    Z-71 suspension?

    After owning our '08 Z71 for a few months (trading an '04 2X4 Avalanche) I am still very impressed with the ride quality. When we traded for the Tahoe, we wanted to go with a 4X4, but I have always dis-liked the typical harsh or bouncy ride. I really liked the looks of the Z71 package, but I...

    Changing Oil: Warning

    I think she'll drive them nutz! When she finds that "special" guy, he will have no question that this aint Wal-Mart.... Once you bought it, we don't do returns! :smilielol: Honestly, she's a good egg most of the time! I just won't let her drive the Tahoe or 300 just yet..... Maybe...

    how willing are you to trade your hoe if this new one is so good??

    It would take the addition of heated AND cooled seats, a more efficient 6.0L mated to a solid (i.e re-programmed) 6sp and fold flat mid and rear seats. Also, (maybe most importantly) not taking a HUGE bath on the trade-in! For those options alone, I would guess it would run an additional...

    What do you think the next Tahoe will be like?

    That is the only way we will ever see fold-flat seats. We looked hard at the Expedition EL (w/IRS) just becuase of that feature. I honestly would have bought the Ford if the interior wasn't designed by Fisher-Price :ack: IRS with fold-flat mid and rear seats, some lighter materials and a...

    Changing Oil: Warning

    As far as the re-formulation of M1, it did infact change ratings from SL to SM. It has a different additive package now than a few years ago. Not to get into a huge debate over oils and the variances in the two ratings, the bottom line is the move to SM is in favor of emissions at the...

    Why did you buy a truck and where are you located?

    This was a tough one for us. We traded a 2004 Avalanche which was in showroom condition, but we wanted more seating. Down side was the loss of the functionality of the Avalanche (I still think the Avy is the best value on the market). So out with the Avy with seating for 5 and in with the...

    About to buy a 2007 Z71 2WD, what's my MPG?

    Sorry to dig up an older thread, but we have had our Tahoe for about two months and have around 1600 miles on the clock. I have (I think) the exact same vehicle; 4x4 Z71 (2008 model) but with the 3.73 rear end and we are lucky to get 14 MPG. I didn't buy it for mileage (DUH!) but wondering...

    Noob thread, nice to find 'ya!

    Evening all! Recently purchased our Tahoe, Blue Granite 4x4 LT2 with Z71 package. We traded a 2004 Avalanche- kinda sad to see the Avalanche go with the functionality but the new interior, 4x4 option, integraded nerf style running boards and the additional seating (total seating for 8) were...
