    Baby got new shoes

    100% agree, great choice. At 35K km's I finally got rid of the OEM Bridgestones, and went with the Michelin Defenders. Night and day difference for the positive. Great tires.

    If you won the lottery and you could have any truck, what would you choose?

    I would hire the guy from "Bitchin Rides" to combine a 2020 Escalade with a 2024 Escalade. Exterior of the 2020, and interior of the 2024.

    Leaking Shark Fin

    Super, super common. I had to get mine fixed (twice). When I delivered my Yukon (2016) to the first dealership, there was a nearly new Sierra/Silverado next to me. I asked what it was there for, and the answer was "water leak from the shark fin". And the loaner Suburban they gave me also had...

    Service Brake Assist Message

    Monday morning I got the same "Service Brake Assist" warning message. Brake pedal felt strange. A lot more pedal travel, and the pedal was pulsing like the anti lock brake system was activating. Drove to work, and the entire time the problem persisted. Drove home, same situation. Called...

    Passive Entry Driver's Side Door

    Before you do anything, replace the battery in your key fob. I was having this exact issue (driver door handle entry button would not work, but all other buttons would work fine). I did some on line research, and replacing the fob battery was recommended. The reason given was, apparently the...

    How do you guys like the 15-20's?

    Very satisfied with ours. Had to replace the battery and top up the AC. Have a very intermittent "service rear camera system" message come up about once every 6-12 months, while camera system works fine. No other issues. I can't think of anything (aside from the panoramic roof) the new ones...

    Crazy "Used" 2021 Tahoe Z71 Price

    A coworker of mine just sold two cars, to the same Ford dealership. They gave him $5K more than he paid for his 2019 Jeep, and gave him only $500 less than what he paid for his 2020 Expedition. He drove the Jeep for nearly 2 years, and made money! So much for the old "lost 30% as soon as I...

    Anyone look at jumping to the new platform or you waiting?

    The looks of the 2021+ initially didn't appeal to me, but I'm slowly (very slowly) getting used to them. Of the three, the Tahoe is the best looking to me. Escalade is second, and Yukon last. The interiors are very nice, and I'm sure the IRS improves the ride. Nothing about the new ones...

    Dark Sky Metallic

    No. Dark Sky Metallic looks identical to Cadillac's Shadow Metallic. We were looking at two new Cadillac CT5 cars yesterday, one was Shadow Metallic. The Shadow Metallic was a very blue grey. I was comparing it to the other CT5, painted Satin Steel Metallic. It was very obvious that the...

    Adding badges, yes/no?

    Looks good, and looks like it should have come from the factory that way. Maybe not with the 6.2L badge, perhaps, but certainly with the High Country logo.

    Small GMC light (foot kick location)

    Exact same issue happened on my wife's 2019 Cadillac XT4. Fixed under warranty, light is clear and sharp now.

    Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

    Yes. I must like these vehicles, since I've owned three of them (2005, 2009 and 2016) all white, all SWB, all Denails.

    2021 Yukon XL Illuminated GMC Logo

    Me too. I would like to add this lighted GMC logo to our 2016 Denali.

    Is this vehicle TOO big?

    I've found our SWB Denali to be too big at times, particularly when parking (spots here are getting narrower and narrower as developers try to maximize their returns); I'm also extremely careful about underground parking (unless it is a clear 7' tall, I won't even attempt going inside). I find...

    VLand (eBay) Escalade Style Tail Light Issue

    Really cool to see an Escalade in Europe, it must be an attention-grabber from other motorists/pedestrians. We lived in West Germany in the early 1980s, and American cars were very rare to see over there then.
