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.

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.

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.

Comparing older “affordable” used vehicles seems to be where TFL really shines, and creates the least amount of disconnect between them and their more average\lower “middle class” income viewer base. I hope they start spending more time on this and less time buying really expensive vehicles for long term reviews which don’t mean much to most viewers that can’t afford them; they would certainly lose less money when reselling these old vehicles then the depreciation hit they take selling a brand new vehicle in less then a year, which they can invest into more crew and gear for these shoots and thus be able to make more of them without stressing out the team.

Expecting your 80 to get 9mpg makes me feel much better about my 1994 80 with 3" lift on 35s and stock gears getting 14.5 on my last trip.

Actually Roman, I was born in 1987 and us millennials as you call us do know about such things as a power antenna. The first car I remember riding in was my mom's 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 back in the early 90s
I would like to see future challenges like this, but each vehicle having the same tires, because in all three competitions, tires matter. It would be nice to see how the vehicles perform against each other with common tires.

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.

All around 300k miles with no major services and only regular maintenance might I add. But they all did start out with the cream of the crop drivetrains

Wow, I forgot our over-stuffed the Tahoe seats were back in the days. It's almost comical ")

We had a 22 4Runner TRD Offroad for a short time, took a 6,500 mile road trip and it only got 16.2mpg for the whole trip. Sold it after the trip. Gutless and lowsy milage.

When Nathan has the Decepticon Logo, a hockey sticker and a Punisher sticker on the back of Expedition, there's clearly been a couple of owners between him and the Fire Chief, lol.

Yes, if it is that slow then the filter needs changing. Happens where I work all the time, though usually for the diesel. Edit: Oh yeah, and I wrote this while in a drive-thru in a 97 2 door Tahoe with 273,985 original miles on the original engine. Still runs as quiet as new.

In Oklahoma, I avoid Sinclair because of their slow pumps and dirty filters. Great to know that they're consistent across the country!

Ford towing Ford... 😂 🆒 Video guys! I would like to say the Toyota is more reliable but that's actually when Chevy built 🪨 solid vehicles, I'd say this is almost a toss-up 🤔

No 12v lighter in the fire chief’s truck, but multiple water filled filtration devices; must of been very found of clean air when responding to the 30th incident of some puts starting a “small campfire” using a pallet about 5’ from their neighbor’s house.

In Nathan and Andre’s defense, birthday card envelopes still need to be moistened so I wouldn’t know the legal envelopes use an adhesive with backing (though I use a sponge, and would spit on a napkin before licking wherever that envelope has been.).
