Replying to: nedzel (Sep 22, 2005 5:17 am) A modern turbo-diesel would improve mileage a good 30%. Imagine 20 mpg city, instead of 14. Low 20's on the highway. Better towing. And they didn't do it. Fools. I agree

Anyone think those are 20" tires? And will they be offered or are they just for show?

I'm considering buying a 2005 now. Should I wait for the 2007? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, it depends. You should probably buy a 2005 now if you plan on buying in 3 or so years. I'll bet you anything that in 2 or 3 years GM would have fixed all of the first year "bugs" in these trucks and proabbly add a deisel and fold-flat 3 row seat. This car is too important to them to ignore the concerns posted here. And you know the 2005's are bullet proof since they ahve been around for so long. I don't really know why the fold flat is so important since the truck is huge anywhay, but GM should see this and do something about it sooner or later. Hopefully for GM and America, they do it sooner.

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Sep 22, 2005 6:44 am) "It's the look you've been asking for--20 inch wheels and tires on the 2007 Tahoe. These GM-segment exclusive factory-installed polished aluminum wheels and all-season tires are standard on the Tahoe LTZ and available on the LT models." If you look at the Tahoe page there's a link to the preview information about the 2007. |

Sorry folks, but GM could put Recaro seatsin their vehicles, 350hp motors that got 25 mpg, and cut their prices in half, and I still wouldn't even consider them. To me, it's all about quality, or total lack thereof. I have owned many vehciles, domestic, Japanese, and European, and GM is the absolute worst-but what makes it more frustrating is the complete lack of customer service- for example...I bought a 2003 Silverado(new). Within two months the dashboard began peeling, the dealer said I must have used a solvent to clean it! (I use only Mothers products) I appealed to the area GM rep who, without looking at the truck, agreed with the dealer. (the truck is babied to say the least-never towed, bed never used, Mobil 1 oil change w/ K&N filer at 250 miles and every 1500 miles since! Never driven close to hard, heated/a/c garage, never off-road-the underside is as clean and waxed as the top!!)More than 1/4 of the dash has peeled, looks great! The Bose radio quit after less than a year, a crossmember under the brake fluid res. is all rusted apparently from spilling brake fluid during initial filling at the factory, the headliner is falling off, all the paint has completely fallen off the side trim, front wheel bearings replaced at 36,000 miles, rear rotors/pads at 40k(rotors can't be turned), the door hinge welds are cracked, now the underside of the hood is all rusted along every seam.None of the above the dealer/factory would cover. I love the ride and the power, but never, ever again. Buyers beware!!

Lemon Law protection? You know GM that i have heard of treats its customers better than that. You should report eh GM guy and dealer to a higher up CS manager. That is horrible, especially on an important truck sale. However you must realise that if GM really made bad products, it would have dies a long time ago. I issue is union/labor that is driving it down and they are doing alot to improve product. They have largely succeded. A firend of mine had a problem with a Cobalt he JUS BOUGHT. The dealer was not willing to help, but GM offered to UPGRADE his car to a MALIBU for free. GM wants to keep its customers. I understand that after an expirience like yours you don't like GM, but it does not mean that this cannot happen anyware else. Just check these trucks out, you not gonna have to deal with much by test driving one.

| Is what I see when I view these pics. More "refined" looking yet more "beefier" in appearance. Which "plays" right into the whole mindset regarding the SUV craze. People believe they've just become ass kickers when they mount their SUV. They actually believe they're rough and tough as a result of buying an SUV. It's human psyche at its worst. A vehicle represents NOTHING in terms of ones abilities and or manhood. Image is everything? Only if your a dreamer who has nothing going for them. | |
