“My iced coffee and my iced coffee from yesterday” 😂😂😂😂 love the look of the Tahoe but sunshades are a must!!!

[@pumpkin462]

I am not a mom but I enjoy these reviews because we get such an in-depth review of the interiors of cars. That is not common on so many reviews!

[@gabrielrogers2971]

She just brightens my day! Real life review

[@brandonandraven6650]

A major car brand needs to pick up Kelly and have her make the adjustments and calls for the ultimate mom car....there just isn't another solution

[@Ryan2022]

Wow I definitely enjoy reviews but we have to be fair here Chevy sells every single Tahoe they make

[@lcecbranch]

I think she voted the Kia Carnival. Just can't comfortably take a van up mountain forest roads.

[@SampsoniteR]

That’s how the “Homer” car gets created.

[@holliebaranosky1495]

My husband is 6’6 and this is our 4th Tahoe over the last 12 years. We love the upgrades. We only have 2 kids so we never use the 3rd row. We love the trunk space and leg room for tall hubby. Its not for everyone but it works so well for us. ♥️

[@thehomiejayomni]

I'm 6'6" and just picked up my first Tahoe (Z71) after three Jeep Grand Cherokees. The difference in size and comfort can't be overstated.

[@Mikeschannel477]

I like the 2000-2005 model years of the Tahoe’s I feel like those were the best years. I also like the next generation or two after that.

[@hajjdawood]

I am also 6'6" and I just got a 2023 Diesel Tahoe. Tons of room and gets 30 mpg on the highway despite being a brick, love it so far.

[@shannonhinds468]

Hi! Do you recommend the bench? We have 2 as well

[@jeffkoldoff1155]

Recently got my wife a new 21 Tahoe Premier very well optioned with all the safety features, panoramic sunroof, heads up display, quad leather heated/cooled seats, lots of leather or leather like and wood in the interior, v8 2-wheel drive with running boards and factory chrome 22” wheels, $72k, beautiful SUV rides great and plenty of power. She had a 17 Durango R/T which was nice too

[@biancapennell2525]

I recently got a used 2021 LT Texas edition Tahoe. So many safety features, panoramic sunroof, bucket seats, it also has buttons in the back to lower down the third row seats. You don’t have to do it manually. Drives smooth and high. My kids are 6 & 10 and they have more than enough room. I don’t have to worry about the stroller room 😜 I love it and I’m obsessed with my Tahoe! ❤

[@match328]

Yea you probably paid over $80,000 for it.

[@biancapennell2525]

@@match328 nope! Not at all. Got way more than my 2015 Tahoe was worth so that helped a lot🤷🏻‍♀️🤗

[@destineehawk9389]

So I currently drive a 2021 Tahoe and LOVE IT. I have a full sun roof along with power folding seats in the second AND third rows. I have 4 small children. 2 rear facing, 2 forward facing. I have the rear facing twins side by side in the second row which leaves not only an available seat but allows easy access to the third row to get in and out the 2 kids in the back. I also always have my evenflo pivot double stroller which fits in the trunk. Overall I have no complaints and all the “plastic” doesn’t bother me a bit. I test drove a transverse first and although the trunk space was nice there was not even room to get all the car seats and kids in comfortably

[@emilylaseter7320]

I am so glad I saw your comment! Going test drive this weekend!!

[@philipwood8776]

Plastic junk

[@Mikeschannel477]

Did you test drive any previous model years of the Tahoe? How did they compare?

[@Mustylampbro]

Me too! She just didn't pick a good one to check out! Mine is a premier and has everything she complained this one didn't have!

[@derrikm977]

Would two front facing car seats fit in the 2nd row,leaving the access seat open?

[@jumpman5150]

“Here’s some AMSR for you!” 😂 I agree 100% with you. These companies have the nerve to charge that much money for some plastic on wheels. Keep it up! Love your videos.

"You can put your weed in there."

[@Lessstress573]

@@gary_neilson1896 great idea

[@aljrim]

For an SUV that is $71,000, I would have to agree that General Motors should have used soft touch materials on the dashboard and door panels. Second the gauges/speedometer should have been digital or updated to something different. Third the middle seats in the second and third row should havd had head restraints, so she made a good point on that. Fourth the seats could be more comfortable. Finally, one thing that General Motors should have done in their SUVS was put a grab handle on the drivers side pillar. Reason being is because if a shorter person was to drive this vehicle, they would need assistance getting in and out.

[@nicolefarmer7448]

I have this car in black after totaling my nightfall wolf grey telluride and I will say I’m happy I have it it’s great I love it and the space it’s much nicer than the telluride

The compartment you put your phone in is supposed to be for your sunglasses.

[@beverlywindham2483]

I believe it may be a sunglass holder🤷🏾‍♀️

[@super_tomtendo]

Yes, it is. Her bias overtook this video hard. Yikes. She is usually very good!

[@TheAdrianMc]

I never thought anything about the front end but now that you mentioned it, I can't UN-see it! lol

[@paulsalmon4771]

All the GM trucks needed was a really good refresh not a redesign...

[@gransport4246]

The Yukon has the same flat front end with no bumper; although, I don’t think the Yukon has the underbite.

[@YKitskellyy]

4:31 we use that to put sun glasses in there

[@just654]

Just to let you the Z71 is the off road package. If your looking for more of “family” Tahoe need to check out the LT trim level or spring for the premiere level. Also Chevy has made sunroofs an option on most levels. Most people say they want it and then never use it

[@4961Studebaker]

Probably ordered w/o sunroof. Risk of leaks always a pain if one keeps a vehicle over time.

[@Mark300win]

and if you living in hail country/city like calgary, sunroof is a no no

[@tmanforever]

How does no one know that the hole is for sunglasses. It’s so obvious lol

[@nickvezos1889]

Used to be my favorite “truck”. Way overpriced now and the materials aren’t up to par. No doubt it will sell though. People enjoy the space and the domineering look of it.

[@brittonbernhard5674]

I agree. I had two Suburbans in the past but I’m just so disappointed in this gen compared to the Expedition so I’m just going to get that Wagoneer or the 2022 Expedition since basically everything you need is standard

[@phoebejames4320]

@@brittonbernhard5674 we’re looking at the wagoneer or Tahoe. Just can’t see the wagoneer or drive one until we order it, which isn’t ideal.

Thank you for these videos. I’m a mom of 2 kids & a dog so having room is IMPORTANT! I love & appreciate your transparency with these reviews.

[@chrissobie5922]

I will be brutally honest $70,000 is way too expensive for a family vehicle we purchased brand new 2 miles a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta one child. We put car seat in large stroller. We did just fine . Family of 3. Gas now $4.29 $60 fill up . Growing up family of 5 my parents had 1995 Chevy Carprice Wagon V8. Brand new.

[@maggiehoffman171]

I couldn’t agree with you more about the Tahoe. Test drove & was so disappointed. We got a Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy and it has so many more features for a lot less money. Also agree about the double spacing of the lettering on the back end of all the new vehicles. Wanted them to take it off my car but felt like a psycho 😬

[@katiejohnson5180]

We recently got a 2021 Z71 Suburban. Ours came with a panoramic sunroof and the rear entertainment system and we essentially paid what you said this is listed for. So I think you found an overpriced Tahoe haha. We LOVE our suburban - perfect size for a family of five with a big dog.

[@javierchimal60]

Same here, I bought a GMC Yukon a month ago with sunroof and second row dual entertainment center for $66,000.00 plus Tax, and is just amazing!

[@colle7251]

My husband and I have tossed up between a Suburban, Yukon XL & Expedition Max.

[@gcaprice406]

Same, picked up a 2021 Yukon XL brand new off the lot with sunroof and rear entertainment for $73K. The market is just backwards right now, not the fault of the Tahoe.

[@super_tomtendo]

We got the 21 Suburban LT with LT sig package and included most of those items too for $60K. I think the Tahoe is actually going for more because people are scared of the SIZE of the Suburban (and XL Yukon)

[@AnalysisofaCrimewithCD]

@@javierchimal60 which model? SLT3?

[@jbussure]

I agree. It would be nice to have digital display. I wish it would look more expensive and have more features to go with the price tag.

[@NN-nt8hk]

Tahoe should really make a smaller version a 2 row instead of a 3rd row it should also cut the price down

[@ericaengler]

The sass in this video is unmatched and I’m living for it 😂

[@nabatron21]

Just picked up a yukon at4 fully loaded for the wife yesterday. Traded in her vw atlas which wasn't a good fit for our family. We like how aggressive the at4 package give it and how big the overall vehicle is! She a big beast!

[@rickyhsu572]

Considering both cars.. Curious to learn what your reasons for going with the AT4 vs Atlas?

[@nabatron21]

@@rickyhsu572 liked body on frame vehicle since I drive a truck. We just found issues with the vw. Suddenly stopping when driving, 2nd row chair flying forward with child seat, infotainment buggy as hell, digital spedo buggy not showing nav and the list goes on lol

[@enthalpyyan]

Do you need to pay over MSRP for AT4? In my area, all these GM cars (Tahoe/Yukon) go beyond MSRP which is crazy...

[@nabatron21]

@@enthalpyyan nope not in Canada. I got preferred pricing which was a discount of around 6k. In the states it's called something else. When you work for a company that's under the GMC loyalty you get a discount. If in Canada they tried to sell over msrp I wouldn't buy from them anyways.

[@legion1630]

i love your review because you actually behave like most of us do in real life

[@carlosdrill]

Thanks for making this video! My wife and I are looking to buy a SUV, and we are that tall couple. We loved how you were so detailed and picky about certain stuff, heck, you and my wife are kind of similar so it was great having you explain and showed us the pros and cons about the vehicle. Still, we might just purchase a Tahoe sooner than expected. We agree, Chevrolet can do better in upgrading their interior, and that’s why I wouldn’t pay $70k for it, with $50k is fine by us.

[@amberstevenson4851]

I think you should try the Tahoe Premier, same price point but more of the mom stuff you’d be wanting instead of an off road package. I tried both and love my Premier. Most of your complaints are solved with that one!

[@hannahstaggs7650]

You should tour a premier! Totally different interior including gauges The compartment beside the radio to the right is a sunglasses holder Mine has a sunroof all the way to the back seat it is huge (panoramic) All of my seats are electric

[@courtneywoodyard]

This is not worth $71k. I feel like having a Tahoe at this point is a status thing, so I am sure it will sell.

[@zadzilko]

I just bought a 2021 Z71 Suburban with sunroof, rear entertainment and a few other gadgets this Tahoe doesnt have, sticker price $68,525. I asked my salesman why the Tahoe's are priced higher, he admitted, it's a status thing, and GM knows it. So go buy a Suburban and you'll get a ton more room and more options for less $.

[@kenna.9368]

With 3rd row up, cargo is small for the size of the vehicle. Traverse has way more storage in the cargo area. It even has under storage while Tahoe doesn’t.

[@nicoleflores8223]

I have been wanting a tahoe for a long time but saw expedition (among other vehicle reviews you've done) and got an expedition 2 weeks ago. And watching this has made me even more happy and confident I made a good choice. Personally I don't like the new body style with the Tagoe.

[@candy_in_midlife]

Her Expedition video made me want one, too! We actually ordered a Tahoe, but cancelled it once we looked at an Expedition. We just got a build date and hope to take delivery by end of September!

[@caseystivers6759]

Love your videos! Just wanted to share a point maybe, that if there is a middle seat head restraint, you wouldn’t be able to see out of your rear view mirror.

[@kristendenton6562]

Thanks for pointing out the middle seat lack of headrests! My parents are big GM owners, so I’ll remember this next time we load up into one of their cars!

[@OrtnerCapital]

We just got the 21 suburban premier duramax and love the gas mileage on this thing. It was a lot but it came with every bell and whistle and the leather seats are butter soft! We have 2 kids and it works for us! The cubby thing you’re wondering about, I put my sunglasses in there.

Your videos are just the best for moms and families! My hubby is 6’4” (no seats go back far enough for his super long legs to be comfortable except in his huge truck) I’m 5’7” and we have a toddler and another baby on the way. The struggle is REAL to find a vehicle that fits my husband and two car seats behind us! I was considering a Tahoe but not after watching your video. Way too much plastic for the price! Jeep grand Cherokee seems the best for the buck without having to spend $90k for nice interior and a big trunk but I wish the second row was like 5” further back 😢

HEY CAR MOM, You asked what that little cubby storage compartment to the left of the nav screen is used for? Here's your answer. It's used to hold your sunglasses and thats why its also felt lined not hard plastic. If you look above your head where the most common place to store the your sunglasses between the reading /map overhead lights and sunroof controls, You'll notice that the sunglass holder is gone. Chevy repositioned the location of the sunglass holder.

They need people like you for the final review before mass production😅 Also…. Don’t get her plastic for a gift, no food container, nothing.😂… Seriously tho good review.

[@terrifuller]

The Z71 21 Tahoe market value isn’t worth $71k brand new especially with 20k miles on it. I have the LT with moonroof, HUD, captains chairs, power release chairs, leather, etc and paid way less than that. Just an FYI to those watching this and eyeroll’ing at this vehicle, the Z71 is also the off-road trim - they didn’t put anything into it because that trim level is less likely to be a family SUV. Just my two cents.

[@sabbazaki7834]

Drove a 2023 from Florida to Texas and it was an absolute rattle trap. Felt extremely cheap compared to the Armada we rented and our new 23 4Runner. It drove well, but not going to pay $1400 a month for a plastic box.
