I want to be fair about the ground clearance thing. When you have independent rear suspension the amount that each wheel can travel vertically is much greater. They often make the suspensions now with much greater travel ( even though it doesn't look like it, they do). It makes them much better off road. I think if they pulled out some really good tests of this, you would see that. And in the test that they did, I felt the new one wasn't even truly tested.

You need a lot of disposable income to buy a new one.

I'd rather pay my house off quicker. I did pick up a low miles Dodge Challenger SRT8 a few months ago which interrupted that but I'll keep my 05 Suburban until it gets too rusty and then get another used one for 10k and that should last me 10 years or so up in New England. The new ones are for people that make 150k and up if you have kids or married with kids and you probably won't get away without spending similar money on the wife mobile.

I love both of them and they are both very reliable vehicles. You can't beat a Suburban, I have carried so many baseball players from high school in the 2004 to events and everyone ALWAYS fight for the rear seats because kids are in their own world back there. I grew up with Suburbans and the 1996 was my parents last Suburban that was handed down to me. Also my buddy loved both my Suburbans so much he went out and bought a 1999 Suburban and loves it because he now overlands and camps in it with his wife and kid. They are truly one of the best vehicles made. I just wish GM would of made the Suburban with a 2500HD duramax instead of private companies making the duraburb. GM needs to wake up on what they have and listen to their customers with continuing to make the Suburban 2500 but adding the duramax and Allison transmission to it, that platform would be selling like hotcakes and GM wouldn't be able to keep them in their lots.

I always love seeing David and Andre together on the channel. The GMT-800 SUVs are maybe the best GM ever made. The LS engines had no cylinder shutdown technology and as demonstrated will run for a long time with minimal problems. They had decent power too. The seats, especially the 2003-2006 versions are the absolute best GM ever made too. The new one is awesome too except for the price. But my complaint is the DFM system. What happens when it don’t work Andre is you bend a pushrod and get a misfire and have to have the top end of the engine tore down to replace lifters and pushrods. They need to do away with that system. It only gets 1 mpg better highway rating per the epa. So aside from the fuel saving technology, the new one is impressive. New vehicles in general. They are bigger, faster, heavier and more capable in just about every way and still get similar mileage (even without the DFM). They are pricey though.

And the fact that the old one has a 4spd, no cylinder deactivation bullshit, less tech to go bad and still gets 19mpg on a 300k mile motor and trans. With all that tech and more gears, the new one doesn't get much more mpg. The new suburbans feel cheaply made and lightweight. I rented one for a 3 hour drive after our flight got canceled and had 9 ppl in it. It felt like driving a large 4runner, closing the doors sounded exactly the same.

i had an '04 4x4 Tahoe Z71 (w/ G80) that I purchased brand new, and I maintained it religeously. However, I used it quite regularly as a 4x4 like you see on TV, and replaced an axle and other parts that I broke on those hunting adventures. What finally did it in at around 186,000 miles was Michigan's salty road winters. Virtually EVERYTHING was rusting out and the entire electrical system was going out on it by the time I sold it in 2019 as a parts vehicle to a guy who already had 3 other same vintage Suburbans and a Yukon. The leather interior on my '04 was still in fabulous condition, and the engine never burned a drop of oil (all MobileOne synthetic oil changes from new). Man, do I ever miss that old Tahoe!

I rebuilt all the rear drive train myself. I did the brakes, rotors, shocks and installed greaseable I-joints on my drivelines. The only place I have a gripe is the electronics. They all work good, but there’s a couple glitches I have to get to the bottom of. We’ll have this forever!!! $86,000,00????? I can buy a small house for that much.

This one was close to my heart. My third Suburban was a 2001 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 8100(496ci) engine. It was just broken in at 130,000 miles when it was killed by a ~ 250 pound 12 point buck. This was going to be my last Suburban, I'm getting older. I bought it new and it was the perfect truck for 15 years after I got used to the hatch instead of doors. My 2 older ones were both 3/4 ton 4x4's One was a 350 and the other was a 454. Both of these were over 160,000 miles when I got the bug for a new one. Besides brakes and tires I changed an alternator and dealer replaced a rear differential (G80 broke). I replaced the 2001 with a new 2016 4x4 5.3 6 speed auto. More car like than truck but very comfortable. Cylinder head replaced at first oil change. Chevy put a new crate engine in at 30,000 miles. 3/4 ton was no longer available unless you could find a fleet vehicle and it's towing was not rated any higher. Based on the performance of my 2020 Sierra AT4 6.2 L 10 speed. I would love to have a Suburban equipped that way on air bags(maybe) but I doubt it will happen on my current "fixed" income.

Something that gets the job done , don’t have to worry about getting the paint all messed up.

Bro I thought I had a ad at 0:00. I was like "where is the skip button". But back into topic, I really do love the older Tahoe/Suburban

The new ones are just to expensive for most of us it's turned into a house payment instead of a car payment

that's why we have 1.5 trillion dollars of car loan-related debt in the US. The third largest debt we have next to mortgages and student loans

No more new truck purchase, that's what I told my local dealer. I can't pay that.

Wait am I hearing this right? The state registration for his pick up is over $1,000 a year! In PA I’m paying around $40 a year.

I wasn't clear on that. In Virginia we have Personal Property taxes that are paid twice a year, June 5th and Dec. 5th. Those are based on the value of your vehicle for the current year. As your car ages the price goes down. Then we also have to pay for DMV registration of a vehicle once a year. I think that is around $49 a year. Some states don't have Personal Property taxes but still have a registration fee and I have heard high money amounts for that. I guess it depends on what state you have your vehicle registered in.

For anyone wondering what happens when you have AFM or cylinder deactivation, after so many miles, your cam shaft will simply ✨snap✨. It’s happened to my friends 2014 1500 Silverado 3 times. Every time the dealer even said it was from the AFM. Definitely recommend getting it tuned out

For $200 you can buy a ranger that plugs into the OBD port put one on a 2008 made the 5.3 a different motor traded for a 2017 6.2 the one pulled right out of the 08 5.3 and worked in the 17 6.2 I think the 2018 used a different cylinder delete. Made big difference in the 6.2

tuning it out only disables it. the faulty components are still there and will fail. the only solution is physical top end rebuild.

Not every vehicle has these issues. From where I am (Qatar), I see very few GMT800s and more GMT900s and K2 vehicles.

Great vid. A mid 2000's Z71 does it for me at 1/10th the cost

As the owner of a 2001 suburban Lt 1500 5.3L with 289,000 original miles on the 4l60e and 114,000 on engine, I have to say, it's a very good vehicle for me. Very universal. Roomy, comfortable, smooth riding, reliable, can haul almost anything, and very simple to work on, parts are definitely cheaper than they would be on a new 2023 model, I wouldn't take a new vehicle over my trusty 2001 suburban.

I've had a 04 z71 Tahoe for 5 years and it's hands down my favorite vehicle I've ever owned, my next will be a 2000-06 suburban. I have put my Tahoe through absolute hell and it still runs and rides good, winter is so much fun.

Sucks they had to remove the column shifter. I thought they were keeping it on for the traditional vibe of a truck suv.

I had a 1997 Suburban up for sale about 3 years ago. 4WD with 5.7 350. Absolutely perfect inside and out. Black paint/grey interior. Ride/drove great ...and I could barely give it away. Think I sold it for $3.3k. People would say "The fuel mileage is terrible - I can't afford to drive it." So, they would then drop $30k + on a newer used one that essentially got the same MPG. 😅 Should have kept it ...

My dad still has his 2001 Yukon xl Denali he bought it second hand but it was still pretty new it had under 15k miles in 2003 we lived in Bay Area so due to his job he would be send to San Diego or Los Angeles and he would sleep in the back make the bed in the rear which save him motel money. But he had friends he would camp out. His truck is still all stock if I’m not mistaken is reaching 500k miles original trans and engine. He had swap twice the front diff in the lifespan. The truck is in his garage in Mexico
