Let's go Chevy. Big fan of GMT400 platform. Best mpg I ever got out of my 97 suburban is 18.3mpg cruising at 74mph. Have gotten 18mpg before, but 18.3 was the best and most recent ever got. On the highway, I will typically see 16-17.6 mpg depending on the speed. 18.8 mpg even on a tahoe is mind-blowing for a stock suv, but sure you all cruise at a lower speed than I typically do.

My single mom bought a new 2002 Tahoe v8 Which was passed down to me last year 20+ years later. It has never been in the shop except for routine maintenance oil, brakes , spark plugs battery. That's it. It needs new rear shocks and I think it needs a ball joint on the driver's side. Still running strong. 188k on the dash, and I'd have no fear to drive it to Colorado and back. In town mpg is crap at 10-12 mpg. But out in the country. I live in a very hilly area of East Texas. I can manage 16-17mpg.

Can confirm, albeit with very different vehicles of the same era. 2002 Avalanche Z71, my grandpa bought it new. He got about 17-18 with it, I couldn’t keep 16 because I like v8 noises. Still runs great, minimal maintenance. I just acquired an 01 gmc sierra 1500hd, 4x4 6.0L, and I believe I get about 13-15 mpg on 285/75/17s.

Probably the peak of SUV. That Tahoe was not cheap back in the day. Andre said $37K sticker price which today amounts to $71,000. During the high gas prices of the mid/late 2000s these things were about being given away. I'm assuming many were destroyed with cash for clunkers program.

I inherited my uncle's 04 Expedition Eddie Bauer that he bought brand new. I drove it to 338K while still using it for Lyft and would regularly get complements on it. It ran like new, had ice cold AC, and all the bells and whistles worked like new. Over those 338K; it only needed an ignition coil. It's still the favorite vehicle I've ever had and regret trading it in. CarMax was amazed when they seen how many miles it had on it and how good of shape it was in. It handled very well thanks to the long travel IRS and was also quite capable off road with some AT tires. The first and second gen Expeditions with the 2V Modular engines are some of the best vehicles on the road.

Unless the road is always flat cruise control gets worst mpg cause it’s can’t see the hill your about to climb so once it sees the mph drop it’s to late and it floors it instead of a person seeing it and giving it a little more gas before the hill and keeping a lower throttle percentage through out the hill

This was fun, guys. Thanks for doing it. Until last year I had a 2002 5.4L F150 King Ranch. It performed similarly to the Expedition Nathan drove - 15-16 mpg. I sold mine last year after 22 years of reliable service. for $10,000. It's still running strong - saw it on the highway the other day.

LOVE these classic SUV comparisons. These are what's still affordable for the majority of Americans, and speaking as somebody who is looking to upgrade to a bigger, solid axle vehicle soon, it is super valuable

Man that Tahoe is mont mint. You dont see thwse that clean anymore. 118k mi on that 350 means it just got broken in. The TBI 350s that came before them are even more simple and reliable but these Vortecs are pretty damn stout on the reliability front.

As much as I like the Land Cruiser and am more of a Ford guy emotionally, I have to say that in this class of cars the Chevrolet is the best all arounder. As for the powertrains, I think it’s a bit of a wash, because all three guys presented their engines in a positive way, and rightfully so. Perhaps, the Chevrolet wins by a small margin because it has the largest displacement and is the least stressed one at producing its power.

19:30 my 8.1 gets the same fuel as my 6.0 Chevy got. Also- changing tire sizes on my 08 tundra was detrimental to fuel economy but I went from stock on my 8.1 Yukon to 255/85r16 and increased by 12% fuel economy (accounting for odometer difference).

That’s actually pretty good for the Landcruiser. I’ve got a 92’ LC and it used to get 12mpg regularly with the 4.0L I-6 running 33” tires. I swapped a 6.0LS and 4L80 into it around 5 years ago, 3” OME Lift and 35” tires, gets around 16mpg now. My 15’ Tundra 4wd usually only averages around 14mpg.

Living on the east coast with the rolling country roads and no traffic I find i can top cruise control by about 2mpg using my foot so the speed increases going down hill and decreases going uphill instead of constantly downshifting. I have a '97 suburban family hauler 2" lift 265/75-16 3:73 that averages mid 19's, a '97 expedition 5.4 tow rig with 2" lift 265/75-16 3:74 that averages mid 17's when not towing and a 2000 expedition xlt 5.4 performance improved engine with 2" air bag lift 265/75-16 3:55 that averages high 17's when not towing. The 97' Eddie Bauer has the extreme tow/4x4 option and can out tow the burban while being exceptional to park even with a trailer due to length and turning radius.

Hey, just a little heads up on that gas cap on the Land Cruiser. I don’t think it should be pressurized like that. I had a 97 Silverado that did that and it caused a lot of problems mechanically. Look into it, but might want to clean the vent, leave the cap a bit loose, or get a new cap.

I've had several 80 series landcruisers in my life. It's almost unfathomable to think that they could have squeezed 16.3MPG out of that. I've never seen mileage like that ever, over the course of owning 4 of them previously. Mind you I do live in a bit more of a hilly area, but even straight highway I had a hard time cracking 12mpg on my completely stock 80 series. My lifted 97LX with 35s (same vehicle just lifted) I couldn't break 11mpg on the highway no matter what I did. My mileages were all hand calculated, using the 30 second rule too. Sheesh!!! I live at sea level though - It must be the altitude!
