Hi everyone, I just bought a used Tahoe and just seeing her stance was enough to make me want to buy her. It is a retired RCMP Tahoe that apparently was driven by a supervisor, not many cons if any sat in the back seat. It has 175k and I paid $8700 for her. Now that I have bought this beauty there are a few things I have noticed. I really am not sure how to find my way around this site for suggestions on things like:
1. Tire replacement-I am in Canada and the other day it had snowed and I turned a corner and gave her a bit of gas and ended up doing a 180, need to get used to the power she has compared to my old dodge caravan
Suggestions on brand, all weather/season vs summer/winter set, for ride and mileage, etc. The ride is fairly stiff, not sure if that is expected or could improve with better tires.
2. No center console is a real problem for me, I do need at least one arm rest
Where to look for something to fill that spot and give the rear passengers some heating/AC control?
3. The rear windows can't be opened by those sitting back there and they are not even criminals. If my kids were still small that wouldn't be an issue, but I don't need to operate the windows for them anymore now that they are grown ups.
4. Suggestions for driving lights? I drive on the highway at night alot and I really would like to look further down the road, lots of wildlife in these parts.
Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated, as I drive her more I will likely have more questions. I have noticed in the short time already when peeps see me they seem to slow down, it still has that unmarked police car look :smokin:
Thanks
