I have a 2019, I bought in March without the DVD option. LOVE THE CAR/TRUCK. It is my preferred vehicle to take down the block or across the Country. I agree with everything that has been mentioned above, I want to add I HATE THE IPHONE INTEGRATION WITH THE HEADUNIT. I haven’t decided yet, but will likely try to find another solution. I have always like the Alpine but that display is very integrated. So besides mpg and head unit (sound system is great = speakers) I will own this vehicle FOREVER unless I trade it on another LC but I won’t go down to a Prada sized LC. BUY IT - you will love it. I’ve owned four Suburbans more Grand Cherokees and a few German SUVs and this is by far the best!

I recently bought a 2019 LC. Traded in a 2015 Tahoe with 100k miles. I've driven the LC only about 1k.
1. Seats very easy to remove.
2. Would like to have a larger tank. I'm getting over 18mph - I have almost no stop/go traffic. But still not the range the Tahoe had.
3. Seats are vey comfy, but so were the Tahoe's. Right now, I'd say the Tahoe's were a bit more comfy but I'm guessing that's just b/c I was so used to sitting in them. I've had two days with 4 hours in the LC and no issues. Just objectively feel the Tahoe was more like a recliner seat.
6. It's over 90 here and the ac has worked fine. The cooled seats are way better than my Mercedes C-class. Didn't have cooled seats on the Tahoe. I do like the cooled seats.
You didn't ask, but the ride is more comfortable (you don't feel the bumps hardly at all). The Tahoe was good, but just not as good. I don't know if I've ever been in anything that absorbs the bumps as good. However the steering is heavy. You don't baby LC. You have to use more effort to simply turn the steering wheel.
In the end, I don't know if I'd say the LC is worth $20k more than the Tahoe. But I can say I'm happy with my decision. Just don't think I can objectively justify it from a monetary standpoint. However, I 100% expect the LC to hold it's value well. If so, I may have also made the best financial decision.
Hope this helps.

Great feedback..
One point though. At 100k miles on the cruiser the $20k difference will be very obvious.

Here’s my biased opinion, someone asked I think—-well whatever....BUY THE CRUISER, buy the cruiser and figure out what u need to do to make it personal. You cannot buy a better truck/suv. Any issues with these rigs have been addressed by the knowing here on MUD and personal mods are shared like “new shiny toys on Christmas morning.” There is a reason for the price tag and prestige of these. I’d surmise most in this section of the forum would never drive anything else
