Wow, Thislife1977...Why the vitriol? Quark stated his approach to making an informed $80K or more decision. I'm 110% in the camp that takes a very critical approach to a test drive. I have posted a number of times regarding my desire to replace my 2010 Tahoe LTZ with one of the then "new" GMTK2XX platform vehicles. (2014-2020) Thank goodness for this forum! Had I not followed the countless threads outlining the teething problems of members who had been totally frustrated and disgusted with them after many trips to the dealer to fix, what in some cases were design problems, I would have had already jumped in with both feet on another first model year Escalade. No thanks.
With the new GMTT1XX platform vehicles, it appears that with seat belts, seat mounting bolts, EBC vacuum pump, broken engine valve springs, lifters, on and on, (plus how many TSB's??) that they're going down that same bumpy road. Here's something to consider...look at some of the used car ratings over the past 6 years or so. The '14 to '17 model year triplets had very poor ratings. Happily, the '18 and '19 MY (assume '20s will be the same.) vehicles were at the top tier of high quality used vehicles. The first four MY customers were the guinea pigs who paid the price of product development for GM.
This forum offers a lot of information...most credible, some not, but one can always learn something that fits their needs to find a fix for their existing vehicle, or make an informed decision on purchasing new or used one. We all share a common interest.
