far from holy, i don't even go to church. Although I should... wife being Catholic and all and trying to get me to go with her. Maybe I'll start.

Geez, Robbie. We've got more in common that just good taste in Tahoe mods!

I was just reading in Automotive News an article about GMC trying to differentiate themselves from Chevrolet a little more in the future....

Take what you want from that though.

If Tahoes and Yukons are that similar, how do those two differ from the Escalade then?

Projector headlights, LED taillights, different dash, console, leather, etc. probably more but those are off the to of my head.

The price tag is lots different, too.

Depending on what you get on your Chevy or GMC. If you get a fully loaded Denali the price is not all that different. A comparable Caddy is still slightly higher than a Denali but not that much.

Personally, I prefer the Yukon (and I don't think it is feminine). I don't like the line across the grill with Chevy's. I got a Denali, and it is nice.

I'd prefer the Tahoe front end over the normal Yukon but would get a Denali over those two any day.

My 1st post to chime in on this one. I had a hard time deciding between the Suburban and the Yukon Denali XL. I never really though of the Yukon being feminine and like the front end looks better. Ultimately it came down the 6.2 403HP and the overall package the Denali offered over the Chevy. If you don't care about the 6.2 and the drive terrain pick what makes you happy.

You guys are wrong (especially Robbie) the Yukon wins hands down.

I didn't think that this topic would have gotten this many comments, pleasantly surprised and thank you. I just remember something that my son said about the difference which was something about the Yukon had some sort of suspension thing like an auto leveling trick or something like that. It also might be that he was referring to an earlier year Yukon too, not sure yet. I will ask him also.

But thanks for all of your thoughts and banter, it's great. :)

On my 06' Denali I have the auto leveling air suspension. It is nice but also pricey to repair if you tear a shock or your compressor dies. There are after market solutions for that though-currently which I am doing. I just bought a replacement set of rear shocks and a compressor. If you plan on lowering your tahoe/yukon-you should take this into consideration as well. I believe it is easier(and cheaper) if you don't have the autoride/auto leveling setup ;)

I was thinking about this as I loaded close to 2000lbs of hardwood flooring in the back of the Tahoe LTZ last w/e. Was dreading hearing a shock go POP!!Was very happy to see the truck do it's auto leveling thing with no hiccups (even though the truck looked like a low rider, haha). Oh, and Tahoe front end > Denali front end alllll day long!!! :Wedgie:

Chevy front ends are a like a ******, they have way to many bumps (and likely have a disease). Same with taillights. Only good parts about a Chevy is what they share with the GMC :imo:
