#41 of 3125 Buy now - by brozowski Sep 23, 2005 (7:45 am)
I strongly recommend buying now and taking advantage of lower prices and quality. I purchased a new 2003 Yukon XL right after they made some subtle changes and had a few problems with the electrical system.   I need a Suburban/Yukon XL (4 kids, hockey players, camping with a travel trailer etc) so I buy the 2500 model. I replaced my 2003 Yukon XL (8.1 Liter) with a discounted 2005 Chevrolet LT model (6.0 Liter) in June. The new model even has the GPS, which I like, but I miss the 6 cd player.   I purchased the new model for $7,000 less than the 2003 model, and it has the Sun/Sound package (moon roof and DVD player) and the GPS system, which the 2003 did not have.   After 3 months, (and 10,000 hard miles, 3000 towing) I have had no problems. They have worked out the bugs in the electrical system, and the kids love the DVD player in the back.   If you need fold flat third seats, you may want to look elsewhere, but I remove my 3rd seat all the time. Difficult? Yes. But I think the storage I would lose (interior and reduced gas tank size) would not be worth it.   I am 50 years old and have been removing 3rd seats from Suburbans for over 10 years. If my wife needs it moved, she asks the kids to help. To me, it is not a deal breaker. The towing packages, storage, heavy duty transmissions, and reliability (yes, I have had great luck with GM products) outweight the inconvenience.   I regularly run my GM products to 150,000 miles or more. I have never had one not start. That's more than I can say for my Ford, Chrysler and Volvo products I have owned over the same time.

Replying to: dan165 (Sep 21, 2005 5:07 am) Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those hwy numbers measured at 55MPH. At 75 aerodynamics will take there toll. Real world MPG will be very telling. My guess is that it'll average 17 per tank on the 2WD model! Better, but not good enough with gas >=$3.00.
#43 of 3125 Plastic bumper wraps by 4rider Sep 23, 2005 (4:21 pm)
Replying to: brozowski (Sep 23, 2005 7:45 am) The new Tahoe will move away from the traidional chrome bumper to the inner bumper with outside plastic bumper warp. Personaly, I really dont like the plastic thing on the Tahoe or any truck. The plastic bumper is very easy to get scratched during any minor impact. Go to any parking lot and look closly on late modle cars and you will see substential amount of them have some visiable scraches on the plastic bumpers. Some poorly made plastic bumpers will even sag without ever being hit. Whereas most chrome bumpers last pretty much forever without any scratches or color fading. Obviously having long lasting durability is not a top priority anymore. Replies to this message: oshawa (Sep 25, 2005 4:00 pm)
#44 of 3125 epa mileage numbers by nedzel Sep 23, 2005 (7:36 pm)
Are measured on a dyno. There is a prescribed "course" that they drive -- X minutes at Y miles an hour, Z minutes stopped, A minutes at B miles an hour, etc., etc. It is NOT steady driving at 55 mph.   But I certainly agree that driving at 75 mph you will not see the highway rating.

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Sep 22, 2005 8:03 pm) No Lemon Law-In CT the defects must make the vehicle unsafe to drive, so cosmetics are out:( I understand I may have bought the one lemon, but my argument and frustration is that the dealer and GM wouldn't stand behind their product at all-but they will sell me a new one! I forgot that the drivers power seat panel has 4 screws, 3 were stripped and the other just missing...plus the 4 main Bose speaker grills have rusted!?? (Not that it matters as the radio only worked for 1 year...Several of my friends have the same truck w/o the problems (well except for the Bose radio, the brake rotors and door hinge cracks)

Replying to: 4rider (Sep 23, 2005 4:21 pm) Right on man.   This truck needs some AG Simpson chrome. Although this truck looks nice, a bar is a must on GM SUV's/Trucks. For the Silverado's/Sierra's they better have a chrome bumper and they MUST still suit Bob Seger's - Like a Rock.
