Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

[Danny3737]

I would agree with this as I did notice when I was in a family members '17 SLT Premium that the jet black leather seats were definitely softer feeling than our 2015 and other 16s I've been in. The cushion felt more plush. Design is obviously the same and the subtle change probably wouldn't be notice by most.

I bet the seats in my 04 Denali are softer than both of those.

Interesting. Where did you hear that the seats were changed and MRC retuned? I have a 16 denali

I heard from the Service Department that there was a change...I can tell you from direct comparison between the 15 and 17 there is a difference. I did not do a comparison on part #s for the shocks or seats though to verify.

yes they are...and are great if you want non support lazy boy feel (those days are over). I am one that prefers the firmer euro style. THey were okay but i didn't care for the pillow feel over time with our previous yukons and suburbans.

I like the softer feel, especially on long drives. I'd prefer a stiffer seat if I were driving a sports car.

My back feels a lot better with the firmer seats on those long runs to NYC which could take up to 35 hours with nasty gridlock instead of the normal 24 hours from Miami-NYC.

I Like both for different reasons. The softer old style feels more comforting to me than the newer. Newer is firmer. It's all preference.

For 2015 and newer owners, does the misaligned steering wheel to seat position annoy anyone to the point that you wouldn't buy again?

I was aware of it before we purchased and thought it would be something I'd always be aware of and it hasn't one bit(2yrs now).

Nope. I still like it. The last gen had the same thing.

I have a 2017 Suburban Premier, so I guess I'm chadandhisburb now lol

I'm at 14k troublefree miles and knocking on wood that it stays that way.

The only issue I have is worrying constantly that I could develop the buffeting/vibration issues.

While I find the interior design to be a little tacky and hideous, I do really like spending time in this vehicle. The seats are comfortable, it's quiet, decently powerful and it does what we've asked of it. I hope it continues to stay this way.

I know a lot of mom's that have burbs, XL Denalis and ESVs at my son's school. They all brag on their ride. So either they're too stupid to realize they have an issue (which could be possible) or they are actually good suvs too. I haven't ran into anyone in person with actual issues with the 2015+ other than some still say they are ugly.

Yes I would buy again, and I have. I've purchased a 2017 Tahoe LT for my company.

I'm in the market for a '17 Yukon Denali. Even though I don't tow, I have two kids and there's a lot to like about the Yukon. We take at least one long road trip a year and the comfort is a strong factor. I have a preference for the 6.2 and the 8 speed so that's where the Denali comes in.

I could get comparable room in a Chevy Traverse. Not sure how the new '18's drive though.

After seeing that Consumer Reports ranked the Yukon/Tahoe 8th out of 10 with 51 out of 100 points, would you buy it again?

From their perspective it's completely unreliable, won't handle accident avoidance, etc.

I've had a Surburban and am on my second 4x4 Tahoe. The current fully loaded Z71 has over 150k miles with virtually no problems and no engine or transmission problems.

If I could afford another, I would not hesitate to buy another Tahoe or a Yukon.

I'm driving a 2017 Premium Esky. I went from MI. to FL. for the winter . Came back and then to OR. A great ride on the open road. I have no reason not to purchase another one. I just would buy some other vehicle for something different.

Well that's vague.

And consumer reports sucks. GM doesn't pay them as much as Toyota does.

I know you're probably joking, but I think its worth stating that Consumer Reports does not accept any money, or even advertising from companies.

They actually buy all of the cars they test so they don't even put themselves into a position where the auto manufacturers lend them the cars and in the process provide favors, i.e. wine and dine them during the process. Also, when Consumer Reports buys the cars, they do so anonymously so no one from the dealer nor the auto manufacturer knows. Again, to avoid any potential for persuasion or prodding by the car manufactures.

So when Consumer Reports states a fact, one can confidently take it as fact. However, as with any car magazine, they also state opinion, for example, "why do you need a vehicle this big? most families will do fine with a smaller SUV." That would be opinion, but to be fair, they are not trying to pass it along as a fact, just opinion.

Their facts are more like this: "in comparison to other large, full body/frame SUVs, GM receives a 1/5 for quality".

[emoji23] the Tundra gets ripped every year in those things for being outdated and needing an overhaul.

Dont waste your time dude. Some people can't handle news/information that doesn't fit their world view so they simply label it 'fake'.

#chadandhistahoe As a retired GM durability test driver ( MPG). I drove all GM's vehicles as well as the competitive vehicles. I get bored in no time. By the time cars and trucks make it to your dealership I had driven them daily for a long time. I have little desire to own what would be a two year old vehicle to me. Best thing to happen was retiring. Now some of the vehicles seem new to me once again. So yes , give me something different to drive.

Seems like a lot of that is going on these days...

Yes I was joking but apparently triggered some people.

Indeed. It does need an overhaul. But I feel that way about the GM pickups and RAM as well.

Not sure if you're referring to me or not. Hopefully not.

My co-worker told me today that his 2017 Yukon XL (SLT) started throwing all kinds of warning lights. The transmission was all of a sudden clunky and hard to get in gear. He only has 8,000 miles.

The dealer told him there are “seals loose” and “something” leaked. He’ll probably need a new transmission. They told him they’re keeping his truck for at least 2-3 weeks.

What’s interesting is the part that was most upsetting to him is that they gave him a Chevy Cruise as a loaner (LOL), when he was planning on taking his family camping next week. So now he’s trying to rent a Suburban from Alamo on his own dime. Poor guy.

This shouldn’t be happening on a practically new vehicle.
