Opinions on the previous generation of tahoes or Yukons?

I had a 1997 Tahoe that ate brakes. I was replacing front pads every 7,500 miles and rotors every 15,000. I tried multiple brake brands and pad compositions with basically the same results. It was driven about 45 miles daily (total) in heavy stop and go traffic over somewhat hilly terrain. Other than that I had zero engine problems other than replacing a tensioner pulley.

Glad to hear others had bad experiences with the brakes. Now I know that mine wasn’t just a fluke.

07-14 Yukon's sure do have ugly headlights but I love the rest of the body lines. Would rather have a Chevy front end.

Have to agree. GMC didn't "surpass" the Chevy until the K2s in terms of front end appeal. I absolutely loved my 08 Avalanche. I was so pissed they weren't making a K2 Avy. But I succumbed and bought the 'Burb. The 08 Avy without the body cladding of the 800's IMO was a perfect blend of rugged yet clean appearance. Def still my fav body style thus far.

Although there is a small place in my heart for my dad's old 92 Silverado. The OBS with the smoothed out rectangular headlights was such a nice look.

Had a 2003 that was beautiful but a lemon. Brakes didn't work. It was actually dangerous. Was able to replace it with an 04 at no cost to me. It never gave me any trouble. Loved the body and was very comfortable. I presently own a 1997 2 door. Much different truck. Rides like a truck. The brakes we're also worthless to the point of being dangerous. Replaced the fronts with slotted, larger rotors, larger calipers and a new later model master cylinder. Night and day difference. If I had to choose I'd take the 2000-2005 models. Just a better truck though I love the two door styling and wish they had continued into the newer models.
