Why General Motors even produces the Yukon is beyond me. It ought to be on their short list of vehicles to dump.

I agree. You could say that about GMC in general. Badge engineering costs them very little, and people are still buying them...easy money for GM!

Hey Steve! I know this is off-topic, but I had no issues ordering and shipping a complete escalade roof rack for a tahoe directly from GM. Looks like your part is back in stock. :Handshake:

Until 2009 or 10, the Denali and Escalade were the only ones with the 6.2L 6 speed combo...

So between yukon and Tahoe, not much besides rear appliques, front end and taillights... I personally like the front end on the tahoe 10 times better than yukon, but I like the ride and engine/trans combo of my denali, which was not available in the tahoe...

Yeah, there's one of those too, but I was referring to the Yukon Territory in Canada, as in West of Alaska, and the largest Territory of Canada.

I know but I read somewhere online that they got the name from the river. Not sure if the article was serious though.

Yuks are sexier :D

x2... Except the new one's in my opinion. Their front ends are ******* horrible. Should've stayed with the Sierra front ends.

I was always of the opinion that Yukons had more of a " feminine" front end compared to the Tahoe (NNBS.)

On the flip side I prefer the Sierra to the Silverado. I work at a Chevy dealer also (not that that means anything.)

I agree about the feminine front end, that's why I was hellbent on a Yukon, it's more "blingy". I love our Silvy, but prefer the Sierra, as well. I like the squared off front end better.

He said up until 2009 I figure that covers 2009 Tahoe :shrug:

"up until 2009" implies that the specific year (2009) and the following years afterwards. And after 2009, the 6.2L was available in the Silverado and Sierra pickups, which is where I thought he was going with his comment.

You forgot to quote the rest of his post where he says "but I like the ride and engine/trans combo of my denali, which was not available in the tahoe... "

That is specifically where my reply is intended as it WAS available in the Tahoe.

You have become very argumenative lately Yates, you ok?

This is why Yates likes them more :deal:

I always yearn for the GM positive feedback from Mr Steven :hands:

far from holy, i don't even go to church. Although I should... wife being Catholic and all and trying to get me to go with her. Maybe I'll start.

But I'm not always correct, I think you are just miscommunicating/misunderstanding. And I also think you are mad because I haven't sent you a formal invitation to the house warming party. It's something we'll have to overcome, but with faith, hope, and love, we'll make it!
