Concerns with new generation Yukon

My 2021 Tahoe LT handles great. It is big improvement over my 2012 Yukon SLT. The new IRS is a game changer.

Have you considered the Navigator? More horse power better fuel mileage, some say better interior and power running boards aren't extra.

Thank you for keeping this on track.

Yes I usually don't let these opinions totally sway me. They are good to know, but if I want it...its usually coming home...

What about consumer reports?
I figured what the consumer report said, that many of the issues were already fixed by now and only affected some of them (Yukons anyway).

I have some family members always tossing their 2 cents in. Ridiculous how they want to argue over a vehicle that is not even here yet. Lol. They don’t bother to read forums of how much people love their vehicles. -_-

Funny. Buick is GM vehicle. Chevy —> GMC—> Buick —> Cadillac all the same. Maybe they have some reason to separate them, they should all have the same reliability? And don’t these big boy SUVs (Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade - or the 1st two at least) all come off the same assembly line? I think I saw that Tahoe is “more reliable” than the Yukon. Still makes me wonder why when they’re all the same parts just a different face. Lol.

Just had my escalade towed to the dealer - appears to be lifter and rod 3k miles. Always something...

I’ve had my Yukon AT4 for around three weeks and absolutely love it!

Dude most test drive vehicles to see if they like the way the vehicle feels and handles. So why is what I said “highschool(ish)”

Valid point. I test drive to “see if I like the ride” and to “see if I like the size” much like I did in high school

Have had my wife’s 21 Tahoe HC for about a month and my 21 Silverado HC for 8 months, love both. That was coming from ‘17 Premiers in both (friend is a Chevy dealer lols).

The 21 Tahoe is leaps ahead of the 17 in build quality, finish, ride quality, interior space. The 17 was pretty aggravating at times with the buffeting and the 6 speed auto was archaic. Interior finish and space utilization is leaps and bounds over the 17, no other way to put it. I couldn’t fit a Burb in the garage, the new Tahoe checked every box. No mechanical or electrical issues so far, been flawless.

The 21 Silverado same thing (only adding that here bc same platform and longer sample size for me)…12k miles, not a peep. Best truck I’ve owned. 17 had a lifter collapse under warranty at 25k miles, leaky XM antenna into the cab, couple other things. 21 has been perfect.

So 9 months combined ownership, no problems at all.
