You are a "newbie" in here,...... But you certainly not a newbie.....
Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

Yes, I would purchase my Tahoe again and again. My 2001 Tahoe is still our trip vehicle for vacations with 130,000 miles on the clock. I love that it does 80 effortlessly and is comfortable for long Interstate trips. I also use it to tow my classic 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to car shows, I have owned this Monte Carlo for over 50 years and it sits in my garage right next to my 23 year old Tahoe.

He’ll yeah. It is the last real 1500 SUV with solid rear axle. I have a 2018 with 112k now and it looks showroom. When it’s time to change it I will get a 2018-2020. 10 speed only not 6 or 8 speed.

I already bought it twice, I had a 2017 LS but was seduced by the 2019 Challenger Widebody and traded it in. After a year or so I really missed the practicality of the Tahoe and wanted to get one before they changed the rear end so I traded the Dodge in for a new 2020 LS in Shadow Grey. No complaints, havent had any warranty work and it runs like a clock. Yeah the AFM might be an issue someday but I keep the oil changed and my fingers crossed. I plan on keeping it a very long time.
Yes, I would purchase any of the generations I have owned......I'll never buy a 2021 or newer though. I've had a 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 (x2), and a 2017. All except one POS 2009 have been very good vehicles. I'm partial to the 2007-09 Denali with 6.2L, but have grown to really like the 2017 with a 6.2L in it as well.
I drive lots of different rental cars with my job and I can tell you there is so much JUNK being produced today that I would never pay anywhere near asking price for. My current whip is a new Equinox FWD with about 17k on it - what a turd! It's fine for bombing down a toll road, but anything more than smooth pavement seems like it's going to fall apart or the struts are gonna launch through the hood. If it was new with a warranty for 15 to 20k, maybe......not a chance at $30k.
The body on frame Tahoe/Yukon with solid rear axles are true trucks. You can use them, abuse them, and they keep kicking. Fantastic engineering IMO. Now that cost cutting has become the key mantra for fat cats looking for their dividend checks I don't think I'll ever replace mine with anything newer than 2020 unfortunately.

Im with ya on this brutha. My 19 is getting up there tho….and im definitely not a fan of 21+ gm’s.
We've had a 99 and 2004 Yukon and now a 2017 Tahoe Premier. Didn't shop around for other SUVs when we got the Tahoe, we were going to get either that or another Yukon.
The OBS one is bad on gas and drives like the truck they are. The next Gen was a huge improvement and might be my favorite because I like the styling and they didn't have as much of the electrical stuff and other things to go wrong as the newer ones. I love the looks of the 2017 and driving it. I'm also not a fan of the newer ones.
