The Chevy suburban is the longest running name in automotive history, no model car has been produced longer for a reason, because its just simply a functional car. I have seating for 8 and can tow 8,500lbs it just simply works for everything you need (except good gas mileage)like he said but I nothing compares to the power of a v8 except a bigger gas guzzler.

On the other hand, I'd still rather get a used Ford, or if buying new, Toyota.

Scotty. I bought a new 2015 Suburban when they first came out in May of 2014. It was an expensive check to write, but it has been a very good vehicle. It now has 138,000 miles on it. I just changes plugs, belt, antifreeze, and all that. Just replaced the original brakes and front rotors as well. Rea is STILL original. It had a couple recalls, but no big deal. Averages about 16 MPG, but that is with stop and go driving. Out on the highway, it gets low-mid 20's mpg. We purchased it because we needed a vehicle that can carry seven people AND their luggage. No one else makes a vehicle that can do that. I really don't care what gas costs per gallon. This is the size vehicle we needed then. I change my own oil and filter, every 4,000 miles. Always use Mobil 0-20W. Doesn't use a drop of oil. I think you would find if you interviewed most people who drive these vehicles, they do so because they need a vehicle of that size. Most of us do not care what gas costs or how many mpg the vehicle gets. They are tools that are purchased to do a job. By the way, I buy my vehicles new, keep them for 10 years. Some may have 200K on them when I trade them, and some more. The highest was a 1982 Honda Accord with 425,000 miles one it. I wore 5th gear out on that thing. But the A/C still worked when i traded it in!

I paid a lot to tow it just to realize that there's a safety shut-off switch in the gas tank, and it can activate to prevent fuel from reaching the engine when you're in a collision. You just need to reset it as a circuit breaker (my car has it behind the fuel nozzle in the trunk). Maybe that's what happened to the Mercury Grand Marquis.

Scotty, I disagree. 1) GM is investing a lot of money and resources developing electric cars for the future. 2) In the short term GM is meeting the customer demand for SUVs. They are providing the product customers want. (Just like you stated Toyota does). 3) Oil prices are NOT going up in your or my lifetime. U.S. oil producers have developed advanced techniques to recover oil in ways never imagined before. The US is now the #1 producer of crude oil in the world. We now have hundreds of years of obtainable crude oil reserves in this country. When oil prices approach $60 per barrel, US producers bring more rigs online increasing supply, driving the prices back down. When oil prices drop below $45 per barrel producers take wells offline, decreasing supply, driving prices back up. Oil prices between $40 to $60 per barrel are here to stay.

@@thawk1435 - Scotty can be a bit bombastic in his videos. If people want to buy Suburbans and Tahoes, why shouldn't Gm make them? It's not like Toyota doesn't make and sell the Sequoia.

Scotti the one thing that I would say is great why they do this is because of Uber and Lyft. As a large SUV owner(14 expedition) these are huge in the rideshare world and help drivers make large profits(especially when the car color is black). This inturn means more people purchasing these SUVs. Love the channel though and agree on alot ya say.

Hey Scotty! I just bought a 2003 Infiniti G35 with 130k miles on it and I ran an OBD-2 reader on it before I bought it and everything was green and checked out however after having it for a couple of weeks it started making this like ticking noise from the front left tire. It's extremely faint and when I hit the brakes the sound nearly goes away completely. Unsure what it is, have any idea?

Buy a Toyota, but a Toyota, buy a Toyota... every story is answered with buy a Toyota. I honestly don't know why I still watch him.

I always wanted a Range Rover, specially a 2015 but as I started to watch Scotty's videos! Well, I crave it no more! Now, I want a 2012 Camry.

There is a fuel shut off safety switch on those large sedans . The reset button is in the trunk on the side , sometimes hidden behind a carpet flap .

hello!

In 2021 my brother bought a 2019 GMC Yukon XL Denali with 48,000 miles. He paid for the extended warranty for 75,000 miles of coverage. Thank God he did. This has been one of the worst vehicles he has ever owned. It is always at the dealership for "check engine" lights and running rough. The dealer cannot seem to find what is wrong with it. They turn off the engine light and five miles down the road it comes on. The dealer is just limping it along, until it goes off warranty and then is my brother's problem. They want to trade it in, but the dealer has no new vehicles. My Mom's cousin also bought a newer suburban and is full of electrical gremlins and no start issues(they ended up buying a older model suburban and parking this one, because they don't want anyone to get stuck with their lemon). My Mom's best friend has a newer Tahoe and it has "no crank" issues at times and the dealer cannot find what's wrong with it. I would stay away from newer GM Suv's at this time. This is like GM with their vehicles from 2007 and newer when they were cheaply building vehicles right before the great recession in 2008. When we bought our 2009 chevy 6.0 3/4 ton pickup the transfer case failed at only 7500 miles. :(

TO THE GUY THAT ASKED ABOUT THE PASSAT: If you get the 2015 TDI model it will come with a 11 year (until 2026) and/or 162,000 mile limited warranty that will cover anything that shows up on the OBD2 scanner. My wife has a 2015 TDI Jetta and it is covered by the warranty because of the "dieselgate" thing, the car has been perfect and hasn't had any problems but it only has 17K miles on it. I also have a co-worker that got a 2015 Passat TDI and she has a 2 hour round trip commute for work and she absolutely loves it and hasn't had any problems after about 75K miles. My wife had a 2006 Jetta TDI and we traded it in with 180K miles and it never had any problems other than front wheel bearings at about 170K miles cause she doesn't slow down for speed bumps. Hope that helps! Cheers!

SuperPhdiva SRB cities or areas with poor public transportation make more sense to own a car. If we look at it from a public health perspective, a car can provide access to jobs outside of your area especially for those that can’t afford to live where they work. This affect lower income communities the most, lack of jobs or jobs that can increase your economic status, education opportunities or training, etc... Some areas of the US were redesigned for cars and now are extremely difficult to travel without a vehicle (a huge mistake on our part and cities are trying to correct it). I highly recommend watching Patriot Act episode on public transportation.

Scotty, they should check the fuel pump shut off button in the trunk.This worked for a man that had a Lincoln Towncar that had been hit.

On those Grand Marquis and Vics and Town Cars have an emergency fuel pump shutoff sensor/switch in the trunk. Really easy to reset.

My 1987 Delta 88 (bought used) went 225,000 miles. It was a replacement for the 1969 Econoline van with 340,000 miles that had too many trips to the transmission shop and had too many rear axle bearings replacements. It also had no air, something that is needed in the south. The wife's 1988 Fleetwood was towed last year. Shop guys didn't know how to get it running. She bought it used when the 1978 Corvette wasn't reliable transportation. In 2003 I bought a new LeSabre that now has over 100,000 miles. Good car. Gave it to my daughter and bought a used 2012 Equinox that has needed only new tires, and do my own brakes. I also replaced the two VVT solenoids myself after a CEL code. The Equinox is good because it 1) is easier to get in and out, and 2) it provides a better view of the road ahead. Most drivers are looking only at the next vehicle in front of them.

Finish watching Scotty say why not to buy from Carvana.... Then immediately get a Carvana commercial on KZread

But the manufacturers aren't manufacturing cars that they will be selling 10 years from now. They only making cars that they'll be selling right now. Next year they can change what they make. Makes perfect sense to do this.

Oil is plentiful, but it becomes harder and more expensive to get. If battery density doubles and the price halves which is likely by 2030 the ICE will be history with the exception of turbofans in long range aircraft.

It's funny you mention Krispy Kreme. We've had one here in Pensacola for years and it's always busy. They just built another one not too long ago and business is booming. I guess with them being few and far between they're more sought after.
