Unless GM has changed something on the new models, it comes with the hitch. But it won't come with the bar and ball. (goes into the receiver hitch)

I've never seen a factory tow package come with the draw bar and ball. That would make no sense because there are numerous styles of bars and balls necessary for towing different trailers.

I agree. I just hadn't bothered to post why I thought they weren't including them. But the Tahoes are like the Trailblazers in that they come with the integrated rear hitch on all of them.

Trailer Draw bar

I used to have a Denali, but with my new '07, I'm having to buy a new "dropped" draw bar.
There is a 6" height difference. The '05 was 15 inches from the ground. This new vehicle is 21 inches.
I also use a cushioned bar because of the jolting from the surge brakes in the trailer. These aren't cheap.

Transmission clunk when starting in AM?

When starting my LT-3 in the AM, the tranny seems to make a clunk sound one time when in Park and immediately after the engine has turned over. The car is parked on an even surface in the garage. It has a bit over 2000 miles. Any thoughts??
PS experiencing 16.3 to 19 MPG.

Does it shift okay once you get going?
Just got mine back (2,150 miles). The transmission wiring harness (new design) had a broken diaphram which allowed transmission fluid to leak directly on the wiring. This caused the transmission to shift hard.

Engine Whine on 2007 Tahoe LTZ

I have an 2007 LTZ with the engine whine. Supposedly they're working on the fix. What's weird is that one day my audio screen went blank (more on that later), but while it was blank, the whine was gone! Also, the clicking noise that normally comes from the blinkers was gone too. After removing my MP3 CD and re-starting the vehicle, all was back to normal, including the whine! The whine must be tied to the electrical system somehow, but GM thinks it's in the steering. I don't think so. Back to the blank audio screen... When playing an MP3 CD that I burned like 200 songs on, sometimes it causes the digital clock on the screen to disappear! Then when I take out the MP3 CD and re-start the vehicle, the clock re-appears. But that one day it made the screen go blank, and I couldn't get anything to work. But that annoying engine whine was gone and I finally felt peace and tranquility driving my $50k Tahoe! Someone please let me know when they fix it!

Where do you buy a cushioned draw bar at? The towing I do is normally of trailers with surge brakes too, and I hate the jolting you mentioned. I just didn't realize that there was such a thing as a cushioned draw bar available, or I'd have looked into this a long time ago, even with the expense.

Fortunately the transmission shifts fine. I have to go back to dealer to replace for the second time the seat heat button for the front passenger side and for the door lock to be re seated (at delivery, the back light was out for upper pad, so instead of leaving well enough alone, I had the dealer replace the button as the bulbs are non replaceable; the replacement button was damaged and the door panel apparently was misaligned upon reassembly causing the door lock to become dislodged), so I will ask about the clunk. The car almost seems to move forward a bit during the clunk - but it is in Park.
Otherwise, I am keeping on top of minor creaks that are developing around the doors and panels with silicone lubricant. This truck is absolutely equivalent to our Land Rover LR-3 - and it excels in many ways.
