Hi everyone. I am thinking about purchasing a 2005 Equinox LT w/ 24K miles.The list price is $10,995. I will be trading in a 2001 Volvo s60 Turbo w/135K miles on her. A fabulous car, but starting to get a little tired - I commute 100 miles a day mostly on highways, although the speed runs from 67 to 4.....traffic...I have never owned an SUV before, and I am afraid of roll overs. Can you all tell me really if this is a good idea? I have researched, and think that I will need to put 17" tires on it to make it run better - any advice will really really be appreciated - thanks!

Replying to: moz28 (Nov 11, 2008 7:25 pm) Here are some S.U.V.'s that I had in the pass (all chevrolet).... 84 s-10 Blazer, 89 s-10 Blazer, 94 s-10 Blazer, 98 Tracker and now my 05 Equinox LT FWD. Never had problems with or scared with rollovers. It's true that they say S.U.V.'s are more dangerous but if you drive your S.U.V normally, I guess there's no problem. The only S.U.V. rollover that I saw was someone who thought he had a tank and was realy inclined in a hillside and.... I don't need to explain what happened next. You can't compare Blazers with Equinox, but still It's a fun machine to drive. P.S My Equinox came with 235/65/16 Bridgestone tires and still got theme on and they give a good ride.

I have an 06 Chevy Equinox (not AWD). I am headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving and want to know if I can put regular chains on the back tires? Somewhere we thought we heard you could not use regular chains. I asked the dealer and they keep giving me conflicting answers so I thought I would ask someone on here.  Can I use regular chains or do I need to buy cables instead? We don't go the snow often so we want to find the cheapest solution. Thank you!

Replying to: sdbtrflygrl (Nov 19, 2008 3:20 pm) I got my last two sets of chains cheap at the local thrift stores.  Now, if someone can just tell you if you'll have to get cables instead of chains or maybe you can use S chains. I don't suppose the info is in the owner's manual? Btw, I usually put chains on the drive axle - the front in your case. How to Install Tire Chains |

Are you as surprised as I am that GM doesn't even offer heated side mirrors on the Nox? I have contacted a company called Muth Mirrors they build the side mirrors with the LED turn signal arrows in the side mirror glass, they also can add a heated model, if enough people show interest. So lets all email to " sales muthco.com " And show them there is an interest in the mirrors for the Nox. Thank you, and good night

Replying to: meandmymaxx (Jan 22, 2009 6:53 am) My 1999 Venture had heated mirrors and what a charm that was. If I remember they were on the same switch as the rear defogger. Now I own a 2005 Equinox L.T. FWD and no heated mirror. BAHHH! We need heated mirrors up here and what surprises me the most is that the Nox is built in Canada and no one thought of at least putting "heated mirrors" even as an option. So weird. |
