Am I too young to be driving a Tahoe?

I was considering the Denali, but I just fell in love with the chevy!

Mind if we ask what you do that affords you the ability to buy a $60K+ Car at 18? Whatever it is its working!

It's only a "mom car" if your mom (parents) helped you buy it as the majority of 18yo's in America would not be able to afford 65k or be approved for a loan (well maybe some predatory lending)

As long as you pay yourself first (retirement/appreciating assets) you can spend your money however you like on depreciating assets like cars. Assuming you want to keep your ability in the future to buy new Tahoes

That said I love my Tahoe. Favorite vehicle and favorite place in the US

I don't see it as a mom-mobile at all. At least not in comparison to a Honda Pilot, a Toyota Highlander, or any SUV that is literally a minivan with slightly more masculine sheetmetal.

It's probably more unusual for an 18 year-old to have an everyday need for a Tahoe. I'm 45, 2 kids, busy ski schedule in winters, pull the camper around in summers, and always seem to have a set of projects around the house that require a capable vehicle. Plus, if my daughters are running around with their friends on the weekends, I imagine I would rather they all pile into my car than someone else's.

If I didn't have this profile I'd probably be driving a smaller, 2-row SUV like a JGC or similar. It's just easier to deal with usually.

But this is 100% about preference and not what is correct. There is no correct.

Heck, if you can afford it, by all means do it. It's probably a neat vehicle, so by all means enjoy!

Dont worry what anyone else thinks if you enjoy it, do you.

I get a little static as well, I'm 33 and single with no kids lol. I like going on roadtrips, my car before this was an LS460 and people gave me flack about it as well.
