PRE-owned: 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon - TruckTrend Magazine
" While the Suburban literally and figuratively fills a big spot in the SUV marketplace, not everyone wants or needs a rig that large. So GM whacked nearly two feet out of the Sub's overall length, took away the third-row seat, and created the Tahoe/Yukon twins for '95. Available in 1500 Series (1/2-ton) form only, they proved an ideal package for buyers who needed or wanted V-8... The originals were replaced by all-new versions after the '99 model year, and though the current platform offers some advances, the earlier ones are plentiful in the marketplace and remain popular. 7L V-8/four-speed automatic combination is ultra-tough and good for long miles, though we recommend a '96-or-later model. They have the port fuel-injected Vortec spec engine, rated at 250 hp, as opposed to the throttle-body-equipped 200-hp '95. a 2WD version also bowed in '96. Those who tow a trailer might consider a rear-disc-brake upgrade, as the standard,... Those needing room for six or more still must look elsewhere. Otherwise, these trucks are well-equipped and long lived. Consider the first-generation GMC Yukon Denali, sold from '98 to 2000. It has lots of leather, real wood trim, a plethora of power goodies, upgraded tunes, and unique sheetmetal from the A-pillar forward. Cadillac liked it so well it ripped off the package to create the first Escalade in '99. Whatever the badge, they're much the same underneath. Look for rust or wavy body panels that might signify previous accident damage. Source: www.trucktrend.com
