GM’s current seats are a tragedy considering how right they were on the GMT400 and 800 generations.

Old one all day wayl less problems. The first Gen. Tahoe from 95 to 99 is 1 of the best SUV's ever made. I love my 99.

Chevy needs to bring back the 2-door tahoe!

I’d buy the old one in a heartbeat. The new one will be in the shop more times within 1 year of the initial purchase then the older one will be in the shop in over a decade.

Funny how big the GMT400 looked yet now it looks a bit small next to the 2024

Those old ones road so smooth man 😉

Stiffer seats as a safety feature. The seatbelts are better able to maintain passenger position when harnessing that passenger against a stiff surface as opposed to floppy and soft.

I'm taking the oldie everday.

I like the French doors on the older Tahoes though

🇺🇸🍻🇺🇸 Sometimes old is gold!....

I'd take that '98 any day of the week. Less computer bullshit, less issues that can happen. These days if your headlight burns out it'll tell the computer you can't go in reverse 😂

Sitting in the parking lot watching this in my 98 c1500. ❤

The 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe looks like an absolute giant compared to the 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe

A home mechanic can fix the old one with wrenches and a timing light. Good luck fixing that new one

Love the old one!

Old is gold.

That new Tahoe is beautiful…said no one ever

They should start making cars like this again...

This is a cool ass shot idk if that’s a camera filter or just how the red looked in the natural light but it’s awesome

The seats are stiffer so they stay plush for longer compared to soft seats which go hard as the material inside is packed down onto the base of the seat.

You love that old Tahoe 😂 can’t blame ya my 400 is hands down the best truck I’ve owned

After 2018 is when the seats got hard as a rock

Glad someone pointed out that the price of cars went up but the comfort went down 😢

Nothing will beat the old Tahoe. Especially the old price tags for them

The 1990s models will always be the best

Old for sure bring um all back!

You forgot to mention how the old one is like an armored truck compared to the new tin can. I personally prefer 3rd gen tahoe, it was solid, comfy and relatively reliable without the useless tech overload.

I would take the older one, the interior is better on the older one and no transmission issues

Other than the sponge brakes give me the old

i love the simplicity of the 98

Just bought a 97 Silverado its better to buy then newer ones

The older Chevy gmcs were solid vehicles

I had a 1997 Suburban and that thing was extremely comfortable. They don’t make seats like they used to anymore. These companies just farm out to the lowest bidder for everything.

I remember guessing how these Chevys would look since the movie The 6th day. That was around the 2000 and they show a Chevy Tahoe/Silverado from the future

The only credit I'll give the new one is that it surely fares better in crash tests. And I'm sure some engine design aspects would be favorable to transfer to the old one, but 255 hp is more than enough to get you where you need to be and I'd definitely prefer reliability over maxing out things and increasing susceptibility to something breaking.

It’s annoying as hell that you can’t buy a car nowadays without an insane number of electronics and expensive unnecessary equipment. Cars have gone beyond ridiculous in price even compared to when I bought my first one in 2010. What I paid for my first car in then, the equivalent now is nearly double nowadays. In 2015 I bought a Hyundai Santa Fe for $29k, now a roughly similar trimmed model is $43. Make it make sense, wages haven’t gone up nearly enough to cover the cost increases.

A small batch of those older models were imported to Australia, converted to right hand drive and sold through Holden dealerships as a trial back in the day, but they didn't sell well enough to continue their program unfortunately. There is one here in my town as clean as this one in the video, same colour even and I admire it whenever I see it. Funny how now bigger American SUVs and pick-up trucks are now being imported and converted to RHD again locally here in Australia, the most common ones are the Rams, but I have no idea why it became successful here now? 🤷‍♂️ But they're way to big for our sized carparks unfortunately.

Nothing beats the old Tahoe. Back when Chevy gave a shit about making quality long lasting vehicles.

Like the tech but them gen 3s are hard to kill

I'd take the old one all day

I'll take the older one please, send the new one back ASAP.
