    Towing Travel Trailer

    I think that you will be a lot happier with this trailer. After you get it loaded, it shouldn't be over 6,000 pounds. The route you are taking should not be a challenge engine performance wise and you can get an idea of how your Tahoe handles a load. The trailer floor plan looks like my...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    It's hard to tell, but it looks as though the rear end of your Tahoe might be down a little. And the front might be up a little, which might mean a little less weight on the steering wheels and tires. Did you weigh the trailer as loaded and get the tongue weight and axle weight and ensure that...

    AC Condenser replacement part/ dealership shady?

    If they did not replace the condenser, they are stealing from you and from GM when they billed GM for the warranty service. If you don't care about continuing your relationship at this dealership, you might consider taking some pictures. Make a copy of the work order showing it to be a...

    Is it possible that this Tahoe has 4WD/AWD? (pic of dash)

    FWIW, According to my 2016 Owner's Manual, there are three propulsion systems for the Tahoe. Two Wheel Drive - that's all, 2WD rear axle only. G80 Locking differential standard. RPO NP0 - 4 Wheel Drive - Single Speed Automatic Transfer case 2 ^ (2WD High), AUTO (Automatic Four Wheel Drive)...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    It sounds like a really attractive trip. Are you planning to stay east of the Mississippi River or go out west? Denver starts out a mile high and elevations go up from there. That trailer loaded plus a family of five or six and their gear in the Tahoe would be a goodly load. Don't feel that...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    Didn't know we had a factory trans thermostat. I'll be watching my transmission temps to see how they behave.

    My title

    It's easy to print a hardcopy of the email and take it in and ask the credit union manager if they sent it and ask them what needs to be done to straighten things out. If they goofed and another title application has to be submitted to the DMV, they shouldn't have a problem with paying the fee...

    2016 GM 9C1 and SSV Manuals - Dexcription and Specifications

    Except for minor differences, the other 2015-2020 manuals should be similar. I've included a link at the bottom where you can try to get other years' manuals. Disclaimer: The following links may become unusable at any time. I've downloaded the PDF pertinent to my 2016 Tahoe 2WD LT in case...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    The devil is in the details. ;) See the small print on the sticker that says "Tow vehicle maximum trailer rating may be less." The hitch is built to go on more than one vehicle, like on a 2500 Suburban. The manufacturer doesn't know on what vehicle it will be installed. So they put in the...

    What to check on 2016 LT Tahoe I may buy

    The front two windows are already tinted the max legal in Texas. I'll think about the windshield. That might be useful here in South Texas.

    HELP TOWING WITH 2019 GMC YUKON DENALI XL 6.2

    For what it is worth, in my 2016 Tahoe manual, it says to adjust the spring bars so that the front of the vehicle "body to ground distance" at the front wheel well is "the same after coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle and adjusting the hitch". Also, "weight of additional optional...

    Need a backup bells and whistles key fob

    Thank you for your response, Gary. i bought it from a used truck dealer here in San Antonio. Located it through Autotrader. Did your GM dealer get the internal metal key cut for your Tahoe?

    What to check on 2016 LT Tahoe I may buy

    I have it now, so it's mine, with or without warts. Hopefully without. In any case, I expect to keep it a long time and take care of it.

    Need a backup bells and whistles key fob

    My Tahoe came with only one of these. They didn't tell me until after all of the pre-purchase stuff, which only needed one, was over and they said here's the key to your Tahoe. Huh? Only one? So I didn't have any leverage on them. Oh well. On eBay I see these for anything from $20 to...

    HELP TOWING WITH 2019 GMC YUKON DENALI XL 6.2

    Hi. As swathdiver said above, swaying is usually due to not enough of the trailer weight on the tongue of the trailer. Swaying can be really scary. Fifty years ago I was towing a U-Haul from San Antonio to Oakland. I left San Antonio with a tailwind. Partway into the trip I made a turn in a...

    2020 Tahoe Max Trailering Package?

    I have a copy of the Chevrolet 2020 Trailering Guide. It is too large for the Forum to allow me to upload it. If you PM me your email address, I will email it to you. The Max Trailering package does not change the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of a Tahoe. What it does is change the GCWR...

    Extended Warranty.....Yay or Nay?

    OK. It makes sense. Thank you. I passed on a 2015 Yukon XL Denali and then found my 2016 Tahoe LT with NHT. Right size with less bells and whistles and no big hole in the roof. Better gas mileage on regular instead of premium. Like PNW VietVet said on the first page. America means that we...

    2019 Tahoe for towing. Difference between tow and max trailer package?

    Hi, Jason. Your trailer looks to be riding fairly high. Did you flip the axles on it?

    2019 Tahoe for towing. Difference between tow and max trailer package?

    Upscale models have the Magneride suspension instead of the optional rear air suspension. The three character code on the glove box Service Parts Identification label is Z85 for the air suspension on my LT. The Magneride suspension, RPO Z95 on a couple of YuKon Denali's I considered, also uses...

    2019 Tahoe for towing. Difference between tow and max trailer package?

    I have PDF's of the Chevrolet Trailering Guides from 2015 through 2020. Does the Forum have a location where I can upload them? According to the Trailering Guides, all 5.3L Tahoes from 2015 through 2020 came with the HD Trailer package (RPO Z82) hitch, GU4 3.08 Rear Axle Ratio (Unless they had...

    Does her engine have the Active Fuel Management/Displacement on Demand? Could a solenoid sticking or going bad be the cause of the noise?

    Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs with OE compressor, etc.

    Using an onboard compressor for the Air Lift rear coil bags controlled from the front seat is a more expensive and higher tech way to control the air in the bags. People typically put 5 psi in them unloaded and then put in what is needed to level the vehicle when loaded or with a trailer tongue...

    What to check on 2016 LT Tahoe I may buy

    I've driven it on the freeway with the windows down four inches with no problem. My mechanic drove it and put it up on the lift and found no problems. The only thing he said is to watch for ticking of the lifters indicating that the Active Fuel Management (AFM) Displacement on Demand (DOD)...
