Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

[SARNCAN]

They get 17/23. My 2018 suburban was 16/23. The 6 cylinders don't help them at all and they're only besting the burbs city because they have start/stop. So really the new GMs dropping 3 mpg is really disappointing. But only real world testing will tell i guess.

In the previous generation, AFM helped to lower fuel consumption, and at the same time we still got the power of V8. So that is a win-win in my opinion.
Those 2021 suppose to show higher mpg for all new tech (DFM-start/stop-more aluminum body parts-independent rear suspension)

Haha yeah the Toyotas get really bad mpg. This 2020 LX window sticker says 12 city / 16 highway.

I thought it was weird the new GM's got knocked down 3 mpg because they are "bigger" according to a spokesperson but I'm like damn can't they deactivate like 6 or 7 cylinders now and have start/stop

Ouch 12/16 - is that on high test? How does it drive vs burb?

What's high test? I'm not sure, its the EPA rating. The burb was a premier with 22s and it drove like a sports car almost, in comparison. The LX is EXTREMELY comfortable instead. The steering is slower, more turns to lock but its still a pump driven system vs the electric in the burb so it has a different feel while still being "Lexus numb" but sometimes it feels surprisingly heavy. Overall, the ride is way more smooth and noticibly more quiet.

I got it for offroading. Something the MRC and front bumper couldn't handle. I'm really excited because of the new found capability that I have

High test is premium fuel. On topic with thread, my neighbor has been seen in this 21 denali for at least a couple months now. It is much longer than the 20, and has dealer plates...

I’d say it’s time to visit your neighbor for some inside photos.

Dont know them, so Im not positive its theirs. I first saw it a couple months ago thinking, "how the hell they got one of those already?" I may go walk over there in a few minutes...

High octane fuel, known today as Top Tier 91-94 octane. We're getting old!

How many times have you looked at a woman from behind and think oh very nice, only to then see the rest and go nope.

Exactly how I feel about these new models.

That’s not what top tier fuel means.

Lucky you! That Denali looks sweet. Does your neighbor own/manage a car dealership? If so that’s a good person to get to know.

And yes, definitely walk over there and get the scoop.
