1st month and 1200 miles thoughts….

... Dynamic Fuel Management? I did not realize the tahoe ran on 6 or 4 cylinders.
Is there a preferred module maker? Hopefully it is easy to add and remove if needed to pull for any warranty work.

AFM had only one V4 mode, it always shut off the same 4 cylinders.

DFM can shut off ANY cylinder, or any combo of cylinders, and can switch variations every 2RpM.
DFM has SEVENTEEN different possible firing orders, including a 0-cylinder mode -
all 8 cylinders close themselves off of air and starve themselves of fuel,
while the engine still spins because it stays connected to the driveline.
Even Range and CarByte seem to be unable to deactivate this 0-cylinder mode,
although they are able to deactivate all the other V7, V6, V5, V4, V3, & V2 modes just fine.

They're about as plug'n'play as you can get these days.

So ive had my new 24 tahoe RST for about a month and 1200 miles…

Being a ford pickup guy my whole life, this is my 1st suv…..

Disaapointments, not many,
1. No fog lights? My grill has the square cutouts sort of semi cut but no fog lights? Weird….
2. Backup lights kinda suck.. i have a fairly long driveway, 250’ and leave for work early in the dark… the backup lights leave a lot to be desired…

Loves
Most everything else, stereo is good enough or better than i would need
Interior is big, roomy, comfy and plenty of room. Power lift gate is very convenient for the dog-wish i could close the tailgate from the fob, not just open it… but thats a very minor inconvenience.

Mileage - decent average so far is 18 mpg, but its winter and I am sure it will be better in warmer months.

Handling in snow? Its a weird winter in maine, weve hardly had any snow, so i cant tell one way or another yet.

Amenities: great, heated seats, steering, rear heater all work good. All the camera options and views are great. Autowipers and high beams are nice.

Quirks: phone charging is a little intermittent, it charges then stops charging then if i move the phone a bit it starts charging again… not perfect but not really much of an issue at all.

Additions so far: weathertech mat for the 3rd row, which is down for the dog.
Weathertech mudflaps
Ceramic coating- car looked fantastic till this weekend’s mucky weather got it all dirty…

Future additions:
Probably fog lights and definitely some sort of either added backup lights or backup light bulb replacements.


Wishes: wish i could permanently disable auto stop, i know i can press the button but every time i start the car, is kind of stupid.

Wish i could disable the seat belt warning chimes, this might be a safety thing that cant be disabled, in my old f150 (2017) i could disable the chimes. I did disable the buckle up before it goes into drive preference…

So far, i love the truck, its beatiful and i am very happy i opted for a Tahoe over the expedition.

My wife's 2022 Tahoe LT I can open and close the tailgate with the FOB, once you open the gate press the button again on the FOB and it should close. Can't remember if it's a double press or single press.

 

[2024 White Tahoe]

Funny you mention this, i have not even really thought or noticed it as an issue missing the grab bar.


I am kind of handicapped, and my issue is the siderails on the tahoe are not as wide as my f150, so i sort of step onto the siderails with my foot parallel to the siderail/door where on the f150 i would just step on the siderails and climb in - if that makes sense.

I step in the same way.

I’ve owned a 4WD SUV for 21 years, prior to this Tahoe. Each had an A-pillar grab handle. I am very used to entered the vehicle using a grab handle.

I have had both knee joints and one hip joint replaced. Although I’m healed, the grab handle would make it much easier to enter the vehicle.

I looked - the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado has a grab handle on the front left A-pillar. I wish I knew why Chevrolet didn’t include this feature - although they include an A-pillar grab handle on the right front side of the Tahoe?
