Nice of Shia LeBeouf to drop by to demonstrate the interior.

These are probably the height of GM's large SUV engineering. They just simply WORK! I still see many on the road, and many in decent condition. Oh boy, the Suburban 2500 was so under-appreciated! But yes, with this generation, GM built up a cult following that till this day maintains 60%+ of the full-size SUV market.

I have a Tahoe (here in Mexico was called Sonora), from 2001, and it is different in that it still was built (in the USA) with the old 350! Such a sweet motor! We are the first owners, and imho from the next generation onwards the trucks are a step backwards. The cylinder deactivation tecnology apparently gives lots of troubles. These 2000 generation is so reliable.

I used to have a 2000 Yukon XL with 200k miles in college. One of the most reliable vehicles I've owned!

See Karen? This is an SUV. Not your 4-cylinder trash, front-wheel drive, lifted box. Man these are beautiful!! I had the previous model, a '93. Last time I checked, it was still running with 300,000+ miles on it. Always wanted one of these newer ones as they styling is so nice. It still retains the styling queues of the old, even though every inch of it is pretty much new. They were not very good on gas, but who cares. If you were getting one of these, gas wasn't a problem. Plus, these are indestructible. I wish I could find a nice, low-mile one. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I had a 2002 Tahoe LT. I absolutely loved that SUV. After 10 years and over 200k, I finally had to let it go.

My 2000 2500 suburban is an incredible vehicle. My parents bought a 01 yukon xl new and still drive it today, i went down to AZ to find a rust free stock gmt800....the 4l80e, lq4 and legendary comfortable gmt800 interior is the best combo. I dont care that 15 mpg is a good tank, there's no vehicle id rather take anywhere. Unstoppable in snow, tons of ground clearance, room for stuff and people, quiet, comfortable, can tow anything, rides great, incredible turning radius...its the best SUV ever made.

I've seen this era of Tahoe/Yukon on the streets of South Carolina with lots of mods including huge rims.

I’m glad these are still affordable today 4500-2000 usually

I have an 01 Tahoe 5.3 4x4 and I love it. 215,000 miles on the dash but its running great. I did a lot of maint. in the 2 years I've owned it as I plan to keep it as long as I can. New belt, tensioner, idler pulley. New AC belt and ac tensioner, new ac compressor and accumulator. New intake manifold gasket, new fuel pump, new water pump. New front and rear rotors and breaks. New bilstien shocks. New spark plugs. New stereo, speakers, replaced factory sub. And I had the transmission rebuilt 3 months ago. I got the Tahoe for $100 not running (fuel pump). Cosmetically it's in great shape and almost no rust on body and superficial surface rust on a solid frame. I have done all the installs and repairs to the vehicle myself aside from the transmission rebuild. $100 (purchase) + $1100 (parts and upgrades) + $2600 (transmission rebuild) and all in all I have a very sorted Tahoe for under 4k.

Have a 99 Silverado myself, and my roommate has an 04 Suburban, these cars are great machines and literally my entire family drives a truck or SUV from this gen

I saw this and had to look at it. Made me miss my 2002 Tahoe so much. I kept it for 16 years and 235K and never ever gave it a tune up. It was the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I finally traded it for a 2019 Traverse Premier which I really love, hope I can get half the great service from it as I did the Tahoe, thanks for this video

I’m a Ford guy but will happily admit the GMT800 platform is the best vehicle platform ever made. These along with the regular trucks are still everywhere. Unbelievable quality and reliability.

Still see these think they were the best trucks ever.

Some might say that's too expensive for a 20 year old truck, but it's less than 1/4 the price of any comparable new SUV from GM (which can't even be purchased in 3/4 ton form anymore), and will prove to be far more reliable than any of this new AFM garbage they're creating nowadays.

The Denali version + The Sierra of its time still breaks my neck when its still in complete stock form and original chrome. Better looking than the current trucks that hit $90K after options and out the door price.

Love the front in style of those gm’s

I JUST bought a 2000 Yukon xl with 144k miles. Seems great so far

My daily work truck is a RWD 5.3L 2004 Tahoe with 310k miles on it, and I'm picking up an AWD 6.0L 2005 Yukon Denali with 90k miles this weekend. These things are some of the most reliable tanks on the road. The Tahoe feels like a vehicle with 1/3rd the mileage. The powertrain, suspension, brakes, and chassis are all in strong shape. Only one out of four windows works and the only gauges still functioning are the speedometer, the odometer, and the fuel gauge... but the thing is a solid, dependable performer that has never let me down. That's why I'm buying another one while I still can! If only GM still knew how to build vehicles this good.

I work at my local chevy dealership in the service department. I rarely see these, but anytime I do see one, I enjoy driving one!

I love this generation so much when I was in 4th grade we got a 2001 suburban and we owned it for 4 years and sold it with over 300k miles and it still ran nice and smooth the next one we bought was a 2002 GMC Yukon XL and we've owned it for almost 7 years and we still have it to this day and along with that my mom now has a 2004 Chevy suburban that we bought back in April the 2000-2006 generation is a big part of our family

This was the last of the well built GM trucks. These things were the family haulers of choice when I was growing up and most of them are still rolling around today.

Just bought an ‘02 from my neighbors mom. Great car and only 90,000 miles. Needed a little work, but it will keep going for years to come.

Have owned several of those suv's in the last 10 years !!! My current one is a rust free Texas 2001 Suburban 1500 LT 5.3 with 325K miles, factory tow pkg has 3:73 and posi rear end 2 owner truck well kept straight body. STOLE IT for $1500 !! I use it to haul around car parts for my business :)

I still have an 01 XL that I tow a 5k lb travel trailer with. Still gets the job done with minimal problems. No way I would drop $60k+ on a new one. They just aren't made like this anymore

You know you're old when these vehicles are now considered retro review 😪

My 2006 GMC yukon 4x4 has been a great rig. With the 4.10 locking rear diff and my Dyno tune it moves out pretty quick for what it is.

My mom has one of these trucks, was the first car I ever drove. It recently crossed 189k miles and has not given up yet. They're bulletproof.

I love my 02 Suburban! 252k and tow with it, climb trails, etc and she keeps kickin.

Love these. 03 and up with the slight interior refresh. Still want one to this day.

Im surprised the running lights didn't burn out before finishing this episode

I’ve got a 2005 Yukon XL Denali, still in great shape after 15 years. More luxurious to me then the following year Denali, and man I sure love the 6.0 really makes that heavy bus move!

You know what really grinds my gears?? Captain chairs for 2nd row seats in a suburban or any full size suv

Wasn't it limo and VIP services that bought those (with the 2nd row captain chairs)?

With 310,000 miles on my 2003 Suburban z71, I am still happy!🤠 Last month I had a 2005 Suburban z71 park next to mine and they had over 500,000 miles on theirs!🤔

I own a 2002 GMC Yukon SLE 4.8l engine 375,500 miles later... Running Strong 💪 Clean and Rust Free...

It’s so weird to see them with functioning daytime running lights. Rare these days.

I still see these on the road today!!!!!! The GMT800 Suv series is regarded as one of the best!

Great trucks! Can’t go wrong with a GMT800. I got a Silverado and my brother got a Tahoe. Still going strong.

Hi I have a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe it's my everyday transportation bought it brand new. I watch MotorWeek every Saturday, I always want to see the video where they test driving the Tahoe and the suburban.

I had a '03 Tahoe I drove to 380k miles on my own before selling it. I didn't buy new again. Instead I found an '04 Suburban with 100k miles for $4500 and am very pleased as well as expecting another 300k miles. Talk about bang for your buck.

I have an 02 Tahoe bought from the dealership would not trade it for anything. My wife drove it for 20 years, we just bought a 22 Yukon, what a difference in size.

That silver GMC at 3:10 suddenly looks way better than other vehicles.

My favorite generation for these and their pickup siblings.

Driving a 2005 Tahoe Z71 everyday. 253k miles and solid. "Like a rock."

On my 5 mile commute to work I see at least 10 GMT800s, one day I drove around for about 40 minutes and counted about 50 of them. My 2005 Sierra has 220k on the clock and shows no signs of ever stopping, rust will kill it before the drivetrain dies. They are the best trucks and SUV's ever made

I own a 2003 Yukon XL with 140,000 miles on it and it runs perfectly. Great truck

Aaah, My Dad Used to own this vehicle, same colour, same body style, and it was a GMC Yukon. Sometimes I miss this car. I remember my dad went to another house to go talk with someone and me and my brother were in this car. We were just playing around and then i touched the light, and it wouldn’t turn off, but my dad sold it later that year and got a Ford freestar.
