Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

[newhard2]

NOPE...Would't buy my 2016 Tahoe LTZ again. This is the worst riding one I have had to date. Owned 4 prior versions of Tahoe and Yukon's. It came factory with Midnight Package (black emblems, and 22" black wheels).

My brothers Silverado rides nicer that this SUV....Actually looking to trade it bc the ride quality is crap.....

I wouldn't say I wouldn't buy again till I drive the Expedition first.

I am not 100% satisficed with my 2018 Premier but couldn't be 100% certain till I drive the other brand. I didn't want Ford first gen Expedition so I passed on looking at it but after some time in my suburban.......I wish I did try Ford

I would 100% buy my Suburban again. I love what I got and the options it came with.... nothing fancy but just the right amount of luxury.... I want another one but this time I wanna look for a 2019 Duraburb built 3500 suburban or a used fleet 3500 LT suburban with the 6.0

Yes and No

No because I would buy a 2021 because they are out, but if the 21's were not out I would by my 18 Yukon XL all over again a great vehicle.

To be safe no first year vehicles. Lots of problems with the 2015. A 2020 would be a safe bet. All the bugs should be worked out. Good luck.

I should have lemon lawed mine and got the 2016. Lots of gremlins, the electronics suck. Temp control is garbage, collision detection goes off randomly, rain sensing wipers run with no rain and don't with rain, Instrument panel goes dark when passing under overpasses and stays dark for miles, had to have the torque convertor replaced and trans rebuilt, had to get the condenser repaired, replaced the magnetic ride, had to reprogram the ECU to keep the engine from shutting off on the 1-2 shift, I did the AFM delete, I have to replace the GPS antenna, driver door wiring is bad already. For what I need this is the only vehicle that fits so I'm stuck. I tow more than 6000lbs, I drive in very deep heavy snow, I need the space, and I love the sound system. By the time I'm done fixing everything I will have a really nice vehicle. Absolutely no excuse for all these issues, just really bad engineering. I wish the full service manuals weren't so expensive so I could redesign these systems and make them work right. Don't buy a 2015!!

I did Lemon Law an early build 2015 in Florida. The key was documentation and making sure I had all my service records. GM "no" customer service was terrible but that was just my personal experience with them and I don't speak for everyone. I wrote a letter to GM headquarters citing all my past GM vehicles (there were many) and I never received a response not even a John Dear letter. The area representative and I had to battle all the way to the end which included the final hearing (so much for helping the customer). I was awarded full retail price minus a small fee for mileage plus the GM accessories I had installed. I still purchased a new 2016 not giving up on GM. I have been a GM guy all my life going back to owning a 66 Nova SS 327 when I graduated from high school. I really feel bad for the owners who don't know any better and take a bath trying to get out of their problem vehicle when there are other avenues to take. I would have also taken a bath as the area representative offered $1000 good faith money to help me out of my 2015 on a new one. Needless to say I declined. I did this on my own but there are Lemon Law attorneys who can help and a lot of states offer no up front money and the attorney gets paid through the settlement. I read on the truck forum that someone even got a considerable amount for punitive damages, he must of had a good attorney.

I should have bought a Suburban instead of my Tahoe. Doesnt fit in the garage anyway and no down side to having more interior space.

 

[LT1ZOB]

Selling my 16 Tahoe with 56k trouble free miles and bought a 19 CPO Tahoe with 17k miles. I know not everyone always gets a good product right out of the gate, but to answer the OP, yes, I would and did.

 

[jimr5454]

I would buy my hybrid version .19+ mpg no matter how I drove or idled it!
I'm not sure about my 16

I hear that often. I never hear a Suburban owner say I should have bought a Tahoe.

I have about 2500 miles on our 18 YXL SLT driving it from NC home...well...almost home, we are still in Utah visiting friends. So far so good, when we rented a Suburban last eyar we didn't feel that it was 10 years better than our old YXL but this one does. I think it is more the equipment that is on this one. The cooled seats are amazing as is the heated wheels. I have come really like the Adaptive Cruise Control.

I'm curious the resale on Tahoes. We are getting a brand new one. Our Toyota Sequoia held it's value really well and I'm curious if Tahoe is the same.

It’s temporary insanity today. I bought a 16 Tahoe in 18 with 22k miles. Today I’m getting my money back after 3 years and 35k miles I’ve put on it (I also have 2 above sticker offers on my 19 Z06 corvette which I got at 24% off sticker in Dec of 2019). So it’s pure insanity right now.
That said, if you’re buying brand new today, unless you’re a GM employee, you’re not getting much $ off sticker, if any. Assuming the world swings back towards more sane decisions in next few years, you’ll probably not be terribly happy with your trade-in value. I have now owned 3 Tahoes, and have never regretted my decision of buying one. It will certainly hold its value better than most family SUVs on the market, but keep in mind higher gas prices also impact the resale of full-size trucks

Check Carmax, Vroom and such, they are offering very aggressive numbers.

Any thoughts on trade in affecting the future ev cars comming? I know it'll be awhile before they are common in market and a long while before large suv are affected but it is comming ?

I have said that our 2018 might be the last ICE vehicle we buy.

 

[LT1ZOB]

Since we've gotten so used to print and spend, I expect to start seeing cash for ICE gov't programs by2025. By 2028, the math is unlikely to favor ICE vehicles. Taxes and operating costs will likely make ICE hard to justify by the end of this decade. I'm with Phil, my 19 Tahoe is likely my last full size ICE truck.

The Ford F-150 Lightning EV looks very intriguing. Vroom offered me $44k for my truck. An upstart - inride.com - offered $52k for a base 19 Suburban LT (no options) with 18k miles.

Interesting times we are in.

As far as EVs, the biggest issues for me are cost and range. I know others will be concerned with towing as well. I want to be able to make it down from DC to Norfolk (with some local driving around town) and back without recharging.

Cost for the F150 Lightning XLT or Pro could be ok with insane used car trade in values and EV tax credits if they both exist in 12-18 months.
