five cent worth 04-06-2011 08:45 AM

We almost just bought one new two months ago. They were 0% for 72 months on 2010 models at the end of Jan '11.

Didn't pull trigger as we still couldn't swing that much.

they are expensive but nice. IMO a truck with four doors give yous the same thing for cheaper.

Yes and no. Travel with the Tahoe was easy, plenty of room for bags and 5 peeps.

With my HD, we have to scoot all the luggage inside every time we want to stop and do something, plus there is no comparison in the ride.

I'll agree with this. I've owned Tahoes, Suburbans, and pickups, all great platforms and loved each one of them even with there own individual drawbacks. I now have a '04 Avalanche with over 140k miles and will probably always own one because you get the best of all worlds. It's like having all three of vehicles rolled up into one.

Well - I just cut a deal on a local one with 58k on it. LTZ package with all options I believe except Navi and Rear DVD.

Probably a little more than we set out to spend, but hopefully it will prove to be a good purchase in time - I liked this one because the carfax had oil changes every 4k-5k at a local dealership for the entire time. Loved the Champagne and White Leather...

Bugs me too.

I would choose the expedition over the tahoe, or the expedition XL over the suburban because of that.

We were in the same boat in 07 shopping for new. I loved the look of the then new tahoe, but the 3rd row was my issue. We ended up buying a new 08 Expedition because the 3rd row is so much more convenient. and felt the truck was more comfortable and user friendly. 3.5 years so far. No issues. still love it.

FYI I have a 99 tahoe that I bought new - not even a comparison to the new ones of course, but I still have it and love it.

I still think the tahoes and burbans are great vehicles. Prolly can't go wrong either way.

Thanks Keith - did you get your trailer sorted out??

vindicator101 04-06-2011 08:35 PM

No not yet, still weighing my options. Not in a huge hurry. Thanks for asking. I'm keeping your number handy though. Maybe I'll take a ride your way and take a look at yours along with the new ride.

Going on 6 months of owning it, it has more than its fair share of electrical gremlins and I'm less than impressed with the way it handles. Its starting to show a lot of the same electrical issues that my 03 Silverado HD has.

We have a 03 H2 Hummer and it also has electrical problems! Radio will sometimes be on with no audio, power seats, power windows all make noise. It is almost 8 years old now. Would really love it if it had a LBZ Duramax and a two wheel drive transfer case instead of all wheel drive and the 6.0 gas burner.
