While I've said it before on other consideration threads - get the 6 speed....I really dont have any issue with my 4 speed. If I'm towing at speed, what its going to run 500 more revs? Oh well. I also knew there there were no other 07+ burb 2500s in the area when I bought mine, so it was not an option to be picky. Outside of the repairs, which I suppose are in line with a 150k vehicle, I could still make out a little ahead if I were to sell it.

I had an '97, 2003, 2010 and now a 2012. The '12 is the best one of them all and I love it every time I drive it. I am tempted to get a 2016 but the prices are still out of sight right now. I do luv me some 'Hoe. Tahoe that is!

I don't tow anything, but I'd prefer the 6-speed only because the gears in the 4-speed are fairly tall, taking a long time to get to the torquey portion of the power-band.

Just curious, but what's better about the 2012 compared to the 2010? As far as i knew, there wasn't really anything different between those years. Or did you step up on the trim level from the 2010 to the 2012?

Looking at replacing my Jeep and started looking at the Tahoe. Seem to be pretty reliable - my main concern.
So the question is : having experienced one - would you do it all over again...?
yeah I have the 6.0L 2008 worth it gets excellent gas mileage way more then my old v6 3.8l impala... it's expected to pay for it self at 145,000 miles(less or more depending on fuel prices) currently at 85,800

Yes, but I will say that I don't get the same feeling of reliability with my '10 that I did with my '02. Most likely just because of the timing of each purchase and access to information about each generation of Tahoe. But the seats damn sure aren't as comfortable. At least not to this sexy ass.
