Just picked up rear facia close out. Can you tell me where to drill the three holes. Instructions don't look real clear. Thanks

The instructions are very confusing. It is hard to explain but you need to tape the template that comes with the kit next to the hitch to guide you. If you are not sure i would go to the dealer because you dont want to drill in the wrong place.

I did not use the template ... the bracket lined up on the bumper just as good as the template ... I held the bracket to the bumper with some duck tape and then drilled the holes...(a little undersize)... I also used a couple of pop rivets just to be on the safe side.

2007 Tahoe Comments........ by bigjohn101

I's now been one month since I pick up my 07 LT3 Tahoe from the dealer. I now have over +2K miles on it... FYI.. I did change the oil&filter (3) three times ... The first change was at 250 miles! .. Everyone ... very carefuly take the first oil filter apart and look at filter element and in the bottom of the filter can ... you will be amazed at the AMOUNT of metal & stuff that you can see ... just imagine what you can't see and it's in YOUR engine too! ... At the third oil change I started using Mobil 1..
 
The one problem I have is that the rain sensor (ultrasonic ??) came unglued from the windshield and the dealer can't get the parts yet ... GM uses a non hardening very soft & sticky rubber type of adhesive ... IMO.. the heat of the sun softens it even futher and it looses its holding power and unless GM changes the type of adhesive it will happen again....
 
I'm very impressed with the DOD V8-V4 engine. BUT anyone with a heavy or NASCAR right foot won't get the full potential from the system.... I found that at speeds of 25 to 60 mph.... that if I leave the Tow-Haul ON ... It will down shift the transmission to third (3)... With raises the RPM's a little and more into the powerband of the engine.... And on level ground (cruise on or off) it will stay in V-4 mode for miles and miles!!

After you have had 2000+ miles on it what has been your experience for gas mileage both around town and on the highway? I'm concerned the increased weight offsets any real gain in mileage

Gas mileage ... Around town & Highways & Interstates ... IMO .. There are just to many variables ... your speed, ..traffic, .. stop & go conditions, .. your vehicle weight & loading, .. 2 or 4 W.D., .. wind & air resistance at higher speeds, .. and a personal driving style to name just a few... Turn your D.I.C. on .. to the V-8 & V-4 indicator and then retrain OUR right foot is the best way to increase gas mileage .... At a STEADY speed of 60 mph my mpg's are in the low +20 range with Tow Haul ON .... You will also note on your DIC that the slower your are traveling your mpg will improve (wind resistance & less rpm's)... I can feel the engine loosing up & more power & MPG's ... How will it be after 4k or 6k ect.?? ... time will tell...... Keep in mind .... A 6000 lbs vehicle is NOT for anyone worried about Gas Mileage !!!

What's a chrome bowtie? If they are what I think they might be, I would like to know where to get them too.

I just bought a '07 Tahoe LT3 including 20" wheels, center buckets, 3rd row seats, power lift gate, rain sense wipers with MSRP of 42,775 and KBB invoice of 38,615 including destination.
 
I paid 39,550 before TT&L. That's 3,225 off MSRP or 935 over invoice (2.4%). I negotiated with several different dealers over 6 weeks and that was the best deal I could find in the central Florida area.

Ordered 07 Tahoe by pamela57

We ordered our 07 Tahoe on March 17th. The dealer called and said it will be built on April 10th, and we should get it one to two weeks after that. We got it in Gold Mist, LT3 package, sun roof, and 4.10 axle ratio. We paid $50.00 over invoice. Is that a good price? We were not asked to put down a deposit, so we didn't.
 
I read the posts concerning paint sealing. The dealership didn't say anything about it. Is the paint different on the later models of the Tahoe? Is the paint different from what is put on the Yukon? I had a 2003 Yukon and never had any problems with the paint fading or chipping. Does it start to fade after four or five years? Should I have it sealed?
 
Thanks for any input you can give,
Pam
