    2025 8 Lug Suburban

    I believe it comes down to GVWR, the 2025 Suburban GVWR is 7,700lbs whereas the 2025 Silverado 2500 is 10,850lbs (High Country 4wd). The EPA and emission regulations change at 8,500lbs which just under the 2013 Suburban 2500 GWVR of 8,600lbs...

    2025 8 Lug Suburban

    DuraBurb can absolutely do this; in fact I’m sure it’s probably cheaper as they’ll take the new body and mount it on a consumer 3500 chassis. Like I tell my clients, anything is possible if you write enough 0’s on the check.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    For others who may have implemented something similar; just found this product which claims a 10 year battery life for the AirTags. https://www.elevationlab.com/products/timecapsule While I haven't had to replace the battery in my 2500 yet I've ordered a set and plan to hide the tag a bit...

    XT5 Opinions? Thinking of purchasing a 2017

    Yep, can switch between touring (FWD), AWD, sport, and off-road modes. Can also disable traction control. The v6 will also drop to v4 mode on the highway, how much gas that really saves is unknown but I'll have it out on the freeway Tuesday and will see what kind of real world mileage it gets.

    XT5 Opinions? Thinking of purchasing a 2017

    @petethepug Finally found a good one! Picked it up on Tuesday and got it back from the Cadillac Dealer yesterday. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-nnbs-gmt900-tahoe-yukon-today.44151/post-1938208 A couple of thoughts from my search and how I'm liking the XT5...

    Thinking of Buying a 07-14 NNBS Tahoe/Suburban? Look Here

    I think KBB is low; however not far off. I think you're going to need to sell it privately if you want to maximize the price. I would ask: why are you selling it and if there is a $ figure could be put into your current truck which would make you want to keep it? This is also relevant for...

    Wireless cell phone charger for Tahoe.

    The 2017 was the last year to use the old tech; fairly easy to upgrade it to a 2018 wireless charging pad.

    Battery Replacement: What is required?

    I've never been able to replace a battery without removing the fender support; battery size for the 2013 Yukon should be a 48 however double check as I have a 2500. I've always run Duralast Platinum AGM batteries; I suppose you could go for a Yellotop if you wanted. Make sure you grab a...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Took the 2500 out to do some towing; bought a ‘21 XT5 with 0 and I mean 0 tread left at a Genesis dealer. Clearly was a miss by their intake team but otherwise the XT5 is solid and still under the factory warranty. Had to tow it over to the Cadillac dealer I mainly work with as the ice is still...

    Reliable Gas Engine Years?

    I suspect you also are changing the oil at the recommended interval or just prior and using the correct oil type/weight. A lot of failures as I've seen are due to neglecting the oil especially at the very early mileage.

    Reliable Gas Engine Years?

    The Tahoe also had the 6.2L in 09' although 4x2 only. I'd also prefer one with AFM with good documented maintenance than one which has deactivation and work done. GM produces a metric, well you know load of these and there's a reason why the consistently are the leader of full size SUVs and the...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Bread is a big saver, although there's a bakery in Northern WI I stop at that I grab 10-20 loafs and freeze for sandwiches. It's a big money saver for anything that won't expire within a few months which in turn means more money for the 2500 and the cycle repeats.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    We're exclusively formula feeding and using the water for formula and for the mini dishwasher that's used to clean/sanitize. We've got the Baby Brezza which is essentially a Keurig for formula. I tend to like to make 1 trip instead of two or three or four, for an item I know I'm going to need...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Did some 2500 things, and picked up 60 gallons of distilled water. Amazing how 500lbs of water makes it ride like it's supposed to. For those wondering, why??? My wife and I had our first born a month ago and are making formula!

    XT5 Opinions? Thinking of purchasing a 2017

    Looking for any opinions on the XT5, specifically 2017-2019; in short, wanting something that I can run around in, is comfortable, and that can hold 2 adults, kids and luggage. As many know, I have a 2013 Yukon 2500 that I'm not super keen to be driving to the store, work, the train, etc. It...
