2025 Tahoe High Country - 6.2L or 3.0 Turbo Duramax LZO?

[genestoy]

I would pick the diesel. I currently have a Silverado HC with the 3.0 diesel.
I am waiting for GM to let you get BOTH the diesel and super cruise in a Tahoe.
They sent me an email in March saying I could do that, but every time I go GM's "build & price", as soon as I add super cruise, it deletes the diesel

That is weird, my new 2025 Yukon Elevation has the 3.0 diesel and super cruise.

It might be GM's "Build & Price" website needs to be updated, or GM allocating super cruise to GMC to increase their sales?

For a Silverado, I have to buy the highest trim, HC, to get super cruise.

I'll see if "Build & Price" lets me build a Yukon.

Thanks for posting

I once owned a 1993 Suburban LT and currently own a 2002 Suburban LT (love my suburban - great car with low mileage) both with 5.3L engines which have been perfectly satisfactory for my purposes. Both have had 42 and 31 gallon tanks respectively and used 87 octane fuel. I live in N.C. and travel to the beach and the mountains. I plan to buy a 2025 Tahoe High Country to be used as our main traveling car but will still drive in town for errands. I am torn between a 6.2L with premium gas recommended (understand the ‘21-‘24 problems with 6.2L have been addressed) and the new 3.0L turbo Duramax diesel. My son-in law strongly recommends the diesel (for gas mileage) but having never owned a diesel, I am not sure. I doubt I would trailer anything but if did, it would not be very heavy. I will probably average about 9-10,000 miles per year. I must decide between the 6.2L gas engine and the 3.0L diesel engine. I would appreciate any recommendations. Many thanks!

I HAVE A 2021 YUKON XL 3.0 SLT 45,000 ON IT IT IS AWESOME TOTAL AVG MILEAGE SINCE NEW IS 22.5 MPG GOING TO TRADE FOR 2025 SOON YUKON ELAVATION XL 3.0. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT HAVE 1 SUB 1 TAHOE 6.2 HIGH COUNTRY DRIVE BOTH OF THEM ALL THE TIME THEY RUN VERY WELL WITCH ONE IS MORE POWERFUL ? THEY ARE EQUAL IN POWER AN EXCERATION MILEAGE NO THEY DO 13-14

No, mine has the "Super Cruise and Trailering" package which was $3495

I have had both the 6.2 and the 3.0 diesel in a Yukon Denali. The 3.0 diesel is by far the best choice from my experience. 6.2 gives about 18 to 20 mpg while the diesel gives 27 to 30 mpg. The diesel is much smoother when accelerating and very quiet and responsive. The 6.2 has more passing power as it accelerates faster but unless you’re racing your Tahoe, you don’t need it. I am trading in my 2023 Yukon Denali diesel on a new 2025 Denali diesel. The 3.0L diesel is a real winner in my opinion!

Thanks!! I am trying to order the diesel now. Appears to be an allotment issue.
