    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    What type of repairs over the years and current mileage? Just curious what I should expect, I have a 2017 5.3L, 4x4, pretty much never tow or go off road - road trip highway truck, occasional dirt road, rarely though. I change the oil relentlessly, and all fluids and factory service done...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    I remember when I sold used(up) cars back in the early 90's , the Lexus we had on the lot would have 150k ++ miles and still felt great. Meanwhile the Caddy's were ready for the junkyard. But that is old GM quality. My 2017 Tahoe is miles ahead of the old GM 80's and 90's quality, and the...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Agree on the FJ, and those things have a cult following too. Very rugged looking trucks!

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Looking at old/previous generation Sequoias on the road around me now, I remember why I went for the Tahoe Sequoias have a wimpy, soccer mom look, just not a truck look, and definitely not my style. Looks like a stuffed toy animal if you look at it really good. Tech is old, if you think about...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    The 5.3 has some crazy high mileage examples out there If I can get to 250k to 300k easy miles, that's my goal. Toyota just seems to have an excessively long update schedule, and GM looks easier to work on based on the replies.. (My current Tahoe is being babied, one day I want to be the old...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    I've often wondered if Toyota was considered more reliable simply because they are so slow to update - thoughts? Seems like the easy was to keep reliability is to just keep what works, but I prefer some updates, hence my Tahoe - old Sequoia looked outdated as hell when I was looking.

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Curious how we hold up against Toyota's reputation for quality and reliability? Saw a recent post from some0ne who said their Sequoia was marginally better. Wife likes the Sequoia, but I personally don't like the hybrid crap or the battery, extra things to break, etc. (I've owned Toyotas but...

    If I never replaced the transmission Thermal Bypass Valve, should I be running to the dealer ASAP?

    I had all fluids changed at around 50k miles, so 30k on what's in there now. Appreciate the reply though, i want to keep this truck long term so do whatever i can.

    If I never replaced the transmission Thermal Bypass Valve, should I be running to the dealer ASAP?

    2017 Tahoe LT, 6 speed, never replaced this as far as I know - should I be concerned? I don't tow, and Florida is pretty flat, so not a whole lot of stress ln my trans.

    Which one do i want?

    "Get it going above 50 and hold it there for a good solid few minutes and the vent temps go from 55 to 43... Once you get the cabin cool it will maintain the 40 degree vent temps but just takes a while to overcome the solar load etc also in the interior. " That's what mine was doing before I...

    Which one do i want?

    Just replaced my condenser at 79k, so they do go out. $1300 repair and AC will freeze you out now. If the AC is warm, something is wrong, period, been through that crap enough living in FL. I saw a previous comment about the trans - my 2017 Tahoe LT has a 6 speed, not an 8 speed - unless I'm...

    Front left tire noise -or a hub? Need your help everyone/Resolved

    $763 is what I paid out the door at the dealer, probably overpaid a little(but last time I used an independent mechanic locally was severely disappointed) It was a hub and not tires, truck drives perfect now.

    Just picked her up

    Curious what you paid, mind sharing? I have a 2017 Tahoe LT just about to hit 80k miles, wondering what higher mileage is selling for now. Really want to keep mine, wondering if value drop off after 100k - would consider selling, but really like my truck.

    Front left tire noise -or a hub? Need your help everyone/Resolved

    Looking at my previous thread from November, this smells like a hub. Anyone know the "right" price for a front hub? I have the AWD/4wd with the dash selector if that helps. Going to book an appt today unless anyone thinks it's a tire - previous comments pointed out that a hub would change...

    Front left tire noise -or a hub? Need your help everyone/Resolved

    There's humming noise from the front left tire - or is it a hub ??? Been going on for 6 months +, originally thought it was a tire, gets worse at higher speeds, truck does NOT pull to either side, tire looks ok. Noise is now louder, so either the tire is worse, or the hub/bearing is getting...

    2017 Tahoe - AC went out, suggestions for what shop? (dealer or independent)

    AC gradually got warmer over a few weeks, now is toast. I'm debating whether to go to my dealer or a local independent AC shop, there's a chain of Ice Cold AC shops in Tampa, who've been around for years. Asking because the last AC service to my Toyota, was by a regular local mechanic, and...

    Best sport truck for mild build?

    I'm thinking of a faster "fun" truck for summer 2023 - wife says Tahoe, but I think more like a pickup Requirements - needs to burn rubber on command, be 2wd, and V-8 , currently have a 5.3L, wondering if a 6.2L pickup would be the way to go? Want something to rip around Tampa Bay, add wheels...

    I'm done!

    Classic inflation scenario - everyone was told not to work during Covid, but our government sent out free $$$ and lowered rates to zero, and then Biden took aim at Oil companies and sent oil/gas prices through the roof - perfect storm for inflation and shortages. It'll normalize but just Econ...

    2015-2019 5.3 any good?

    So are the 2017 5.3’s aluminum? Or are some possibly iron blocks?

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Update - after hearing a rattle on startup over the weekend, I've concluded this is a exhaust issue, either a clamp rattling or something else that is loose. Tires checked out, hub/bearings aren't looking like their the problem, and now that I think it's exhaust, it sounds more like it every...

    Is a Ford F-150 Lightning EV or a Silverado EV a Good Alternative to a Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban.

    I still wonder how charging realistically increases your home electric bill - if my AC in Florida runs constantly in the summer, on a 220 line, how is charging an EV going to NOT cost me $200/month minimum? Because my AC costs about $200 per month in the summer. Gas costs me - about...

    Is a Ford F-150 Lightning EV or a Silverado EV a Good Alternative to a Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban.

    I remember in 2018 when Marijuana and CBD were going to take over medicine, and the pot stocks were all the rage-- Canopy Growth stock was at a high of $55 , now it's under 4 bucks - because the hype is over I regard the EV hype the same way - it'll cool off, reality sets in, and EV's will be...

    6 speed auto, sounds like I need to go the dealer and get it checked out.

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Update - tires rotated, noise is still there, maybe slightly better? Thinking bearing or hub in the very beginning of failure, doesn't vibrate or pull, just a low humming noise, gets worse after driving 20 minutes or so.

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Friend drove it, thinks it's a tire, so off to Tire Kingdom to rotate/inspect under the tire warranty. Update later, might be a tire, or if not it's time for the dealer. Still can't get the noise to change by swerving , so tire is most likely at the moment.
