers and the camper. You could say I am taking it easy on it after its 10th birthday. Even with how much it's been tortured it still only has a few spots of rust visible through the paint(rear wheel wells) and no holes, 121,000 miles, some dents, and some scrapes. It ate a transmission at 90,000 and a transfer case motor at 100,000, other than that it's needed no major items. Next thing I'm going to have to do is the diff cover(almost rusted through) and all of the suspension bushings and body mounts. They're dry-rotted and squeaky and the rig does not feel like it used to. Might do a slight lift while I'm at it, but probably will stay stock.
first time i run through your channel, i have to admit your reviews are quite good!
I might add, along with the HP & trq correction on the new 5.3l, the Tahoe is usually used as a family, long road trip, type vehicle. I had one, 2008 5.3l, and the primary use was just that; which was an extremely pleasurable, comfortable vehicle for the entire family with gear, on those long trips. The body-on-frame durability and torque of a truck surpasses minivans in a lot of cases.
My Dad owned a previous gen tahoe and mostly took it offroading and ling trips everyday almost! And the car was supreme awesomness and just took my heart, its a pure awesome car and later on we sold it to get the escalade previous gen and still mostly doing offroading and long trips and compared to tahoe escalade had some flaws like the offroad gear switch was missing and 22's really didnt work well but still non the less the engine was better than tahoe's and it performed very well
We use both our Denali XL and our Suburban to travel; quite extensively. We left town with 5,100 miles on the Denali, on a three month vacation, and returned with 19,871 on it. The main benefit of the full size SUV is comfort, cargo capacity and power. Loaded with a ton of luggage and a family of six (two people per seating row), it's hard to beat that kind of roominess and performance.
Thanks for this thorough, comprehensive review - and an interesting cultural/historical background to the location! That's my biggest bugbear with a lot of nicely-shot car videos - beautiful scenery and no info given on where it is, so I'm left trying to scan road signs and wayside buildings for any clue. Incidentally, when you say "Imperial gallon", do you mean the 7-pint American gallon or the 8-pint British gallon?
Excellent video M, I think you are the first one who actually properly tested the new Tahoe ... Motortrend & Jalopnik reviews were the worst ... Thank you M!
First Generation of Suburban was 1933, with the rename to "Carryall Suburban" in 1935. So definitely more than 50 years, more like 75+
