I’m currently bouncing between four different vehicle choices and really need the opinion of someone who is not my wife. Basically I need an outsiders perspective.

Here are the four vehicles I’m looking at:
2025 Yukon AT4
2025 Tahoe Z71
2025 Lincoln aviator
2025 Genesis GV80

The exact build of each of these vehicles is sort of irrelevant but they all hover around the same purchase price, which is important

We’re two relatively young people with no kids as of yet and history of GM vehicles.

Looking for general opinions about the vehicles themselves and if anyone has any experience that they can share. Hoping for some info thay may help us shed some light on this decision. Thank you.
I will be married for 50 years next month, and I've learned a few things during that period, many the hard way.

1. You wife most definitely has an opinion, and you need to figure out what that is. I know, often that can be harder than tackling a bull without rope, but you need to coax that opinion out of her. Because, you will know her opinion after you've made the decision, hopefully the right one.

2. Happy Wife = Happy Life A very trite saying, but as true as the earth continuing to revolve around the sun. And, if you plan to keep the vehicle for any length of time, you want her to be happy with it.

Just my 2 cents worth...

I'm biased a little, I like GM especially lately and have had two Yukons in last several years. The Z71 Tahoe is also super nice. I've had overall good sales and service experience with GM over the last 30 years.

I'd steer clear of Genesis. A significant number of dealers have closed, and they're basically terrible Hyundai sales and service teams. I had a (Hyundai) Genesis sedan and a Genesis G80 and the sales and service experiences were miserable across two different dealers. Their promises of concierge and loaner services are at best a stretch and at worst a flat out lie. Any time I needed a loaner or concierge pickup I was quoted several months out, even for recalls. Never once was able to even get a loaner car. Multiple trips to the service department for the same issue before it was resolved. Just overall terrible experiences. Sales experience was a little scummy as well, they told me I qualified for a "pull ahead" to get out of my lease early to get into a new Genesis and I agreed...then I received a $2000 bill from Hyundai finance that I had to fight the dealership to pay. I had everything in writing thankfully.
