Obviously, you are looking at a totally different vehicle. If size and MPG are causing apprehension, you should look into a smaller SUV. I have the GMC 07 Yukon SLT-2 which is the same vehicle as the Tahoe LT3 with a few more options. I love the ride, room and towing capacity.
 
I have approximately 3800 miles of mixed driving (including towing boats,snowmobiles and utility trailer) and I am averaging 16.1 MPG year to date. I have validated accuracy of MPG by using a calculator at fill ups.
 
As we all know, Honda has a outstanding reputation for reliability etc. I was a toyota SUV and truck owner for the last 14 years, so it was hard for me to leep from the security of reliability and minimal depreciation of toyota to GM, but I am totally pleased to date with my Yukon. I am also very pleased with fit and finish. Zero issues to date
 
I am willing to be a ginnea pig for this first year model makeover for reliability and depreciation and I do not think I will be dissappointed. Good luck in your search.

I have the same problem with the clock. I noticed that the clock would disappear sometimes when I had an MP3 CD in the player.
 
Apparently, the player is using more memory evaluating the 100+ songs on the CD, so the clock doesn't load when you startup.
 
I have no idea why it can't load the clock, but once I remove the CD, get out of the vehicle and let the player re-set. Once I startup the next time, the clock re-appears and stays on as long as I keep the MP3 CD out of the player.
 
It doesn't disappear all the time. But I have learned to expect it when playing an MP3 CD.
 
Let me know if this solves the problem for you too. GM will hopefully get a software fix for it later if it happens to alot of people.

Full time 4 wheel drive is only on Denali and Escalade with a 6.2L motor

Oops, sorry 'bout that. I was looking at the Suburban specs and not the Tahoe. You are correct about the engine and drive train. However, full time all-wheel drive is standard on the Suburban LTZ, likewise the 6000 engine.

I still stand by my statements. Please point me to where you see the LTZ suburban coming with a 6.O and full time 4-wheel drive? I anxiously waiting.

There is no Suburban LTZ (Zee not LT2) that comes with the 6.0 and AWD standard.
 
The 3/4 ton version has the 6.0, and has trim models of LT1,2 and 3. The 3/4 ton version also uses leaf springs (LT1,2 and 3).
 
However, the 4WD is optional across the entire Suburban line.
 
These specs are available at www.Chevrolet.com.

There is nowhere on the chevy site that the LTZ is full time and a 6.0. You "can" special order the 6.0 on the 1/2 ton now for an LT3/LTZ
 
" ENGINE, VORTEC 6.0L V8 SFI with Active Fuel Management (366 hp [272.9 kW] 5500 rpm, 380 lb-ft of torque [513.0 N-m] 4300 rpm, aluminum block (Requires (M70) 4-speed automatic transmission, (GT5) 4.10 rear axle ratio and (Z55) Autoride Suspension Package.)(Requires 3LT Preferred Equipment Group) Code: L76"
 
This is not on the Chevy site yet, and there was no cost associated with it yet.
 
Another tidbit I just saw
as another note on the LTZ you can do the assist steps too

What chevy needs to do is put the 6.0 mated to the 6spd transmission, on the LTZ Subby. I ended up buying the '07 Escalade because I needed that combination for towing. I didn't want to wait for the Denali, and I'm not crazy about the looks of it.
 
Unfortunatly, I did not realize the stigma that comes with having an Escalade until after I started driving it. Don't get me wrong, its a great ride, but ....

Easy Mod for Rear Emblem by cecook

Alright all there is a solution to finding a cheap, chrome rear bowtie. Take a small screwdriver and carefully pry the gold lid from the shell of the factory rear emblem. Underneath it is a chrome, outlined bowtie that looks great. I say be careful when you pry the lid off because the screwdriver may ding the chrome underneath it and show the scuffs. Email me for pics.

I just recently purchased a new '07 Denali. It is far superior for towing then my previous Yukon. I pull a 4500 lb boat/trailer with ease now... Great tow vehicle.
 
Has anyone added Sirius to their vehicles?

OK, let's try this one more time. The engine and drive specs I mentioned were from the 2006 Chev Suburban promo book. Sorry 'bout that. Seems they have made some big changes in the specs for 2007.
