At $81,000 it should have an integrated trailer brake controller. Otherwise pretty impressive for a SUV

So glad to see Mr. Truck back! The super Ike is legendary at this point

If it wasn't 81k I would get one in a heartbeat. V8s will be around for awhile and may never go away with the alternative fuel development. They have predicted the demise before, and once things were adapted, it was better than ever.

Even better that the Tahoe is how Mr. Truck looks. Looks like he lost a lot of weight, and he looks more young and full of energy. Good for you Mr. Truck! Whatever you are doing, keep it up.

I'm so glad you are doing more of the towing test. Fun videos and it's neat to see how these vehicles do when maxed out. Thanks guys

You can tell Mr truck wanted to give less stars for not having a brake controller, that long pause was priceless 🤣 and I agree, a SUV that cost over $81k that has a hitch but no brake controller WTH GM? But anyway another great video and keep up the good work guys!

Dang Mr. Truck looks like he's been in the gym! Looking good! And love the comradery between the Big Truck Boys!

TFL really needs to test the updated 3.0L duramax.

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE.......HAVE A GOOD DAY......THANKS GUYS FOR ANOTHER GREAT SATURDAY SHOW 👏👏👏....

As always the Ike's are my favorite videos especially with Mr Truck back in them. Well done guys. By the way, during my last visit to the US, I had a 5.3 Tahoe as my run around. What a brilliant vehicle. In South Africa I drive a Ford Everest which is basically one of the biggest SUV's available. You are lucky to have access to such vehicles.

About time! Now you have to do these test with the other two avaiable engines

It’s been a long time since last time I watched Ike Gauntlet test with Mr Truck

Really like the Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Thanks for this video!

Love Ike Saturdays!

Don't the magnetic ride suspension prevent or help prevent the nose from diving?

The Saturday Super Ike series is awesome, and I'm sure I am nor alone when I say that I appreciate your efforts to do a Super Ike every single Saturday. The Tahoe was pretty impressive, especially on the uphill run. Still, at this price range, a brake controller should be integrated from the factory.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLICITLY STATING THE TOWED WEIGHT I greatly appreciate it

Mr. Truck and Andrew are an excellent review team!

On gm hold the tow/haul mode button for 3 seconds and grade braking should be on.

Hit the brakes HARDER Andrei ! The truck is waiting for a strong brake event before activating Grade Braking. It will tell you in the dash when it turns ON.... :)

Love this duo!

Haven’t heard the background noise before on the downhill…til now. Different mic? Placement? Did you do a sound check on the way down?

Mr Truck and an Ike Gauntlet, It’s a good morning! 👍

Didn’t know Mr T has a twin…lol..Easter greeting to the whole crazy squad..txs for all ur videos xx

Nothing like some humor and antics from Andre and Mr. Truck! 🤣🤣

Another great video featuring Mr. Truck! So glad you guys are featuring him again!

What youre Getting in a Police Tahoe with the RST interior and a 6.2 with intake and exhaust. You get the 9C1 police Body (no roof rack) and the Police Spec Frame, suspension, Brakes, and tires. Its got a suspension tuned specifically for heavy duty use, and handling. its a great buy, but its not designed to be a trailer hauler. its designed to haul ass.

You and Mr Truck are a comedy team 🤣 😂 😅.

How does the Ford Excursion / Lincoln Navigator compare?

I wonder if it's just a case of the brake controller being deleted as so many options seem to since the pandemic. I think they are offering the options as the parts become available in most cases

I would like to see them tow with the Expedition to compare it seems like they never tested a Expedition at all

Great video! Still not liking the stars rating. 3 and a quarter plus a quarter is 3 and 1/2. I like the point system better. As for the vehicle, I was surprised to see that payload capacity on such a performance based suv. Pretty nice.

Does that cold air intake increase average mpg, and if so, by roughly how much, do you know?

Question on the Towing sticker. Why does GM state that the maximum tongue weight is 760lbs (10% of 7600) when most conventional trailering info states tongue weight should be AT LEAST 10%? Does GM have a provision for weight distributing to allow for a little higher than 10%?

Mr. Truck has been sharpening his comedy tools.

I wish they would talk more about how hot the transmission gets on these up hill runs. Especially when they’re constantly shifting up and down like this one seems to be doing.

Mr Truck with donut jokes🤣

My new suburban high county has the air suspension and a brake controller paired with the 3.0 Duramax is it safe to say mine would be a perfect 5 state lol

I really like the look of this truck.

The cold air intake and performance exhaust should be standard on all 6.2L .... I've got a 22' 6.2L Refreshed Trail Boss it tows my trailers very well. My 2018 Silverado LTZ 6.2l had the Brembo brakes $400 for the front pads is a ridiculous price.

I think Mr. Truck might be nipping before the trips 🤷‍♂️

In tow haul mode. GM vehicles will downshift with a extremely light touch of the brake pedal. Then usually stay more aggressive on engine braking until you hit the gas pedal . Do not ask me why GM set it up that way lol.

Who's the stranger in the passenger seat? Andre, it sounds like Mr Truck But Mr Truck has a great Mustache 🧔

Has Andre done an Ike/Super Ike with the GM 3.0L Duramax?

Still patiently waiting for an Ike Gauntlet with the new 2023 Silverado 1500 2.7L H.O. Turbo.

It's been a while since I've watched the tow videos and I'm surprised that you've simplified your rating system so much - I frankly think it's been dumbed down to such a degree that's it's not very useful anymore.

I’m guessing you guys are probably going to try towing with the 2023 Ram 3500 Dually?

How does this compare to the dodge durango rt with tow n go?

A guy at work bought a 2018 6.2 RST Tahoe used with 10k miles in early 2020 for 52K. Alot more attractive at that price.

My 2023 Chevy Tahoe z71 is currently in the shops dealership fuel injectors are out and there's a back order on it so now I have to wait 😑

I can see Gm putting the caddy escalade V engine in a Tahoe at some point. MAYBE?

Chevy! Thunder!

That 6.2 liter V-8 ecotec engine is impressive

More Mr. Truck!

Would love to see the Wagoneer with the new hurricane engine do a IKE.

Building and ordering one of these possibly, BUT with the performance pkg you CANT have the max towing pkg nor can you have the cooling system and trailer brake controller and it removes the roof rails and no sunroof option. Consider this the SRT of the Tahoe.

my 2021 Ford Expedition tows 9,300. The new Jeep Grand Wagoneer will tow 10K. Even a Durango can tow 8,'700 when properly equipped. The GM SUVs may be good at carrying passengers but definitely not for towing

The GM cameras go off based on speed. They will stay on from a stop until you go over like 10mph

So Chevy is excited about minimal gains that we could easily get out of a exhaust and cold air on our own that I’d bet they are selling for 10-20k on the lot

Gotta give love to Mr Truck

No shave november must be over for Mr Truck😂😂😂

Hey fast lane truck, would there be anyway to race this performance édition rst against a 392 durango?

Oh, I was hoping it was a diesel variant. My better half wants to trade in her Ecodiesel for a 4x4 SUV diesel. I am surprised it doesn't have a hill sensor and no brake controller.

future videos have a camera always on the rpm's 👍

Andre and Mr Truck. Nuff said

We need more Mr TRUCK

$ 81 K ? then I dare not think what one has to pay in the Netherlands with those excessive car taxes

I want to see the big 3 1/2 ton XLT, ram and Silverado all with v-8 at max. Not the high end 100k trucks but a normal everyday truck that the average family man would buy. Maxed ou

Didn't the Ranger tow the same trailer. It hit 60 in 15 seconds vs 14 for the big 6.2 Tahoe. I know the Ranger has forced induction but the truck isn't light and only has 2.3L.

It would be awesome to see the Cadillac escalade V

One thing you guys didn't comment on was the mirrors. The mirrors on the new generation Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon are really small, and pretty much a deal breaker for me considering buying one. Downhill: 0.75 star Uphill: 1 full star Towing Features: 0.5 star Comfort / Handling: 0.75 star Efficiency: 0.75 star TOTAL: 3.75 stars

Mr truck looks 40 years younger 😂 he looks like a teenager again

Is that Jeep ever going to see real off road or just a trailer queen

As ford guy I’m impressed it’s looks great . Definelty beats the timberline and st explorer 😢😮

I do wish they would make the Tahoe in a 2500 kind of like the excursion… be grateful for large families that want to take a trailer out

I think that when you compare it against the 2018 Expedition, this doesn't hold a candle and that's with a less powerful motor.

No fog lights??

They need to do this and maybe a slight bit more to the Silverado and call it the SS, it would be a hit if you could get an affordable one and a loaded one within the trim 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would rather see a test like this on a hot summer day.

Wow. I-70 looks to be in rough shape these days!

Has anyone heard of a Tahoe ZR2 diesel being developed?

It looks like you are securing the jeep by the d-ring frame mounts instead of the Axle. This is pretty dangerous and could overload the straps as the jeep suspension will transfer the energy into them.

I just find it extremely hard to believe that the "average" person can afford an $81,000 vehicle.

Nice vehicle. You guys certainly put the test in testing vehicles. The v8 sounded sweet.

LOVE Mr. Truck !! TFL needs him in more videos !!!!

It’s a nice vehicle. Definitely the most luxurious it’s been since the beginnings of the Suburban!! 😂😂. I think Chevy dropped the ball not sending one with the brake controller. They KNOW TFL will do the Ike with it. I do support the fact that the brake controller is an option available. Not every owner will tow with the vehicle. In fact fewer will tow with this than will tow with a pickup. Not every pickup has one either. Why produce 100,000 brake controllers (for example) when there’s only a need for 20,000. The amount of overproduction out there in the automotive industry is incredibly wasteful and expensive. If everything was mandatory for $81,000,,,,, the number wouldn’t stay at $81,000,,,,,,, haha. Fortunately you can get a brake controller in ANY Tahoe so if you want to tow, then get one with a brake controller, or special order one. The press fleet manager for Chevy is a dumb-*ss for releasing that specific Tahoe (because it doesn’t have a brake controller) to TFL.

Looking to get the escalade with the 6.2 in the future. Im guessing the towing performance will be similar to this tahoe

Transmission needs to learn, maybe at 1169 miles it needs more learning per downhill.

Does anyone else think Mr. Truck and Andrea look like father and son?

Mr Truck! Wish the RST was the 3.0L Duramax.

I would love to see an Ike with the new Ford Expedition with the H.O. ecoboost!

Mr Truck!

It better stomp ike. At around 70-75k for a 5.3 and probably up to 80 with a 6.2, it's good thing it's roomy enough to live in. Payments would be close to those of a mortgage. Also, hearing commentary about people wanting V8's because they sound good is absurd. I mean, yeah, they do sound good. But people want them because they put out great power and performance and have better than a snowball's chance of reaching a quarter million miles or more. I'll be surprised if those 2.7's last much more than half as long as the smallblocks on average. There's no getting around thermodynamics. You want torque, you burn fuel. You want the same torque out of half the displacement, you have to burn that fuel either twice as often, or charged to twice the pressure. That means more wear. Period.

Leave it in one gear. killing that transmission

1 St.

How in the world can y'all give it a full star going downhill?? You had to hit the brakes a lot. I wouldn't have given it anything better than half a star. And the camera on the Jeep made it look like it had quite a bit of sway. Perhaps it's better judging from the driver's seat.

Nice run guys! I hope that you get a Wagoneer w/ Hurricane up the Ike soon!

I think the towing rating should’ve been lower to half, 7600 pound rating is too low for that class of vehicle. Mid size trucks tow that much. It really should’ve had the trailer brake controller.

Gotta say. $80k+ and no brake controller? Pretty big fail. Also with that exhaust you really hear it searching gears often. Way more often then I would have thought. I’ll take a standard exhaust over that obnoxiousness if I towed more than once a year. Also it’s a nogo for me requiring premium fuel to add that little extra hp…

Would like to see the Wagoneer with the new Hurricane engine I bet that thing rips
