Yes, the 5.3L engine rules but.....my 2017 is a harsher ride than my 2013 which was a harsher ride than my 1999. Throttle response has been progressively slower. Braking has become progressively softer. I hate the flat and hard seats in the 2017. The hideaway 3rd row in the 2017 is huge improvement. The rear wiper on the 2017 is better than previous. The hidden tow receiver is too high on the 2017. The collision avoidance vibrations are annoying. The tiny mirrors on the 2017 are a step backwards from the previous models. The "don't look at this screen" prompt is the pinnacle of stupidity. I hate the rear view mirror talking to me about On Star (I don't subscribe). The 1999 daytime light bulbs went out every so often but it was a quick fix. The 2013 and 2017 headlights are too difficult to access. The fog lamps have gotten progressively weaker and are useless on the 2017. I planned a 2021 purchase and held off due to lack of choice and availability. To buy a new one I will never just place an order again. For the 2022 I will sit in the muffugga and drive it before I buy it. I hope to stay with Tahoe but I like each one less than the one before.I'm in the market for a '17 Yukon Denali. Even though I don't tow, I have two kids and there's a lot to like about the Yukon. We take at least one long road trip a year and the comfort is a strong factor. I have a preference for the 6.2 and the 8 speed so that's where the Denali comes in.
I could get comparable room in a Chevy Traverse. Not sure how the new '18's drive though.
After seeing that Consumer Reports ranked the Yukon/Tahoe 8th out of 10 with 51 out of 100 points, would you buy it again?
From their perspective it's completely unreliable, won't handle accident avoidance, etc.
