I've had two Tahoe's and currently on a Yukon Denali. This will probably be my last of that platform. Seems like each one has progressively gotten worse in quality.  My parents just bought a '19 Tahoe so hopefully that one breaks the trend.

GM doesn't like to put enough transmission behind those engines and then tried to use torque management to make up for it but that just kills the driving experience and creates more heat in the transmission which makes them wear faster. Those LS engines are fantastic but displacement on demand sucks and it's a valve lifter killer. Fortunately, both torque management and DOD can be tuned out through a custom tune (my Denali has DOD tuned out and torque management reduced by 50%).

Agreed.  I, nor my wife will be buying another full size GM product.  Their drivetrains are maddening, to say the least.  I'm sure some of it is cost savings, but the EPA guidelines that these guys are being forced to adhere to are killing the drivetrains.

It's why I'm looking for an F150 now.  V6, but twin turbo.  Good milage, and plenty of power....plus for the first time in my career I need a pickup truck.

Such is life these days.  They don’t make like they used to.

10 year warranty. Kia is criminally under-rated.

I thought that Telluride might become pretty popular... until I saw one in person and realized just how butt fuging ugly it is. It looks like a broke dick Range Rover Discovery rip-off, another vehicle that is also butt fuging ugly.

The old ones were tanks.  Everything after 06 or so seemed like crap to me.

 

Loved my 2000 Explorer Sport - thing was slow as all get out but loaded to the gills with options and very comfortable to drive. Pretty sure it was in a flood before I bought it but even then it ran flawlessly for me for 8 years until I swapped for a sedan.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
