Wife fell in love with mine other than the "man shit" as she calls it. Plus we got rid of her Jeep Compass so we were looking to give her my Tahoe or sell and get a different one. Still may sell mine but this happened yesterday.

Everything she was looking for and the few things I was looking for (4WD and less than 130k miles, I wanted to get into a newer year like 2011, but this works too). Only thing we would prefer different was not being black, but we are pretty happy with it. One owner (no kids!) at least it seems like it. Carpet is in great conduction as well as all rear seats and at 124k miles. Had some small issues like the pass side power fold mirror just stutters around and doesn't fold in and it may have a small rear main seal leak (easy fix for me) and the A/C was making some noise so we were able to talk home down about 1900 from asking price. Got it for 18500 OTD. Feel like it was pretty good deal. Suspension is also solid and has new tires. Shocks look fairly new.

Gotta look into the power at take off though, it's a bit sluggish, not sure if it's the rear end gears or just how these 6 speeds are.

If I end up selling this Tahoe will take over this page most likely but don't expect too much out of it. It's the wife's daily and will be our road trip truck. But I will be adding some things to it. I'll update later.

Only thing I ordered last night was spacer for the base of the strut of 2". Enough to get it to where it's not nose diving and looking good for me. That will be the just of the suspension until I get another travel trailer then I'll add helper bags and better shocks.

Forgot to mention that the grille guard will be going on mine most likely, not sure if I will paint to match or not since I may be selling or move it over at all but the wife doesn't like it, "man shit" again. At least she doesn't want to make it pink on black, so I can deal with it.

Thanks man. So far had no real issues just gotta get back with the dealer on a new key fob I can't get the second one to relearn. Also the factory nav always makes weird noises like a cd is in it but nothing in there. Anyone have a clue what that might be?

Drove 2.5 hours this morning to pick up my Tahoe then drove 2.5 hours back. Then went strait to the dealer I was working with and traded the Tahoe in for this bad boy. Loaded Sierra Z71 All Terrain Edition w/ a 5.3L. It was kind of sad driving off today knowing all the work I put into my Tahoe but got a pretty good deal for it and now I won't have to do as much work to my truck to get it to a point that I'm happy with.
