We have a 2017 Tahoe Premier and I love it.
Previously had a 99 an 04. Still have the 99 actually.. The 04 miiiigt still be my favorite because it drove great and I liked the style but less to go wrong then the newer one.

We have had a 2020 Suburban premier four 4 years and its been trouble free. We are on top of maintenance and have only had one warranty repair -- the deployable steps. The LS doesn't have those so you should be fine.

I have been driving my 2008 Tahoe LS 4x4 since 09 and have 250K miles on it. It seems to be still running strong. Though last state inspection I was told to replace ball joints. I am looking at 2018-2020 LS 4x4 because I really don't feel the need for the upgrade models. I found a 2020 LS with 48000 miles and seems to have trans and oil changed regularly, Asking $32900 for the 2020 LS 4x4. 6 spd. I really like the looks of it except it is BLK exterior, Blk gets really hot here in the summer.

Any Advise, what to ask or look for?

Black exterior has paint issues. Stay white or light colors. GM has a major lawsuit over this. Black is difficult to keep nice. I even seen members that wax and ceramic there trucks have issues.

I had all Escalades except current gen and the k2 is the best. I did have lifter issues passenger at 79k & 108k driver side. You need to change the oil Castro oil Dexos 1 gen 2/3 every 4k or less. If you can afford to do the complete delete then it would be the best choice. Only the 2018-2020 10 speed.

2015-2020 was the model years, 2021 was the refresh.

2018-2020 6.2 10 speed is the one to get.

I like my 2008, but I am afraid that if I replace the engine then I may have to replace the tranny soon also. Parts are getting hard to find also. My driver side door wiring harness needs to be replaced, but I can't find one. I had to cut and replace some wires.

My 2008 Escalade lasted me 14 years 207k. I put new engine 190k and transmission at 150k. I was not nice to my 2008.
