    2026 Tahoe with 6.2, im all good?

    It will be interesting to see 5 years from now if there are any more failures occurring. My guess is that the vast majority of failure will have happened by then.

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    Cadillacs, yes, only way they come. Tahoes not even close. A check of inventory within 250 miles of me shows 70% of all Tahoes with the 5.3L. 24% for the 6.2L. Yukons use more 6.2L's , mostly because of Denali trim, but even there it is 55% 6.2L, 40% 5.3L. Diesels are 5-6%. The reality is 5.3L's...

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    Uh, simple math. Diesel is $5.90 here, regular is $4.20. That's a 40% difference. Been that way for a long time here. That's why I asked where they lived. So a 5.3L 4WD Tahoe rated at 20 mpg highway by the EPA means a diesel would have to get 28 mpg just to break even. EPA rates them at 26......

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    Some say the 6.2L bottom end issues have not been fixed, but I have not seen any real proof that is true. Where do you live? Here in WI premium is $1.10 more than regular (I would only use premium in the 6.2L) and diesel is a full $1.50 more than regular, pretty much negating any advantage the...

    Unfortunately I made a comment on a 6.2L FB page and it keeps showing up in my feed. The comments are amusing though.

    2026 Tahoe with 6.2, im all good?

    It's funny, now I am seeing people (not here) claiming they are on their 5th or 6th engine, that GM is having them sign NDA's to get a new engine, and even one who said they put a 5.7L (yes 5.7L) in their truck by mistake. Of course when you ask for proof.....

    Well that was me you are talking about. I went off data that was published on the Honda website and elsewhere. And FWIW, a 2019 Tahoe only has 95 cu ft of cargo space, barely more than a Pilot. Also, if you would have read the posts in context, the to each his own comment was about Durango...

    I think they are better looking than most SUV's today. To each their own. Try to find a better value for under $50K right now.

    Dodge Durango's are a screaming deal right now. A GT plus lists at just over $45K. Hemi is $2K more. And dealers are dealing as well. Not to mention 0% for 36 months.

    He got ripped off. I paid $38K for my CPO 2019 Yukon XL w/45K miles 2 years ago.

    First 100+ mile drive on the Tahoe

    Funny you mention that. Saw a R/T go by yesterday towing a 2 axle RV trailer. Looked just fine! My neighbor used to tow a 5500 lb horse trailer from Wisconsin to Florida several times a year with her 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hemi. Never had an issue.
