I agree with Nathan they are too expensive by about $10k. Would love to have the turbo diesel in these, the only engine I would pick if getting any of the trims.

In todays Tahoe with the 10 speed, I was very surprised at how quick the 5.3 is… I just sold my 2017 Durango R/T with the 5.7 Hemi and I gotta say for the size tires and the bigger/taller body of the Z71 Tahoe… it’s plenty fast enough and I bet it’s about even with the Durango as far as speed… I don’t see an issue towing anything upto it’s 7k or so towing capacity. Definitely better than any of the older pickup trucks people use to drive around…. And they seemed to do fine, and were way slower

[@Nathans_Margarita_Salt]

Glad to see Nathan back! Great review buddy

[@robmiller4339]

I agree with you on the diesel. Love diesel's.

[@stephencannon3140]

New shifter is a learning curve but you get used to it fairly quickly. 6.2 is powerful but remember 93 a octane knocking on the doorstep of $5.00/gallon I am glad I stuck with the 5.3. Nice new design, modern but not overbearing. For those coming out of previous generation Escalade/Tahoe/Yukon they added approximately seven inches to overall length…….keep in mind for garages. I about fill the spot. I have just enough room to get around either front with garage door closed or around the rear with garage door open. Usually not both. For low ceilings or low parking garages….take advantage of the two position lift gate height. I set mine to 3/4 open and manually raise the rest of the way. Z71 is Offroad oriented but some luxury items. Pros: Design, blacked out accents looks stylish and aggressive especially with the Midnight Blue exterior. Premier and High Country are luxury oriented but not as mean and aggressive….way too much Chromey. Most luxury items that are found on the Premier and HC are available…2nd row buckets, heated seats and wheel, sliding center console power fold third row seating……note 2nd row seating is power folding but needs to be raised manually. 2nd row buckets are adjustable for not only recline but can slide a few inches forward/Aft… forward for 3rd row entry and back for more legroom. Infotainment screen looks aftermarket like a….oops we forgot to put a display screen. Build the console around the screen not the screen around the dashboard. Cons: Not all Premier and HC items are available…..HUD, Adaptive Cruise, ventilated seats etc… Center console organizer tray not included with purchase…either back order or not available. I found one on GM parts catalog so they do exist, matter of how much your dealer is willing to fight for you. The cargo area security cover can only be installed with the 3rd row seats stowed. No TX edition which is basically 22” rims and the badging. I installed the gloss black powder coating “22” from my 2021 Premier. Wireless Charging….great concept but location of the charging pad is located in a place with high potential for damage either to charging pad, phone or both. Short out, liquid intrusion, etc…I am planning on pulling the fuse for the wireless Charging to avoid damage. Only one USB port. That port is a data only port….usb flash drive etc….all other ports especially charging port s are USBC in and USB-C out. Rear Seat Entertainment is not removable….not even the monitors . I would rather remove and keep in safe keeping until I trade in. No family for me and my dog keep scratching she screen when he swipes left……think about that for a minute you will get it. Overhead Console could use way better background lighting…..sliding center console switch is not only out of way in that switch is upper console but motion is lower. Sliding center console controller is no background lighting. Eventually you find it by feel but make a note. Biggest con of all to me anyway…..No Foglights….you heard me. Great ride, quiet, comfortable and smooth. Major limitation is the fuel capacity and don’t expect much beyond 350-400 miles per tank. Without hypermiling and cruise at normal interstate speeds that’s about 5 hours. Not a vehicle where you want to ignore the ….”Last fuel for XXx miles sign.

[@xanth592]

Great review, very detailed and honest. Subscribed!

[@tipsofwisdom777]

Definitely right the idea of putting the straight six diesel in the Z71. The overall look of this Tahoe is great and a 2 door version,(lower price, lighter and of course shorter) is the dream I think of thousands of Tahoe fans. Great show, thanks.

[@davehaley8640]

a 2 door is the holy grail, yup

[@kaivonmortazavi8656]

Great presentation of the pros and cons of this model and this power train. I actually watched this a second time months later and appreciated your views even more on this. Personally I keep going back and forth on the engine options. The 5.3L is just a no go for me. Im truly trying to understand where your heart is on the GM power plants as I knew from past videos you were one of the biggest fans of the 6.2L. Is that changing? If you were in the market for a family SUV to tow etc. and were not into moderate off roading other than going down some dirt/gravel roads while camping etc., would you buy an RST or Premier instead to get the 3.0L or buy the Z71 for its better looks, adaptive air ride etc and settle for 6.2L?

[@voided3]

They don't put the 3.0 Duramax in the Z71 Tahoes and Suburbans due to the front fascia/skid plate design not leaving room or adequate ventilation for an intercooler. I agree, though, that not offering it on the Z71 is a mistake as that would be a desirable combination.

[@mikek5298]

B.S. In 1969 and 1970 Dodge and Plymouth were able to use an engine-driven mechanical fan to cool the HUGELY inefficient 426 and 440 cubic inch engines in the Daytona and Superbird through a tiny slot in the nose cone. Are you trying to tell us that over 50 years later, GM cannot cool an engine only 40% as large as those old big blocks that is 120% more efficient than the old big blocks? You really drank the Kool Aid on that one.

[@Otownbassin]

@@mikek5298 that emissions equipped turbo diesel is probably powering 40% more inside the vehicle as well.

[@berto1014]

@@mikek5298 Then why didn't they put it in? Clearly there is demand for it, and demand = money. The thing about efficiency is that the fuel is burning more completely, meaning more heat is generated. More heat, means you need more cooling. People are largely going to be towing heavy loads with these vehicles at highways speeds, not high speed like the Daytona only with the weight of the vehicle and the driver. That would mean heat is even more of an issue, and you need a bigger radiator/intercooler. It's not drinking the kool aid being nuanced or understanding physics.

[@tenscourts]

Completely agree. The lack of a diesel in the AT4 and Z71 is about the front fascia and the intercooler. It has nothing to do with the weight. When I watch a video like this and here a statement that is so blatantly incorrect it makes me question anything they say.

[@stig120212]

Great straight up honest view and review!! thanks Nathan!!

[@JogBird]

youre not gonna get 16 mpg driving this like a sports car

[@nabatron21]

The wife and family gave a 21’ yukon at4 we love it for Road trips and hauling the kids around

[@sf44t1]

Agree 100% especially with regards to the engine choice options. I have the GMC AT4 Sierra Truck with the 3.0 L Duramax and it is incredible, best 50 miles so far with 7K is 34MPG, since I left the dealership averaging 24+ MPG, plenty of power same torque as the 6.2L but at 1500 RPM. I would purchase a GMC Yukon AT4 if it was available with the 3.0L Duramax. Well done Nathan!

[@bendino9016]

buy another trim, add better skid plates and suspension for less than at4 prices.

[@steebuGT]

Fwiw, I read that the skid plate is where the D-Max intercooler goes, so the D-Max physically cannot fit in the Z71 or AT4. Comparing the physical shape of the Z71 and AT4 to the other trims it makes sense.

[@MS-mr4zm]

[@Robert8455]

I agree with much if not all of what you said. 1) Prem Fuel, 2) crappy MPGs will ensure a very high fuel bill, combined with 3) a initial purchase price make me look at other options. A torquey fuel sipping turbo diesel seems like a smart offering so the question is why isn't it offered?

[@matthewholzmueller6292]

I read somewhere the reason for no duramax in the Z71 is the shape of the front bumper and front skid plate prevents room for the diesel inner cooler and necessary piping. I don't know how true this is.

[@samiaziz2665]

You are correct. Also the The 3L is inline 6 that’s longer then the V8 and it stick out further in the front. They would have redesign the front of the tahoe to allow 3L to fit

[@kevinr5187]

We have the 22 GMC Yukon SLT version, my biggest disappointment was you could not get adaptive cruise control in the lower trim level SLT. Guess what? a month after we took delivery the luxury package SLT now comes with adaptive cruise. The other issue is the well wheel liners are not plastic, but some type cardboard impregnator with carpet. Make it a pain to get clean if you pick up mud. The other fail is the rear tail lights on the GMC have the mold injection point in the center of the tail light and it looks cheap. Also GMC logo is inside the tail light, but it is not chrome like the Tahoe. Other than the above we love our Yukon. SLT is just the right package. The price for the Denali really jumps the price up.

Another one wanting the option of the diesel in the Yukon AT4. They offer it in the Sierra version, why not the Yukon? I also wish they would offer proper towing mirrors. They don't have to be the huge ones like the truck but something that can extend so I can see around my car hauler.

[@MrAjay3234]

Well done N8 If I really have to push myself pass the new sequoia I’d definitely go for the in-line 6 diesel

[@johnnylong2049]

I looked it up too because I would rather have the mpg of the duramax on either the Z71 or AT4 suv but it can’t be done because the intercooler would not fit with the different front bumper. They could have switched the bumpers if that was the case.

[@harib9793]

I think the key to this SUV is comfort and moderate off roading. Very few may buy Z71 and whoever may buy this SUV may not care about the cost of gas. Adding multiple configurations can only increase cost. Sometimes cost is the differentiation in a class and targeted toward a certain audience/demographics.

[@off-roadingcars]

Thank you for pointing out the high price on this vehicle. I agree its way up there. Great vehicle though

[@kevonwalker8392]

Them things all ready got a recall on the drive shaft

[@MJM750]

what is the deal with the independent rear suspension? I know why they changed it but does it have drawbacks or compromises for towing and curvy roads? I saw a 2021 IRS cornering on the interstate right next to a 201x solid rear axle tahoe and the IRS leaned over noticeably more. Now whether thats perceptible while driving idk?? Let me know how you like the IRS bc right now im not a fan. I like solid rear axles for their well, solidness. Their control, they anti-sway, and lateral stability while towing.

[@Nathans_Margarita_Salt]

GM should stick that new High Output 2.7 in 1 of these and drop the price about $10k and they would be alot more attractive to the average person who doesnt care about V8's and just wants a big safe, somewhat efficient SUV to drive around

[@mybro727]

Do y’all complain about the fuel economy of ole Toyota V8s? No. But GM did way more than Toyota did to modernize their engines - at one point the 6.2L V8 was achieving the same highway mpg as the Lincoln Navigator with the Raptor V6 engine. In attempt to mitigate their thirsty 8 cylinders they’ve implemented all types of technology. But of course people like you pushed back! You demand a V8 but don’t like start/stop. You don’t like AFM. Cylinder deactivation. But you’re also the first to complain about inferior fuel economy with the audacity to blame the manufacturer for not putting the customer experience first. It makes absolutely no sense.

[@revgordon91]

Great video! Yeah, it's too expensive for me. I'll buy it used.

[@BrianNC81]

I really wanted to like the new Sequoia but the cargo capacity to fit dog kennels in the back absolutely sucks and was a big let down. The hybrid battery is below the 3rd row and it doesn't fold flat and you can't remove it for a flat large cargo area . It's less useful than our smaller 4runner. Ended up ordering a Duramax suburban for the ultimate road trip vehicle. Don't care about z71 since I'm not taking a 70k vehicle into anything serious off-road.

Nathan, getting much better with his reviews, not sure what you are doing to improve but well done! I like the GM large SUVs, but agree completely the diesel is probably the only option I would choose. I mean - 16mpg w/ premium (in CA at $5.20/gal now) means too much money. The other issue is the rear suspension height ... I don't off road much, but that dragging lower control arm could be a non-starter. GM has improved a lot ...

[@finnianfitzsimons623]

[@MoneyShot_CM]

Great video Nathan, a lot of your negative points are what had been holding me back on one of these, it's just too much money and not enough capability. Love that diesel, now put it in the Z71 or at4. I hate how they segregate the options as well. You can't get the electronic limited slip unless you get the air suspension. And you can't get the 6.2 and the Z71 unless you get the air suspension. Yeah, you can get the RST with the 6.2 but you get no electronic limited slip and you don't get the benefits of the Z71. The jury is still out on the mechanical limited slip that comes in the lower offerings with the non-air suspension. Looking forward to seeing more about the new Sequoia, it just seems tougher and I think we can see it's going to be a lot more capable, I'm just hoping the pricing is within range and less than the Tahoe or Yukon. What sucks about the Sequoia is it's not going to get nowhere near the MPG of that turbo diesel Duramax, which I want bad.

Going back more than a decade, I have numerous conversations with dealerships about a diesel option for Chev SUVs. Then they looked at me, like I was a trouble maker for asking for a diesel option. So I stopped asking. No idea why Chevrolet is so negative on diesel for this vehicle when Duramax is such an excellent engine.

[@wims58ej]

I had a GMC Canyon with a duramax with 15,000 miles on it. It threw a rod through the side of the block in the middle of nowhere in British Columbia. 200 miles away from anything. Took them 45 days to get the engine on a slow boat from Taiwan. I sold the truck as soon as I got it back home. Will never buy another truck with a small Duramax. The Duramax in the Tahoe is only 3 liter. That is too tiny of a motor to make that much torque. Recipe for disaster it you tow anything heavy and actually use that torque. The mechanic at the dealership that repaired it said the small Duramax engines are junk. They fail a lot.

I think every reviewer I have watched gets it wrong. Nathan you seem like a person who is very difficult to make happy. There is nothing wrong with the 5.3 it produces plenty of power and torque to move the cottage on wheels. It also runs on regular octane. After owning all of the previous generations on Tahoes this is by far the best ideration. I LOVE the fact that the big ugly shit lever is no longer there. It seemed so out of place on such a great dashboard layout. It really helps the drive feel extra space. Every time I move my right hand towards the wheel or the touch screen I notice that its not there. The infotainment is far better than anything before. Now I know you are comparing this to the other trucks, but come on man. A Ford? Also, your test vehicle is also missing the tubular running boards that come with the Z71. (this would be a legit off road complaint).

Not sure about discounting the price, the new Sequoia and Expedition will both be more expensive, the Yukon is slightly more expensive, Nissan is going to be the only truck based full size SUV that is cheaper, he turbos might be worth it to some for torque and possibly MPG but as crazy as 65K US sounds it is par for the course now

As good as the independent rear suspension is for ride quality and comfort, it severely reduces ground clearance by the rear axle.

[@levthelion]

Dafuk? Ground clearance is higher with IRS. You cant do much about the a rear solid axle height other than get bigger tires. Theres a reason Raptors are priced the way they are.

The problem with the Diesel engine and this suv if they say the cooling system for the diesel don’t fit because the front design

What's the difference between at4 and the Z71 ?? I think it's the same

[@randyellison6652]

Gmc and Chevy

One big problem with the Tahoe is that you can't get them. They are almost always already sold the moment they hit dealer lots.

[@smrtguy77777]

You have to custom order.

Still no hooks on Sequoia?

[@TheJmatagi]

I have heard the diesel is too tall for the off-road package. I have not measured or anything, but maybe it’s true.
