GM didn’t want people to say that it’s performance was anemic like all the other hybrids were at that time.

Main issue about the Tahoe Hybrid is the pricing. Its not a terrible car, but it's not what you call very good value for money.

[@myphonyaccount]

If you drive it right, you actually can save 7-10 mpg. This involves a lot of gentle pedal work, coasting to stops and pretending you're cornering on ice so you use regen brakes more and tire scrub less. But it works, especially if you idle a lot.

[@HunterJs2]

So if you drive it more economically, it’ll be more economic? That goes for every car. The point is that a hybrid is supposed to be more economical the second you start the thing. This isn’t.

[@doctorsamadams]

⁠@@reverandhale863 you have to accelerate slower and less frequently, the speed you get to doesn’t matter so much. If you top out at 30 mph but are still mashing the gas to get there and then brake soon after, you won’t get better mileage.

Big corporations that are deregulated and chucking toxic waste directly into the water, land and air, all around the world.... are what we need to fix. The problem is governments WORK FOR big corporations and not its citizens, so instead of punishing, taxing and regulating big business, they turn around and say YOU and YOUR mode of transportation needs to be taxed and regulated and eventually they'd love to take away your ability to drive anywhere altogether (aka autonomous cars; who do you think controls the autonomous grid?).

I score Doug's score a 0 out of 10. I have a 2008 Yukon hybrid and I truly love it. You turn off or adjust the exit lighting. If you drive 10,000 miles per year, you'll save more $ that the hybrid premium in only a few years. He makes fun of 4 MPG savings for about $9,000 price premium. This is thoroughly a red-herring argument. The bigger 6.0L engine is needed when you're on the highway and it kicks into 4 cylinder mode - very good mileage, too. If you can't fit your backpack in the rear, try the side door - you probably would use the side door with your car too. The reason to get a Yukon is because you want a full-size comfortable ride for several adults. If you you start with the H badging you'll have nothing to stand on. The ride is quiet and soft. My rear wiper motor - we'll I can't hear it - so it's the motor from hell for him .. and he didn't even bother to buy the vehicle. Nobody ever complained about the passenger front foot room - ever. The turn-signal all-in-one combo knob - it takes one day to learn it and remember - no different than most cars which have some sort of multi-combo knob. I don't have a problem with the lit dashboard colors. Just drive it and the vehicle is smart enough itself. If you're hard on any car, your economy will suffer. Taking the 3rd row seats in and out - no problem. The rear door... we'll he made a comedy routine out of nothing. What a silly boy. I won't watch any more of Doug's comedy shows - WHY? 1. He has no vested interest in the vehicle - which makes him mostly wrong in his assessment. 2. He doesn't use it for a long enough period of time to make a REAL list of problems. 3. He would never buy the vehicle (in this case a TAHOE) because he just isn't a Tahoe/Yukon kind-of-guy. 4. He makes fun and ridicules all the things which are not the reason the vehicle is a Hybrid. 5. He missed many of the other more important features or nice touches...for example: built-in AC (120V) adaptor, tire inflater, backup camera, tow capability for the largest trailers, comfortably seat 6/7 large adults, separate ventilation controls for rear seating, separate climate control passenger side. super easy ingress/egress.

[@ferventlyfree5511]

So... a few things. 1. That rear wiper is very broken. 2. The "coin slot" is where the 4wd selector goes, this one doesn't have it. 3. The turn signal stalk is really simple. If you just take 30 seconds to look at it, the pictures are very clear and easy to remember I love how consolidated the controls are so you don't have to go on a damn easter egg hunt when you want to wash your rear window... 4. If you just hit the lever on the 3rd-row seats, they fold themselves forward giving you a huge cargo area. 5. The removal of the 3rd row is not "quite a process". You just literally pull the handle. They even have rollers to help guide for installation and removal. A dog could actually do this. 6. I hope your bit about closing the liftgate was intentional, because I know you're not that dull. The strap is to help the vertically-challenged reach the actual handle. This is very obvious. If those are appropriate lifters, the gate should pretty much close itself once it's ~75% down.

Nathan Harris I get the impression that not doing a ton of research before hand and winging it is a part of his schtick/gimmick, rather then simple laziness/sloppiness. His reviews seem to involve a certain degree of winging it, where unlike other cars reviewers who carefully research every aspect of the cars, he appears to do only very basic background research on the car/truck he’s reviewing beforehand but doesn’t learn about every feature. Of corse this annoys some folks quit a lot judging by the comments on his videos, but I’m ok with him not knowing the everything about of every feature of the vehicles he reviews beforehand and sort of winging it but I can understand how that would bother some. It makes him more like average Joe reviewing pulled of the streets to review car rather what you’d expect from say Jay Leno, who wants you to know that knows the cars he talks about (especially those he owns).

Agreed, AR. Nobody bought the Honda Insight (a 2 seater that could get 70mpg). Everybody buys trucks and large SUVs. Even a so-so effort on two mode hybrids on large vehicles will save more gas and cut tailpipe emissions far more than 60mpg microcars ever will. In the end, GM was trying to sell these to people who otherwise would have bought an H2 or an Expedition. With cylinder deactivation and a mild hybrid system that allows for short trips on electric power alone (around town, anyway) these vehicles were far better options than many people think. I agree with doug on the weird badging though. Just strange.

A 2007 prius only gets about 25% better mileage highway than a 2007 corolla. It got about 50% better MPGs in town, though. Even still, figuring 3 bucks a gallon you'd have to drive more than 225K miles, all in the city, before you'd ever make up the cost of the thing.

His scoring system is ridiculous. At the time this vehicle came out, it was a bit unusual to have rear TVs and they were the rage. From me, it would get a 6 out of 10 for features. Doug's scoring is also unfair as he ranks cars based on whether they have an infotainment screen -- on vehicles made in the 1980s and 1990s! In one video, he reviewed a luxury car that cost over $250,000 and rated it only 3 out of 10 on features because it didn't have a CD player or infotainment screen (NEITHER of which were in vehicles at the time!). His credibility permanently dropped after he aired that video. I no longer look at the ranking system after he reviews each car. What next? He gives a car from 1977 (he does review cars from the 70s and 80s every so often) a 1 out of 10 for lack of a touch screen and satellite radio? LMAO.

That's a play/pause button on the steering wheel. The up/down buttons are for forwards/back track skipping. You didn't have to remove the rear seats either for more cargo room, you can flip up the seats out of the way for much more cargo room without removing the seats. You can tell this was done in a few hours without much real investigation done on the features.

Thank you. I was hoping someone was going to point all this out. I had the regular non-hybrid Tahoe for years and loved it.

Same goes for the loop on the tailgate. It's not meant to close it, it's meant to lower the panel for people who aren't tall enough to close it when it's completely open!

Honestly can't stand when he hams up the "flaws" of the vehicle simply because he chooses to do them outside of their normal operation. Example, climbing to the back of a coupe on the drivers side when he knows damn well the passengers seat goes far enough forward to assist with entry. Smdh *facepalm.gif*

Also, the DVD is loaded at the top. You don't have to get a external DVD player to watch movies. Doug, you know that book bag did fit? smh
