I have, I've rented both a Yukon and a Suburban in FL for a week each, I still wouldn't buy one although I get the appeal.

We were talking about this after we loaded back up from Ocean City and used every square inch of the Pacifica, if we had gotten that GLS or that Telluride we wouldn't have been able to take one car. The only SUV that we could have bought and still fit everything and all of us in one vehicle is a Suburban, not even a Tahoe. Then the problem is you then have to drive that Suburban around every day, which wouldn't fit in the garage and would have to sit on the street in front of the house, no thanks.

Good friend of mine had a newer Yukon and traded it last year for a BMW iX, his wife has a full Range Rover. He said the same thing, the Yukon was just too big to comfortably drive and park around here.

 

I haven't driven the latest Yukon or its siblings before, but our Expedition rental in Toronto was very nice. Fit 6 and all our bags comfortably as we went between Toronto and Niagara. Was a bit big once we got into the Toronto leg of the trip, but still manageable. Drove much better than the QX80 I had a few weeks ago. My neighbor with the pre-refresh Escalade loves his. He's got it in matte black and it does look nice when I see him around the neighborhood

 

GM just does the big SUVs the best and has from the get go. This Yukon is shocking how good it is.

I get what Bit and Steve are saying. But the truck shrinks and is cake to drive. That’s what a lot of people say from sources he doesn’t follow and they’re right.

These are so solid that you can feel it when the 22” rims hit bad dips and potholes, but it stays tight as a drum the chassis, feeling of rigidity etc.

 

I agree. The Expedition feels old inside and feels super cheap. Not a fan of the V6 either. Should be a V8

 

EB I don’t like the power delivery unless you’re just having pure fun hanging on. When we had that awesome King Ranch even my mother, in her 70s, as a passenger, was like “wtf why is this lurching…” as we drove up the California coast at our family reunion.

People say you need to adjust to the Ecoboost, adjust your driving habits etc which I don’t like. That truck hauled *** but no, big v8 is wayyyy better.

 

You probably have to adjust your driving habits its to ANY power plant. Each one is different.

 

Not EVs, they are all the same

 

Not a naturally aspirated one, there's no lag.

 

Pedal feel for my wife's 3 is significantly different than my Rivian. Much more linear in the Tesla and the regen braking is much more aggressive in the Rivian (on standard regen)

 

I'm surprised they haven't put the pedal on the touchscreen like everything else.


 

Don't give them any ideas

 

The 19 foot long Suburban I had always felt 19 feet long lol.

Yeah, EVs don't all feel the same lol

 

You need to include the Yukon and Tahoe with that. GM definitely outsells Ford in this category.

 

The 3.5's I've ridden in(I haven't driven one yet) have been rocket ships. I think you were experiencing either computer induced input lag or the transmission being caught off guard.

The 3.5 unequivocally is faster off the line regardless of any perceived turbo lag. Feeling like the 6.2 is faster doesn't actually make the 6.2 faster. Objective reality comes into play here.

 

I owned a 3.5 EcoBoost and it really doesn't suffer from lag, but absolutely not if you have it in Sport.

As an aside, one of the nice things about having the Stupidest Pickup Ever Made™ is that it's got 40% more HP, a 40% faster time to 60 and 70% more torque than that 6.2 in the Yukon Denali. Gotta love stupid
