    To all the Ford fanboys in here, this is a Chevy video and if you don't like this Tahoe then go watch your little Ecoshit video's, don't be jealous because GM still uses 100% all American made V8's and Ford doesn't.

      @freedomisntfree_44 4 года назад

      I don’t really care if it’s v8 or not. I’d take any for engine over the 5.3 because of how damn slow it is. Both ecoboosts and the coyote smoke it and beat the 6.2 as well.

    Makes the Durango SRT seem like a steal. The Dodge has more power, Brembos all the way around, tows more, has independent suspension all the way around and costs less...GM product is wider and will get better mileage. With the exception of the Brembos, not sure why you wouldn’t automatically go with the Escalade if you had to have a GM product.

    GM needs to offer the 6.2 in a Z71 Suburban. Tahoe is a half-size too small for real family duties. And my family actually lives in the sticks, so a street-biased performance version is useless. I need the airdam deleted, more ground clearance, and functional skidplates.

    • @AkioWasRight
      @AkioWasRight 6 лет назад +4

      It's hasn't gotten too expensive, the market has just changed. Tahoes, Expeditions, etc. where once cheaper and the choice of middle-class families, but buyers have shifted to trucks, and also to crossovers, which can not only be had for much less money, they're really better suited for most people who buy them.

      Use Trollgun 01 I have a good paying job, not the point. Point is Gm is an everyday brand national brand that uses a lot newer more stream lined manufacturing techniques while also using a lot of cheaper made parts from Mexico. This should be helping lower to prices not increasing them every year.. Inflation does not help but that's a whole other matter.

      William Snyder It was originally called a Blazer and then the name got changed to Tahoe, I believe in 1995. I think GM will probably wait and see how the new Ford Bronco sells before GM decides to come out with the 2 door Tahoe again.

  • @gjolinares23
    @gjolinares23 6 лет назад +2

    I don't think it should be anything special just like it looks. The 6.2 belongs in suvs and trucks. They should've supercharged the 6.2 and thrown it in the Tahoe and Silverado and made them SS trucks. Throw a twined 3.6 in the impala like the xts while they are at it and make another SS and same setup in the canyon and Colorado and that would bring back the syclone. They would need other upgrades and cosmetic changes as well but come on GM you are better than that..

  • @rcairforceone

    I know it will be said but 75000 dollars is quite a sum of money. These things are huge cash cows to GM. Only a decade ago they were the price of today's mid size (and even some compact) crossovers. Isn't that crazy?

    • @Seveneleven44
      @Seveneleven44 6 лет назад +3

      Darius Dennis I don’t know about that man...my mother loves these Chevy Tahoe’s and I remember in 2001my parents bought a brand new Z71 Tahoe and it was $48 or $50k. Then in 2007 they bought an LTZ and that was $60,000. Tahoe’s are sweeeet rides. They were never as cheap as a crossover...maybe a stripped down LT or LS might still cost you $38,000. You can get a lot of vehicle for $38,000.

    • @92ASC
      @92ASC 6 лет назад +2

      Tahoes have never been cheap/affordable rides(even if the build quality indicated otherwise). Even back in the 90's-00's a decently equipped Hoe could easily run $50-60k+ in today's money factoring for inflation. I don't disagree that these trucks are way overpriced for what they are, especially the older models with the shitty Fisher Price plastic interiors, but for a top trim Tahoe with the 6.2L engine(same engine that's in the Denali and Escalade), $75k isn't too far fetched.

    • @AkioWasRight
      @AkioWasRight 6 лет назад

      That's because buyers have shifted to crossovers, which are about 1/2 the cost. People don't want heavy, gas guzzling BOF tanks anymore, they want size but with more refinement and efficiency with car-based CUVs. It's also what manufacturer's would prefer to build. If the wanted to comply with CAFE rules, they needed to market more car-based vehicles.

    I could buy two ram 2500 4x4 tradesman trucks for the price of one RST Tahoe. Ya I know the ram's have 6.4 hemis which are in my opinion only, a little over-rated on performance compared to the 6.2 chevy. But the new ram 2500 4x4 has a beefy suspension which you can really appreciate off road. Unless you have wheelbarrows full of money to pay for the Chevy, and depending where you live, buying one of these could be like buying property or even a house. After lic, reg., and taxes, your looking at $1300.00 a month payment; that doesn't include insurance. Besides, it's too pretty to treat it like I would any of my ranch vehicles.

    • @ALMX5DP
      @ALMX5DP 6 лет назад

      Not supposed to be a ranch vehicle... It's a premium SUV, so you cant really compare it to a stripper workhorse truck.

    • @elkillerx
      @elkillerx 6 лет назад

      That's true, besides the high monthly payment by the time you finish paying it off the truck will probably be worth around 30k or less. I don't know I mean there's people who can afford it but personally I wouldn't buy car brand new off the lot. I've always settled for something a little older and cheaper.

      @ALMX5DP 6 лет назад

      Probably because it would have been the most expensive to change. I'm no safety expert, but I bet they would need to re-certify that airbag cover if they did anything like that. Just a guess though.

    ahh wireless charging. Once you have it, you realize how useless and finicky it is. Even if your phone would fit, slam on the breaks and it will slide enough to no longer charge... As for the car, way too expensive. You are approaching Mercedes GL 550 territory. I have driven from Houston to the Springs several times, it can easily be done in one day and for less than $100 in gas (with the right car). ;)

  • @tacopro218
    @tacopro218 6 лет назад +21

    Thanks for another informative video. Your point about the fuel mileage is an undisputed truth about many large displacement motors and that is that they can attain acceptable fuel mileage and produce high horsepower. That 6.2 liter engine pumps out over 400 hp and it pushes a heavy 5,000-6000 lb vehicle down the road and achieves better fuel economy and acceleration numbers than my 3.5 liter Tacoma does pushing 4,400 lbs. I'm also pretty sure you can supercharge the 6.2 without losing much fuel economy and have an 550 hp plus. Yes, I want a supercharged V8 in my Tacoma but my bank account says no.

    • @arbiter1
      @arbiter1 6 лет назад +2

      yea 550-600ish with little to no loss in reliability, pretty sure with the 10 speed could adjust the tuning etc and gain a little since factory tunes are not always the best. Same engine puts out 650+ in a corvette and people mod those to get 800+ at the rear wheels, and they are still good for daily drive.

      @michaelspizzirri4079 6 лет назад +1

      How do you come to that conclusion? Have you driven any Ford's? Have you ever sat in the 3rd row of a Tahoe, have you sat in the 3rd row of an expedition? Have you had any experience with an ecoboost vs a Silverado? Maybe you should be less biased and give some actual reasons behind your statement.

    • @tonyzhang4924
      @tonyzhang4924 6 лет назад +5

      Well apparently I've driven both 2017 Tahoe and Expedition, they both rides good and are quiet inside, but I will take a v8 over a turbo v6 anytime, because it sounds better and is less expensive to maintain. Plus the ecoboost v6 doesn't even get better fuel economy than the v8 Tahoe. You got a point there at the 3rd row, Tahoe's floor is too high up and Expedition's 3rd row is more comfy. If that's what ur looking for in a suv, go ahead and buy the Expedition, but remember, there is still the Suburban. Now that the new Expedition came out it may be more qualified to compete with Tahoe/Suburban, but the look from outside is too SUVish, and is a bit too pricy. I'd rather take a v6 GLS450 Mercedes. Don't get me wrong, I still think the F series and Silverado are equally as good and Ford make better heavy duty trucks, I will take a v8 5.0 F150. I just think that GM killed it with the full size SUVs like Tahoe and Escalade and the sales proved that people favor GM full size SUVs. If these are the actual reasons you are looking for

    gm's magnetic ride control suspension tuning is unnecessarily firm. i have driven 2 different 2017/2018 chevrolet suburban "premier" (premier trim includes mag ride suspension) models recently, and both vehicles exhibited an un-refined/harsh ride in certain situations. for example; it seemed as if every concrete freeway/tollway imperfection was transmitted directly to the cabin of the vehicle; shakes and vibrations were amplified, when compared to driving the same dfw roads in a 2017 suburban LT (not equipped with optional mag ride suspension).
    secondly, the mag ride suspension is great at minimizing "pitching and bouncing" at highway speeds on undulating surfaces; however, this superior body control results in an surprisingly firm and uncomfortable ride.
    mercedes-benz gls450 will be the next suv in my garage....SORRY, GM!

And why would someone buy a performance SUV makes no sense to spend a fortune more on a performance SUV when your using it for family use lmao that's like putting.

  • @johntaylor6269
    @johntaylor6269 6 лет назад

    I own a 2011 Tahoe and it’s absolute garbage. The interior parts are so cheap and falling apart. The dash alone cost $1200 to replace and they haven’t even fixed the issue so I will likely have to t replace it again on 5 Years when it fails. I was hoping that Chevy would recall it since this is a chronic issue and it cracks at the passenger side airbag. Guess they will just wait till someone gets hurt from dash shrapnel hurting or killing a occupant. The 5.3 is anemic and will likely wipe out the cam by 100k. I can already feel a big loss in power since it was new. Dealer said it’s normal. This will be the last Chevy I own.

      Being that the RST is sort of an à la carte option package, I think people will find themselves in one more often. If you dont want the premium trim level, dont want the 6.2, dont want the magnetic ride, or the big brakes, it's all optional and that is what I like most about the RST. You can have any flavor you want from mild to wild or (relatively) inexpensive to expensive.

The 6.2 liter is a corvette engine with a different engine block material(cast iron vs aluminum in the corvette). So it was like a crime that the Silverado, Yukon, and Escalade all got the 6.2 and not the Tahoe. I love how huge the exhaust is. Factory borla exhaust is a must!!!. I want this truck. Bad.
