A\u00a0car mechanic\u00a0has issued a warning to fellow drivers about three off-roaders which may look trendy but will quickly depreciate, as revealed in a YouTube video.<\/p>\n

The message goes out to drivers looking to invest in an off-roader, which frequently comes at a high price and requires premium fuel to run smoothly.<\/p>\n

Scotty Kilmer, a\u00a0mechanic of 55 years, explained which three\u00a0vehicles\u00a0may prove a waste of money on a YouTube channel, dedicated to the education of \u201cnew car stuff\u201d.<\/p>\n

His platform has quickly become one of the most-watched car networks in the US, garnering interest from millions of drivers who need advice on repairs and purchases relating to vehicles.<\/p>\n

Starting with the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer, Kilmer explained the SUV is the latest of several versions of the\u00a0car\u00a0to be released in the past 60 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re marketed as wide roomy off-roaders, but today I\u2019ll tell you the truth about why they\u2019re gas guzzlers,” the expert explained.<\/p>\n

“Despite its good looks, there are key downsides that many people don\u2019t talk about,” explained Kilmer, adding: “Take pricing for example, don\u2019t get me started on how overpriced this full-size SUV is.”<\/p>\n

Petrol use is another factor to consider, as one test showed that the 2023 Wagoneer received a ranking of one out of five for fuel economy.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe was next on Kilmer’s list, which comes with a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdmittedly the Tahoe offers a light and smooth ride, but the thing is, to get that premium driving feeling, the Tahoe needs premium fuel,” he explained. \u201cWithout it, the ride doesn\u2019t feel the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to guzzle a lot of expensive, premium gas. If you\u2019re serious about off-roading I\u2019ll tell you right off the bat, it\u2019s not as good off-roading as some of its competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last is the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, which is exclusively available as a hybrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince it\u2019s a hybrid, you\u2019ll get far better fuel efficiency with the Sequoia than you would with the Jeep Wagoneer or Chevy Tahoe,\u201d admitted Kilmer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sequoia is a solid vehicle but the thing is it feels cheap, that\u2019s why I can\u2019t say the price is justified.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is also less space than in the two aforementioned vehicles because of the car\u2019s hybrid battery pack, which sits below the second-row seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know this isn\u2019t the end of the world but for a vehicle that reaches up $80,000 (\u00a364,500) range, you\u2019d expect much less of a hassle.\u201d<\/p>\n

For drivers hoping to avoid mammoth prices with heir next off-roader, Kilmer explained that they may be better off getting a mini-van than a full-size SUV.<\/p>\n

Not only do these vehicles have higher safety ratings, but this will automatically translate to lower car insurance premiums.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you later need repair, then parts and supplies are typically easier to procure, and cheaper,\u201d added Kilmer.<\/p>\n
