I’ve had my 99 since 02 and this is an accurate observation. I just ask/search Tahoe parts in the yards.
You think this may have more to do with the type of buyer who buys them than the truck itself? May be more apt to do maintenance, beat on it less, fewer commercial users, etc?
As indicated in the many responses, the main differences are in the trim and finishes. Please note, however, that within the Yukon line especially, there are multiple trim level steps up the pricing scale, so be sure that you are comparing trim apples to trim apples on both trucks.
no idea really other than Chevy has more product line's, like I said under the skin there is basically no difference. Some people seem to think chevy/gmc/cadillac use inherently different parts. They do but only for the surface of what you see different style grill, dash, cluster, some buttons, exterior trim, etc. Powertrain wise, frame and all the important parts are the same. So many parts you can swap from A~Z from vans, pickups, suv's. any motor with a matching 8th digit vin can be a direct swap doesn't matter what it came out of.
Do you have any idea if the fog lights have been improved in the 2025?
From the pictures they look to be projector lenses. I've always been a fan of projector head/fog lights versus reflector. They do a much better job with concentrated and intense lighting. The 21+ GM SUVs all use LED reflectors with the Yukon also having LED reflector fogs. For '25 the Chevy and GMC models go to LED projector head/fog lights.
Thank you for the answer.From the pictures they look to be projector lenses. I've always been a fan of projector head/fog lights versus reflector.

FWIW - the IIHS tested the '21 Tahoe and one of their test criteria is headlight performance. The Tahoe headlights received a poor rating. They haven't tested the Yukon, but I own one and honestly they are not impressive with their light output. Very similar design, just different aesthetics from the Tahoe headlight design. It will be interesting to see when the '25 platform gets on the road and starts getting reviews, but I'll bet the head/fog light performance will be improved just by the change to projector lenses alone.
