What's the main differences between the 2007+ Tahoes and Yukons besides the front bumper,grille,headlight,hood,fender, and tail lights? I'm seriously thinking about getting a Yukon over a Tahoe now. Please give me some feedback.

Post pictures of your Yukons.

Thanks,

D - The Yukons have the rear appliques (D-pillars?) in black, regardless of body color. Personally, I don't like it, and I don't get it. Also, the Yukons have a different, curved body side molding (which I also don't like). What I DO like are their standard 20" (6 spoke?) wheels. They look good to me (better than my stock 5-spokers). And then there are some interior differences.

Get the Tahoe!!! LOL

Is your truck an SLE? If so we have almost identical trucks. And yeah the 20s aren't standard mine had the 17s from the factory.

Hey Kirk, well you know whatever I get it will have to be black black black!:Handshake: I'm like you I don't like the body side molding but that's nothing a little dental floss and goo gone can't take off lol! I'm planning on putting my wheels from my Silverado on a Yukon if I go that route.

What is the difference in the interior that your talking about?

Is the bolt pattern the same on a Yukon as the Tahoe? 6x5.5 with a high 30ish offset?

How does the chrome hood trim piece come off? If I go with a Yukon it will have to get painted black!:D This is how I plan on making a Yukon look if I go with one.

No doubt about it, that Yukon is sick!

Ok, so the 20"s are an "upgrade" -- I was just saying that they're OEM, and I prefer them to my "upgrade" wheels. LOL

D -- I think the wood is darker on the Denalis. Also, there may be some more wood in different areas (like maybe on the wheel? Not sure though..).

Just get it done already! HAHA

The obvious has been mentioned; grill, tail lights, and the applique above the rear taillalmps. Interior wise, they're similar. Different trim levels warrant different dash wood/brushed alum. scenarios. I searched for both Suburban's and Yukon XL's last summer, not really caring which one I ended up with, but I prefer the looks of the GMC over the Chevy. There are fewer of them too.

Yukons are less common than the Tahoe. I really think both are good, I like the Yukon applique above the LP better than the Tahoe one, which is why I changed mine to the Yujon one. I don't like the DRL/LB and HB design the Yukon has compared to the seperate bulb system the Tahoe is running. Apart from these I could car less about the other differences, I looked at both when I got my Tahoe!

Besides your trim level having the jumperseat the only difference to me looks like the brushed aluminum radio bezel and the silver steering wheel peices. I believe those came off the new body style Silverados.:Handshake:

Those are dealer pics. My Yukon the only difference is the Silver Bezel and Steering wheel controls like you mentioned.
