Used Vehicle Review:
GM full-size SUVs, 2000-2005

2002 GMC YukonGeneral Motors knows a thing or two about building big trucks, says Chris Chase. "Reliability is a little below average," he says, and "crash safety is only about average." Among the models available - Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade -  "The best deals are to be found among lower-end versions of the Tahoe and Yukon," he says.        More...

WIth those resale prices and the models virtually unchanged for 5 years, the 50 cent wannabe's will be happy to pick one up used and throw some chrome rims on it  ROFL

I swear, I'm seeing so many older Yukons and Escalade's now a days driven by 17 year old males with chrome rims. Just me?

I'm surprised it took so long for the US coastal urban trend to make its way up here.

Gas doesn't seem to be coming down anytime soon, if ever. I've driven these trucks, and I don't know how people can do it. They're expensive, and even if I could afford it, I don't know why I would want to. Must admit, they make great couches on wheels, but I found the 3rd row shockingly small for such a large vehicle. A Sienna AWD would make a much better option for both people and cargo, but just doesn't look aggressive or masculine enough I guess.
