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

Its weird saying that their is only -1- GM engine that is worth anything... and its a 4cyl... The TurboMaxx in the Silvy's. I have completely given up on GM I think. I figure about 9 more months on my Rivian, and I will be getting another truck. Nothing wrong with the Rivian other than the drivers seat is not comfortable for my large ass.

I would not say that.

I would not say that.

I rephrased my statement... There is only -1- gasoline engine from GM.

Thankfully our engine looks to be built 10 days after the reported population, but this won't help it's value. Toyota, unlike most all other manufacturers, generally has great residual value on their products.

A few weeks ago, I saw a new Range Rover... ( Not sure the model, but it was the 'big one'..... A hybrid I think?
It was beautiful..... I was shocked..... $ 65k !! ??

I have 2 JLR products ... and while mine have been decent. Thier track record is abysmal. They make GM look like Toyota....

I saw a new Tahoe in traffic today. It looked as if there was no cargo area in back. The distance from the rear door to the tailgate was really short compared to my 2011. Why even bother if you can only get some groceries in back. Cargo area is important, to me anyway.

I’ve had the last three generation of Gm SUV’s. And I think my 2010 had the worst use of space compared to the 2017 and my 2024. And the 17 and 24 at least had food flat seats compared to having to flip them up and it takes up even more room.

The fold flat seats are just an illusion created by the floor being raised up by the storage compartment, so you’ve lost height, and it isn’t flat, so all your stuff rolls out when you open the liftgate. I wouldn’t call that better at all. It is very inconvenient to have to take the third row out of mine, but, at least, once I do, the floor is actually flat.

Before I bought my 2024 Tahoe space and cargo were top issues. I am 6’2” not very heavy but I usually haul a lot of gear and sports equipment. Fishing tackle and water sports equipment.
I hate to go to Home Depot but for some reason I am there couple times a month with carts full of bulky stuff.

The Suburban/Yukon XL was my first choice but they would barely fit in my garage next to my wife’s Honda.

I drove almost every big SUV out there and the Tahoe/Yukon had the most cargo capacity by looking at it and the actual specs. Expedition looks almost identical but the numbers have the Tahoe with more cubic feet. All the GM trucks have gotten a lot bigger over the years and that’s what the customer wants!

I have a lot of friends with older Tahoe/Yukon and the GMT is the strongest IMO but not as big or quiet/smooth as the 2024. Also the driver compartment on the new GM and Expedition feels massive compared to older models and especially to the Sequoia which had the smallest cargo and the smallest driver/passenger area.

I really wanted to like the Sequoia as the older versions and the older Land Cruiser were great all around vehicle with strong solid V8 motor.

I am sure Toyota would sell lots of Sequoias if they went back to V8 and independent rear suspension. That would be the best alternative to the GM Tahoe/Yukon.

Yes, the GM’s do have more cargo space than the Fords, but the Fords have more passenger space for the 2nd row because of it. Depends on what you want more. I don’t know why you’d want the whole car larger though, they were already a tight fit into a garage. I know someone that bought the Expedition just because the Tahoe wouldn’t fit in his garage.

I just can’t deal with the poor quality and support of GM any more. My GMT-900’s will be my last. The K2 and T1 are both garbage quality. I’m going to try and keep what I have for longer but I will buy a Navigator next if we still need the long wheel base or, if not, probably a GLS. I don’t buy new though.

Yup... My '05 Yukon XL The cargo space is great. ( SUV ).... Sport UTILITY VEHICLE...... Since, it is a truck.
I have 6" space from the closed garage door, with a tire stop. Just enough room to still access to my sink.
With the 3rd row seat stored in a durable enclosure,.... I love the room for anything I want to put in the cargo space.
