Replying to: car44 (Apr 27, 2006 3:17 pm) It's a 2005 I bought Sept. 30, 2005. I have about 6500 miles on it - roughly 1/2 city, 1/2 highway. Two minor problems so far: something was wrong with the windshield washer, which the dealer fixed. Now, the cigarette lighter isn't working. I don't smoke, but my wife and I use the cigarette lighter on trips to charge the cell phone, so I will get it fixed as soon as I have time to take it back to the dealer. (I know there is another outlet, which is working; we use both of them - 1 for each cell phone.) I like the Tahoe. I bought it because we wanted an SUV and it's the only one availale without a center console. If I didn't have these long legs, I would have gotten something smaller that gets better gas mileage. I've heard good things about the Highlander, and I have a high regard for Toyota quality. Let me know if you want any more specifics.

Replying to: car44 (Apr 27, 2006 12:41 pm) If you are that concerned about the fuel, I have a suggestion. You need to adopt the "First Law of Good Driving". That law states:   "If you ever have to use your brakes while traveling greater than 40 MPH, you are probably doing something wrong"   What you might be doing wrong is: 1. Traveling too close to the car ahead of you. 2. Waiting too long to back off the gas when approaching a stoplight/stop sign. 3. Not looking far enough ahead and reacting to something taking place. 4. Accelerating too quickly in traffic. 5. Just plain going too fast for the road conditions.   You would be amazed at what effect the 40 MPH rule has on fuel consumption. I would guess 15 to 25% depending on the driver.   Basically what you are doing is driving like a hybrid in that you are not converting your fuel energy to heat given off by the brakes. A hybrid driving right next to you will get no better fuel economy than you will if you are not using your brakes!!!!

Replying to: jewelyblue (Apr 27, 2006 8:01 pm) Do you know where you can get one of those $1500 GM coupons that you got in the mail? I just purchased an '07 Tahoe 4x4 LTZ yesterday and got the $1500 trade in rebate, plus I'm considered a GM employee, so I got the employee pricing, but I wondered if I took a $1500 coupon in to the dealer if they would honor it?

Replying to: bigredn8 (Apr 28, 2006 4:14 pm) From what I understand, both from this forum and I asked the dealer, these GM coupons were mailed out totally at random to former customers. They were good for different dollar amounts depending on the GM vehicle purchased, but the value was $1,500 towards the larger SUVs.   I used a large dealership in the DFW area and when asked if they had seen many of these, I was told by my salesman that he'd seen only 3 or 4 in the past month, and he was one of their top salespeople. He said he was hoping he'd get one in the mail!   I suspect many people toss them out before they even know what they are. The mailing was a very nicely done, multi-page color brochure about the size of an envelope. I doubt that a dealer would be willing to honor one after a sale has been made because my husband went over to finish the deal and they wouldn't even begin the financing without having the coupon, which was with me. They started the paperwork once I showed up with it.   It made for a pretty good deal considering I got a total of $4,000 off my Tahoe!

Replying to: car44 (Apr 27, 2006 12:41 pm) Besides the gas mileage, I can't see why you waffeling between a Tahoe and a Highlander. They are totally diferent in looks and ride. The highlander is a great vehicle, but too small for anyone considering a Tahoe. I traded my 2002 Tundra Limited Access 4 x 4 for a new 2007 Yukon SLT loaded and I am quite happy so far. I tried out Sequoias, Highlanders and a Landcruiser before finally settling on the Yukon. After 14 years with various Toyotas, I felt it was time to leave some of my cash in the USA. I vote for the GM so far. Everyday comfort is most important. Good Luck
#922 of 3125 Upcoming Exits on nav screen by jnrz Apr 30, 2006 (4:57 am)
Anyone know if it is possible to remove this feature fron the nav screen? When you are driving a route, it takes up 1/2 the screen telling you what exits are coming up. I cant figure out how to minimize or get rid of it.

Replying to: bodi77 (Apr 24, 2006 3:09 pm) I tried 87 octane in the 07 LTZ for three tanks, but I'm now back to 93.   I didn't like hearing the slight pinging up a hill with 87. I'll gladly pay the extra $4.00 per tank to keep it running smooth with 93. Replies to this message: 73shark (Apr 30, 2006 6:09 pm)

Replying to: shawnhackett (Apr 30, 2006 5:38 pm) Better take it in for service. It definitely shouldn't ping/knock on regular. Sounds like a non-functioning knock sensor. Good luck.
