99 yukon vs tahoe vs escalade to purchase

[murphyblack]

I have looked on here some but not immediately found any comparisons.
I am in need of a 2nd 4x4 to get around COLO. in winter, pull construction trailer, be reliable maybe get to the Mtns or the desert for some off-road but light off-road compared what many of you do and I used to do here.

I have chosen these three and have found some interesting comparisons where one owner with 99 tahoe and yukon compared the two he bought new and has significantly less issues with the yukon over the 110k miles he had put on both of them. I have some minor experience with a friends yukon I have borrowed for two different 1000 mile trips. No problems. I like all three, money is not the issue, reliability is and what might get torn up like the steps on most escalades. I was a reasonably good mechanic years ago but do not have time to rework one. If there is a better locale for this question, my apologies, please direct me.

You want this thing to work then stick with a tahoe or yukon.

tahoe, yukon, and escalade from 99 are basically the same truck other than the finish. hoe and yuk are the same other than the grill and badges.

escalade will have a ton of "comfort" items not usually found in hoes and yuks, but still the same drivetrain.

ot really comes down to what you want it to look like over performance between them

Escalade and Denali is the same looks, just the logo is different.

I will GO for with Escalade.. it looks alot nicer. and it has Heated Seat for the Front and Rear..

if your lucky like ME.. you will find One with a MoonRoof

I would stick with a Tahoe/Yukon as I personally like the front ends better. I'm not a fan of the rounded front end on the OBS Escalades and Denalies. But like procomp said, they are all basically the same vehicle however, the Escalade/Denali have some extra interior luxury feautures (ie two toned seats, heated leather and full power for both driver and passenger seats) but have the exact same drivline combination. You could logistically find these options in a regular Tahoe/Yukon if you look for it though.

They do...I'm not sure if it was standard or an option BUT I've seen quite a few with rear heated seats.

my old 99 denali had rear heated seats...

there all basically the same truck minus a few exterior changes. and the escalade has a center console with some wood grain and heated seats.

My 00 nali has front and rear heated seats. I believe I was told the only options were rear hatch or barn doors an onstar. The only diff I see between mine and the escalade is the style of leather used on the seats and the grill as stated above

Sorry all I stand corrected. I did not know that.. I guess you learn something new everyday. Where is the switch for the rear seats located?

Sorry if I jacked your thread Murphy..
