    Finally in my garage!!!

    Run the tires at 1 or 2 psi below cold recommended tire pressure it will make a huge difference. I go by the warm pressure, 33 or 34 at highway speed is high enough for me. The pressure rating is part of the cafe standards and it's all a trade off including tire wear whatever is important to...

    Did GM stop taking orders for 2021 Yukons?

    Do they even do 10 year auto loans? As one who gets the employee discount and could write a check for it I question the wisdom in doing so. At these prices one could buy a Mercedes, BMW or Audi. It will take more thought to choose the large GMs over the more stylish and better tech. Screw...

    2021 Tahoe with 6k miles mine has already had a head off

    I take my new vehicles to my local tire guy to have an alignment. He says all GMs are out of spec from the factory and they sure track better afterward.

    Did you that little cubbie hole

    I'll bet a Pico .380 would fit in there. Stuff the end of the compartment with bubble wrap so you don't have to fish it out in an emergency.

    Did GM stop taking orders for 2021 Yukons?

    GM's first quarter profit is expected to be around $3 billion. I'm sure they are thankful to those who have to have it now at any cost. With the multitudes of people clamoring for things they deserve expect to pay a premium on anything those multitudes desire.

    Advice on 2021 Tahoe, 5.3 V8 vs. Duramax 3.0

    Agree with having more sidewall. Did you have problems with the air ride? I would think it might reduce leaning and improve handling.

    Advice on 2021 Tahoe, 5.3 V8 vs. Duramax 3.0

    How do the 22" wheels ride? Do yo have air ride, wonder if this is a requirement to smooth the road with 22" wheels. Going the High Country or Denali route the Duramax is a $1500 credit and would be a simple decision when compared with the 6.2 gasser for economy even if one didn't tow or drive...

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    Imagine trying to forecast decades ago our technological capabilities of today. Now try to imagine how many decades it will require to see any environmental benefit of a slight carbon reduction and how easy it will be to eliminate any gain with new sources of contamination. EV's may be here to...

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    The link to the clip you provided states that as demand increases line loss on the electric grid increases. There is no data to show how a mass conversion to electric vehicles will impact that loss. You are only providing bits of information that the industry is feeding to you. Prove me wrong...

    Conceiving the entire problem, looking beyond political/financial interests without using quips is even harder.

    Can I Add factory Navigation ?

    I suppose but I use the Garmin because I don't have a smart phone, society at large hates those of us who don't. Perhaps I could qualify as a minority. Of course I'm kidding. I recently upgraded from a Garmin Nuvi to a Drivesmart 65 and it is truly worth it.

    I would like to be able to link a Garmin that would be ideal.

    2021 Tahoe with 6k miles mine has already had a head off

    Looking at the past model's history it may take three years for this platform to become dependable. These seem to have way more problems than the 2015. Feel badly for the owners and myself, wanted to order a new Tahoe this next year.

    '21 High Country Ceramic Coat

    I might be interested in doing this myself. Could you explain the steps you listed or where I might educate myself on doing this? My vehicles have always been hand washed and waxed. Would this make it easier? How often do you reapply the ceramic coat?

    How about some gas mileage reports?

    That would be my 2012 Tahoe with 5.3L. Under ideal conditions, flat and no or a bit of tail wind, running 89 octane at 70mph it's capable of 22+mpg.

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    We will be burning things to make other things go for a long long time. At least a hundred years while governments spend a hundred trillion on pet boondoggles along the way. Reforestation is the answer. Take a look at google maps they're all gone. Sorry, there is no real money in it, people...

    How about some gas mileage reports?

    Times 2.35214583 would make that 10.349441664969 mpg? That must in a lot of idling or cold weatheror a lot of full throttle starts? If not I would also be talking to the service department. Break in won't make that much difference. I have that all screwed up, we need somebody smart. 4.4L/100 km...

    How about some gas mileage reports?

    Diesels will get better mileage but per mile fuel cost may not be worth the added maintenance expense unless one drives a lot of miles per year or tows often, in my book. 20mpg highway is what I get if using 87 octane and you have a decent horsepower advantage.
