#Chevy #Tahoe #Suburban
Very Impressive performance numbers, considering the size of the vehicles!
Those times are well off the tested times of the previous model which was in the 6.7 second range for 0-60. Probably not just due to elevation but test conditions. They are doing real world testing, where as these fast times are done in very ideal track conditions. However, the potential is there for much faster times.
Nope, that was awful because high hp were for towing, not for racing.
@@elgranfreezer9117 At sea level in proper conditions, they are pretty quick, something like 6.7 seconds. Most small sporty cars are around that range, that is respectable for a huge vehicle meant to two.
Not really. They’re actually quite slow especially for how large the engines are. A bmw X7 m50i is much faster than these and is still large and luxurious a long with something like a Range Rover SV autobiography
Bob Saget I know that’s what I thought. How do they manage to get such small members out of such huge engines
Hey Tommy, nice dig on your dad at 3:56... "I'm a few hundred pounds lighter, and so is the Tahoe" :D
Yeah, but Tommy did say that he rode on the "short" school bus. (Indirectly).
Just started my channel where I take trucks into the Canadian mountains and bag on them. I just want to make people laugh.
Literally made me lol!
Well played by Tommy on the weight, but did he also just admit to taking the short bus to school?
Lmaoooo
Yup that's how it seems lol
Beat me to it
I was about to make the same comment
4:42 if you came for the race and the race only
Arman Kilbeck thank you
Good test, But GM trucks do not like to launch with Traction control on and break torquing. They seem to take off easy. Try it this way.
AWD/Sport /TC off/ leave off idle hammer the gas and it will slam your head back.
Does Sport Mode really make any difference at WOT? I don't think so.

Imagine how well the Tahoe would sell if they just put the 6.2 as a option
It is
It is an option only on the High Country trim!
They did, but it's named the Yukon Denali. Pretty much the same vehicle with slight variations on styling.
Total bummer it didn't. For some reason I thought if was going to be an option on the z71 trim.
shannon murphy you do realize both only the Tahoe and suburban high country have the 6.2 right
Note to the editor: Try to avoid mixing runs. Its weird to see the two vehicles switch sides back and forth as they go down the track ;)
Good god I never realized how disorienting that can be when you are paying attention.
So excited to see the 3.0 Duramax in these for MPGs
Me too, seriously thought about trading the wife's sequoia for one but I just can't get past the fact thay the timing gear, fuel pump drive and belt driven oil pump are all at the rear of the engine, so if anything happens to the timing gear, fuel pump or oil pump the transmission has to be removed and the rear of the engine dropped so it can be torn down. Really was a let down because I was excited to be able to get an inline 6 diesel instead of a v6 crammed into the engine bay where you cant work on anything. Once that warranty is up you're shit outta luck unless you change vehicles every 3 years.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Keep the Sequoia for sure
@@Alviniscute definitely. Its been a great vehicle and is great for traveling.
These cars are just getting way too expensive......
It won’t change unless people stop financing and pay for their vehicle with cash, because then all of a sudden a lot of people won’t be able to buy a brand new car
Come on, it’s only an 8 year payment! You can afford that!
Did you miss the point where he mentioned it's no more expensive than the out going model. Silly guy 😜
The suburban is almost literally half the value of my home that is nuts for a depreciating asset. These prices can’t be sustained for much longer
@@samduran5180 Nobody pays MSRP. They added more features and more technology so of course the price will increase. You people have to stop bitching about it.
6.2L with more torque dominated this race. I have driven 5.3L and its a great engine as well.
I have the 2020 Tahoe with the 6.2. Nothing to compare to my GT350 but way more power and better handling than my last Tahoe. It's a joy to drive and combined with the 10 speed transmission it moves.
“Longer than my school bus”
must have been a sped student.
UA-cam in Europe going crazy with the DBX, meanwhile I’m stuck loving the looks of these new Tahoe. Man I love it.
Tommy with the huge burn in this video. Lol.
Actually 2 burns. One about his dad being heavy and the other about himself riding the short bus. That is why Tommy and his dad are by far the two best on this channel. Must be the chemistry. Lol
Please stop saying you guys are at a higher elevation because when yall say that I feel like the air gets thiner around me and i start gasping for air and i dont want to pass out.
...and so is the tahoe. My sides!
those rear Lower Control Arms hang so low its kinda disappointing.
i saw a tahoe in person today... omg did the rear look like an accessibility van... terrible job GM.
Yep
83k... is that what i heard??? that is insane
Its a large SUV... stop bitching about the price!
@@andybub45wasn't bitchin... i understand all the tech that are going into cars, their price is just going up much faster than most can afford in a timely manner...
@@bernardhammonds3718 I agree. These vehicles are american made junk that will break in 3 years. So much for your 83k investment...vehicles overall are poor investments.
YummierMussel I’ve had mine since 2015 without any problems 🤷🏽♂️
@@yummiermussel5331 in 2010 a top of the line one would cost 54k... thats like 65k now with inflation... i sure hope they last longer than 3 years lol
I'd like to see these run on an mpg loop to see how they compare although it's not quite an apples to apples comparison with the Suburban being heavier.
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
Whats the percentage of the other companies who sell large SUV in the US?
Man I wish GM would have upped the power on both these engines even if by another 20-30HP. 8th straight year with same power output.
Yup I think the 5.3 needs 400 and 6.2 needs 450.
Atleast the 6.2 still makes good numbers. The 5.7 in my ram felt kind of pokey compared to a Denali I test drove.
R2BA it makes good numbers but if your going to up the 5.3 there’s no reason to get the 6.2 if they are very close in hp/tq so you have to upgrade them both.
Kyle Burdick this is why i said both engines. As both engines have had same output since 2014 model year.
9663mu my last comment wasn’t directed at you, it was for R2BA
Can you do a drag race with the new Tahoe and the Ford expedition?
Expedition with its Mickey Mouse engineering...
@@MrTaffiny1 yea lol!
Done already with GMC 6,2. Ford toasted it.
@@MrTaffiny1 yep, had an expedition EL as a rental when my pickup was getting some body work done and we took it on a trip to Louisiana instead of the wife's sequoia since the body shop paid for it. Needless to say it was garbage. Shocked the shIt out of me everytime I got out of the vehicle, couldn't fold the third row seats with the second row slid back unless the backrest was upright, an issue our sequoia didnt habe. The 10 speed hunted gears and when I went to pass a car on a 2 lane road I punched it, there was a delay, followed by a bang, a forward surge like I let off the gas and a bunch of clicking/grinding and all kinds of transmission warning messages coming up on the screen. I had to hot the brakes and get back behind the slow poke inwas trying to pass. Made us happy we got a sequoia. As far as fuel economy, the city mileage was actually pretty close, but on the highway it did do quite better than our sequoia. Liked the power but overall the sequoia was better.
Those need a muffler delete to enjoy that sound.
I once saw a video where they raced a garbage truck against a concrete truck.
Drop an AFE cold air intake and a better exhaust and it really wakes these engines up.
Now plz do drag race bettween land cruiser lc500 and TAHOE
Who would win a foot race between me and a fatter me🤔🤔🤔 Thank God this video exists, that's such a complicated question.
the front ends and headlights look funky on the newer silverados, but i think the suburban and tahoe look sharp! 👌
In last 8 yrs i have owned 5.3 Suburban , 6.2 Yukon Xl, and 3.5 Expedition. All have pros and cons. but 5.3 pretty weak overall if towing or on steep grade.
Does the expedition feel the quickest
Wish general motors would put some badging on their engine covers or something. If I had the 6.2 Id like to be reminded when I pop the hood
I remember when the Suburban was actually a large vehicle. Suburbans and Tahoes these days are smaller than ever, have less room than ever, and yet cost as much as a house. These things look like Ford Explorers from the 90s.
Great video. I have missed the old format and the drag races.
What’s with the big plastic box in front of intake.
Y'all should buy a Banks iDash+AirMouse sensor to get an accurate air density reading.
The module will even calculate real world horsepower based on the humidity,temperature, and air pressure.
Who ever let this front end design come to market should be sent to a optometrist
as the saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement.
a truck has part of the vehicles length comprised of body or frame structure dedicated solely to cargo transport, these are not trucks, there total lengths are meant for vehicle functions and passenger/light utility use
Suburban 👊
I don't remember you guys ever being out at that off road dirt track with side by sides or anything. Would be cool next time u get a rzr to showcase the back 40 there at IMI
Do the Suburban VS. F150 Lightning, please.
7:54 did Tommy just admit to riding to school on the short bus when he was a kid?😀
Can you do a drag with Tahoe and suburban both 5.3 so people can know what performance they should expect to lose if they opt for the bigger size burban with base motor
yall should race your trail boss and tahoe. same engine/ different uses.
Tommy being brutal on dad 3:50 Nice trucks, just wonder how all the changes will hold up. Tommy you rode the short bus? They sure have not gone down in price, hope they sell though so there are some used ones to look at later maybe.
Excelent information about two of the best Chevrolet. Thanks
Can someone explain: why does the sea level effects the speed?
Lovely addition so a list of world's slowest drag races
Awesome Tahoe SUV if only it costed less. Maybe get certified pre owned in a couple years? 🤔
That would be the way to go
That 6.2L has always been a beast. Curious what the gear ratios are on the Sub and Tahoe. Great video guys.
I'm pretty sure my 2020 trail boss, 6.2L, has 3:42 gears. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to that. That 10 speed transmission really lightens the load.
3.23 are in 90% of 10 speeds
@@UltraSS-nj8kd yep, you're right. I was mixed up between that and my 87 suburban
@@skersfan6751 I own a 2020 Trail Boss LT with the 6.2. I'll check the sticker that's sitting in my lower glove box, but I'm pretty sure it's a 3.23 axle.
@@domin8ss yeah, it is. I misspoke
5.3L engine Reliable? yes Powerfu? eh Fast? Fk no
Agreed, it does depend on the setup though, out of all the Tahoe packages the setup of the z71 Tahoe has the most going against the acceleration. The police package Tahoe has the same power numbers as the civilian model but is about a full 1-1.5 second quicker in the 0-60 due to the suspension and chassis setup.
In our brand new Chevy Tahoe with a V 1370 engine that can produce more than 1370 mph
Not very quick. Wish they would do the rst (since that is their spot look ) in a bigger engine. Will rst or z71 ever get a bigger engine?
Sits through TFL ad just to get hit with a UA-cam ad 😩
Too bad you guys don't have your Model X anymore for a 7 seater vs 7 seater interior space comparison (and a drag race).
The 5.3 was always slow
But the best choice for fuel economy.
Not the PPVs though, they move a little differently
@@johnfilip3470 still lazy
@@stevenhanna6973 its a +2 ton suv, so you can't expect much. At that point just go buy a Trackhawk. But the 5.3 Tahoes move well considering the power to weight ratio. My ppv isn't speed gov. so from the factory it's already faster than the 6.2. Plus the 5.3s are easier to mod.
What does Paul say about the brake torque technique? My car responds better just hammering the gas.
Is your car fwd/rwd? Maybe that would make a difference I’m not sure though.
4:47....lane changes mid race? 😂
They should have both had the high country with the 6.2
I bet GM loves loaning their trucks to you guys!
Don’t know. You should ask them
The front grille only really looks good blacked out
the race starts here 4:43
I got one of those 2021 suburbans for a rental car after some dummy ran out in front of me and totaled my truck but anyways that suburban was very nice if gas wasn't about to hit $6 a gallon overall inflation was just ridiculous I might think about getting one
We have a very special vehicle in my station in Fontana this is our special unit 01 it's our brand new 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe high-speed chase Pursuit Interceptor utility unit sdv it has 1370 horsepower turbo Sonic speed engine and is the fastest vehicle in the fleet
Andre would win the best arm contest.
Again and again the 6.2 is the best motor! So it’s proven that you should get the 6.2 in the Red Trail Boss!
Unless you want to tow. The 5.3 tows more than the 6.2
83k? For American made plastic junk? Insane what the world of vehicles have come to. Vehicles depreciate so fast as it is...save your money and buy a property or something for that kind of money. Unbelievable.
but the front end styling though
Subjective...people like it. You don't. Deal with it and don't buy one.
@@MrTaffiny1 that was my opinion. i dont like it. apparently you do (bad taste). deal with it and stop trolling Karen. wear a mask
I wish Dodge and Chevy still made them to last ten years like they should"
Chevys do if you take care of them.
Wow, Case should model and flex some more 😅
You rode on the short bus when you were a kid? 7:51
Those prices are outrageous but cheaper then fords lol but also hella uglier pick you're poison lol.
They're going to keep going up because people will pay for it.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix sad to be honest
Wow even Toyota Tommy liked it
my mecanical 6 speed rav4 2022 makes 0-60 in 8.9 seconds with half the consumption of that V8
4:42 good start tohoe
I'm sick of general motors... and their game of dress up . These old a$$ engines in a dressed up NEWLY DESIGNED PEOPLE CARRIER 💩😡😤🤬
The "old ass engines" are super reliable. Ill take them any day over some EcoBoost. Real trucks have pushrods.
@@andybub45 they used to be reliable when America was building them
And so is the Tahoe. ZING!
I would still rather have the GMC Yukon Denali with a 6.2.
Nice, but HOLY SHIT I bought my fixer up house for less than the cheaper one. I'll stick with my old 04 Grand Cherokee. Not quite as big, still hits a 7 second 0-60 and a LOT cheaper.
Hate these videos. It’s always some dudes who are scared to stomp the pedal. Then they always go to some short road
i dont understan are yall in canda or colordao
Can you option the 6.2 into any of the Tahoe models?
Yes
GAtlas05 yeah I watched the TFL Off-road they did on the Tahoe after I watched this one and they said that you could. That’s the motor I’d get if I were to purchase one myself. Thanks for answering my question tho👊🏼
@@chrismunsey3185 No problem! I agree, that thing is a powerhouse and it sounds better than the 5.3. I had an Escalade with the 6.2 and it beat quite a few quick cars on the streets.... Don't tell anyone :)
You cannot get the 6.2 in the Tahoe z71
CDB on the TFL OFF-ROAD channel about the Tahoe Z-71 they said that you could.
Wow the price
lol this race is dumb the Tahoe would win if it had the 6.2 like the suburban
Ford expedition VS tahoe 2021
DONT NEED A FASHION SHOW TO BUY YOUR STUFF!!
Could we get chevy vs ford in these sizes 😁😁😁😁
Oh wow, a 5.3L....yawn.....wake me up when it hits 50mph.
Man I wish gm would pair the 5.3 and 6.2 with a small turbocharger.
What they need to do is make a 3.8-4.0 v8 and turbocharge it to beat the ecoboost. I guarantee it will get better real world economy because that v8 won't be under boost as much as that little v6, and any turbocharged engine under boost burns more fuel than a N/A engine because when a turbocharged engine is under boost it has to run rich to avoid pinging and burning a hole in a piston or head gasket. A 4.0 v8 will maintain highway speed better without boost and thus will get better fuel efficiency since it will be under boost less.
No we dont need that. That would break the reliability
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix I dont want a bunch of junk turbo engines in my trucks.
@@andybub45 neither do I, but that would make them not only competitive, but class leading.I like the 5.7 in the tundra myself. Yeah its a gas hog, but it also develops its max 401lb/ft torque at a lower rom than any other n/a v8. Plus no cyoinder deactivation or direct injection to carbon up the valves. Just an honest good v8 engine without all the tech overload and wizardry. That and the 6.2 from GM are very good engines. The 5.3 is weak but the new 10 speed definitely helps keep the power going and makes the most out of it. Toyota needs to update their transmission. I personally think 10 gears is too much, especu based on my experience having an expedition el as a rental vehicle. After all the shenanigans we had from that thing it really made me glad we bought a sequoia. The new Tahoe is really looking good though, and as much as I want that diesel the fact that all the timing gear, oil pump and belt, fuel pump and chain are all at the back of the engine makes it a deal breaker. If you have any issues with those things the transmission has to come out and the rear of the engine has to be dropped and disassembled. What a letdown. I was really excited the GM brought in a proper inline 6 till I found this out.
Turbos last for years in lots of vehicles without an issue. For example diesel trucks these days especially GM's trucks. Tried and true reliable is great I agree just like the 350 but all things must change especially to take the lead. It can be done and made reliable.
Pfff so we assume a Tahoe Z whatever does 60 in high 7s to high 8s? A stock Odyssey can pull faster then that. I’m all for the big 3 Americana, but they have to be competitive.
Why are they so slow? Any new german SUV won't be slower than 7 sec 0-60. For example the new X7 M50i. It has a 4.4L V8 with a curb weight of 5700 lbs and it does 0-60 in just 4.7 sec. How come these American SUVs with similar engines, weight, and price don't even come close to the Germans?
The European cars are tiny cars
These are beautiful asf
2021 Tahoe 6.2Liter V8 will destroy Suburban V8 6.2
The prices on these have gotten maybe just a little silly
They are no more expensive than the out going model 😉
And packaged just as poorly. GM leaves things out that you think you'd get at certain price points. For example, a $60k Silverado Trail Boss LT (which GM refers to as 2LT) that doesn't get GPS as an option.
@@domin8ss 🤔 are you sure about that, gps is an OnStar thing and all of them come equipped with OnStar
@@samduran5180 Yes. GM has 3 radio options in the Silverado right now. They are IOR, IOS, and IOT. IOT is the only one that has GPS. IOT radios are only available in LTZ and High Country. IOS was upgradeable to have navigation in 2019, but GM abandoned the software upgrade needed to be downloaded by a dealership after installing a SD card into the center console. The dealership 2 miles from my house is sitting on 3 SD cards they can't sell because they can't complete the upgrade. The OnStar navigation is not map based on the IOS radios. It tells you the direction to go and the distance until each step. GM is now relying on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the navigation in IOS radios. I don't know much about the IOR radios because I don't have one. The IOR radio is in the WT and has the smaller 7 inch screen. I do know it's not upgradeable without changing the whole unit. I hate Android Auto. I usually listen to music on my phone through my car speakers via Bluetooth and the Samsung Music app. Android Auto locks me out of the Samsung Music app, and forces me to use Google's music app. Google's music app is stuck on the same playlist I created in Samsung Music, and won't let me change it. It's very frustrating. Fortunately, I found a company in Colorado that has a solution using GM parts. Right now it's a $850 upgrade ($350 of which is refunded when you send in a core). With all that said, Google Maps looks great on the IOS screen, and some people have told me they prefer it over the GM navigation because of free map updates, Google constantly updates with traffic status, and Waze is now implemented into Google Maps.
Its called inflation.
why do the engines output so few power compared to a 5.0 Mustang engine or a Camaro engine? (explain for an European pls ;) )
Truck engines are detuned a lot, since they're assumed to be under heavier loads, and aren't built for speed, but durability, etc.
More displacement (the 5.0 reading is the engine displacement in liters, just in case someones reading who does not know that), doesn't equal more horsepower (work the engine can do). Countless other factors that affect power come into play such as compression, air/fuel ratios, and weight. For example Ferrari has a V6 that is 3.9 L and makes 660 hp.
Because their made for towing and pushing a lot of weight that’s the same 5.3 that’s been in the Chevy Silverado since like 20 years it’s kinda like dodges 5.7
The 6.2 is detuned for obvious reasons tho they are for more day to day things not rly revved out like the 6.2 in the vette or camero so they probably have a weaker tune just because it’s not gonna be pushed like a vette or camero so they prefer it to last longer over just hp numbers
One of the things that really helps the 5.0 is the fact that is a DOHC engine. (Double Overhead Cam with 4 valves per cylinder vs the 2 valves per cylinder and push rods on the 5.3 and 6.2). This is why the Coyote can make equivalent or even more hp, even with less displacement and arguably has the best stock heads of any domestic mass produced engine right now. DOHC is especially advantageous when you add boost and running higher rpms.
Push rod engines have their advantages also so not hating on them but I hope that answers your question.
/watch?v=PXD_AvKbCMg Love this guy and that vid will help you understand the point I'm making.
You forgot to put on googles and stick tampons up your ears.
Only thumbs down can justify lack of that "idiots safety" features...
Have you got any self esteem guys?!?!
My cadillac escalade 2004 6.0l is faster????
Tell me why a old 03 Tahoe will smoke tf out them with jus 280 ho
9.73 sec 0-60....Ouch.
8.73 sec 0-60 in normal elevation.
That is super slow for 2021!
Wow big disappointment
