    Predictions: Nov/Dec 2025 Incentives

    I checked Classic Chevy's website and they appear to be advertising $8k off MSRP on some Tahoe and Suburban trims.

    2025/2026 6.2’s now failing.

    That's why we went with a 2025 F150 Lariat with the 5.0 Coyote and 6.5 foot bed. We were about to pull the trigger on a GMC Sierra 1500 SLT with the 6.2 but multiple poor GMC dealership experiences where their numbers didn't add up, we ended up ordering our F150 via Granger Ford. In...

    Predictions: Nov/Dec 2025 Incentives

    I think it's only a matter of time for all trims. My preference would be Premier and then Z71. I'd go with a Z71 if they had ventilated seats in it.

    Predictions: Nov/Dec 2025 Incentives

    Looks like that has changed quickly. They're advertising about 5% off MSRP on 2026 models now in early November. Imagine what it's going to be in 2-4 months if the automotive market continues to soften.

    GM dropping CarPlay

    This. Or GM can allow the car to tether off someone's cell phone and not need to force a subscription on folks. (But there's no $$$ in that.). Maybe, but I think this question has been somewhat answered by GM already. They backed off the idea of removing CarPlay yet again because they don't...

    GM dropping CarPlay

    Also, why does a car have to have its own cellular modem. Why can't it just tether off your mobile phone's connection and thereby not need a subscription service / its own cellular modem? (The answer is obvious... GM wants the subscription revenue.)

    GM dropping CarPlay

    ... or maybe people will just shift towards brands that haven't eliminated Apple CarPlay / Android Auto.

    Predictions: Nov/Dec 2025 Incentives

    Classic Chevy out of DFW has about 90+ Suburbans and 180+ Tahoes in stock. They're advertising almost $11k off MSRP Tahoes and Suburbans. Eventually, there's going to be geographic market arbitrage.

    2026 Yukon concerns?

    The bolded text is a bit misleading wouldn't you say. If it were a naturally aspirated I6, I'd agree with you. But show me any turbocharged diesel I6 that isn't cluttered with some type of plumbing or emissions component around it. I don't even think someone could make the argument that a...

    2026 Yukon concerns?

    Really? I think it's going to be a trade off. Having owned so many vehicles with packed engine bays with turbocharged engines, it's refreshing to have a NA v8 because it's easier to get to a lot more components without having to deal with all the plumbing of a turbocharged engine. A...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    Interesting. Major volume Chevy dealerships seem to be doing $4000-8000 discounts on their websites. I think those discounts are only going to get larger going forward as the luster wears off the first refreshed model year.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    ... the bolded part is my point. I think the failure rate of the 6.2L for all issues (to include issues outside of the bottom end problems such as lifter failures, etc.) is much higher than 3%. Whatever that true number is... that's already a pretty high failure rate for any engine.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I thought the failure rate is 3% which is a pretty high failure rate from this issue alone. Imagine aggregating this failure with all the other types of failures. Wonder what the true failure rate for all cases for the 6.2 would be.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Taking delivery of a 2025 F150 with the 5.0 in early July from Granger Ford. Decided to go that route instead of a Sierra 1500 with a 6.2 because GM seems to not be able to make a reliable NA V8 engines these days. It’s more of a buyer’s market for 1/2 ton pickups now and the 2025 is a refresh...

    RV Towing

    You guys should check out the BMW X7 forum. These guys think their X7 tows better than properly configured 1/2 ton (or larger) pickups - and thereby - better than extended wheel base 1/2 ton based SUVs: https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2177045 "You can't cheat physics."

    24/25 Diesel vs Gas Reliability

    You can probably make most engines go a million miles as long as there are no limits to what you would repair/maintain. Yup, but that's largely the fault of GM for their execution. Other domestic brands as well as GM make reliable NA V8 engines like the 5.3L L84 and the 5.0L Coyote. It's a...

    24/25 Diesel vs Gas Reliability

    For long term reliability and cost of repairs/maintenance, the 5.3 gas should be lower than the 3.0. I think we can pretty much rule the 6.2 out now with all the problems GM has been having. The lifters on the 5.3 could be problematic over time, but I feel there's less data of the 3.0 outside...

    If you didnt have a Yukon/Suburban/Escalade, what would be your next choice?

    Going back to my BMW roots because I'm planning to order a 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i for my mom. We were considering either a 2025 4Runner Limited or a 2025 GX550 Premium Plus, but the GX550 Premium Plus market selling price ends up being $10-15k more than the way we would option a BMW X5 and it's...

    2025 Order Pricing

    Agreed. That's why we decided to go with a 1/2 ton pickup this time around. We felt it made more sense to see how the SUV market develops in the next 1-3 years for our next purchase. Now that we have a 1/2 ton pickup, we may not need an 1/2 ton based extended wheel base SUV. I'm also...

    2025 Order Pricing

    When we were in the process of ordering a 2025 Sierra 1500 SLT with the 6.2, we contacted both. Rivard refused to provide a quote and their dealer fees were very high (Florida). They said they would need to order the car first and would provide a quote after the vehicle was ordered - this...
