when in doubt ask your friendly buick service manager----but try and go to a buick dealer who also sells chevy trailblazers or gmc envoys they will be more apt to know because they deal with trucks ken z |

Replying to: jdftwrth98 (Apr 22, 2009 7:44 am) I found this that shows the max tow capacity of the 2006 Envoy as 6600# which would fall into the Class IV range. Probably depends on engine and gear ratio, of course assume it requires the Tow Package: http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/viewArticle.action?site=34042 Class 1 (Class I) hitch Trailer hitch with capacity of up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. Class 2 (Class II) hitch Trailer hitch with weight-carrying rating of up to 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 300/350 lbs tongue weight. Class 3 (Class III) hitch Trailer hitch with weight carrying rating of up to 5,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight. Also sometimes used to refer to a hitch with any 2" receiver, regardless of rating. Class 4 (Class IV) hitch Trailer hitch with weight carrying rating of up to 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,000 - 1,200 lbs tongue weight. Although many times any hitch with a capacity greater than 5,000 lbs gross weight is referred to as a Class 4. |

Replying to: spike99 (Oct 02, 2007 5:58 pm) Just to advise my wife & I bought a 2009 Montana EWB van approx 6 weeks ago. Yes. Fresh off my local GM dealer's lot - along with a huge final discounts (compared to other mini-van companies). This GM van isn't as physically large as our previous 2001 Safari van but it's got much better "take off" and much better "braking power". And, it's much funner to drive - compared to our previous "bulk" size Safari van. And with newer technology engine, our smaller Montana van gets much better MPGs. For "long haul" family vacation trips, we'll tow a little 4 x 6 utility trailer - for our suit cases and stuff (since inside storage volume has been dramatically reduced). For a picture, surf: http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w251/Spike99-Pictures/Montana%20Van/Van-Small- - - -Trailer-Stance-1.jpg Was thinking of replacing our Safari van with an Envoy XL I6 but the gas prices keep going up and up in my area. And, my family no longer tows heavy weight utility trailers. After "the math" several times, our new Montana van will cost much less. And during a 10 year period, its gas savings will almost pay for itself... Just wanted to provide an update... . |

Just started having this intermittent ignition problem. 50,000 mi - when I turn the key in the ignition - it does nothing. I thought it might be related to the transmission limiter that requires the car to be in park ... but that dosn't solve it by putting pressing on the gear shift and trying to start it. Won't crank and does nothing. I try for 2-5 minutes - remove the key - raise and lower the steering wheel as I think it might be a loose ignition switch wire ... but nothing. The WHAM - it will start and act fine for a couple of days then it happens again. Any techs out there that know of this problem?

| Pass lock is sensitive to magnetism in the proximity of the keylock make sure you do not have magnetic toys on your keychain. Try both park and neutral Floep | |

I have a 2003 TB EXT (70k miles) and have a roar in the front drivers side wheel. When I'm driving straight or turning left the "roar" is present. When I turn to the right like going around a curve the "roar" goes away. I just replaced the drivers side hub assembly yesterday and the roar is still there as described above. The brakes are fine and the backing plate is not bent or rubbing against the rotor. Any suggestions wouls be greatly appreciated. The noise is definitely coming from the drivers side front wheel well.
