I have an older Yukon (which is the same as a Tahoe) and LOVE IT. Most SUV's especially the GMC/GM ones are SAID to be known for tranmission problems, but I have never had any w/ mine...and it is a '99 (yes, we need to upgrade, but it is still running and driving GREAT and looks great too) and my sister has an 01 Tahoe and has not had any problems w/ hers either. When we do upgrade, we are going w/ another Yukon or Tahoe.

We have friends w/ new Yukon/Tahoes and Nissan Armada (sp) and Toyota Sequia (sp)...and the Chevy and Toyota have been the best ones out of all of them.

My DH buys cars/trucks for the company he works for and he knows all the sales people really well and when he was researching for a new one for us, they all pulled toward the Chevys/GMC's and the Toyota was a close second.

Also, his company has now went w/ all Chevys for their trucks, vans and SUV's and they have been easier to maintenance then the others they have had. I think he said that it was cheaper maintenance/parts/etc on them. They have a company Tahoe that has over 300k miles on it and it is still in great condition...course, once they get to so many miles, they are auctioned off for new ones, but that is great!

But, it all comes down to what you like and what deal you can get on either of them. Gas will be high on any SUV..the newer ones seem like they take more to fill up then mine..which is odd since the newers are suppose to be more milage friendly.

Anyway, happy car hunting...how fun!!!
