Lol I like them all for different reasons. I thought abbout doing exactly what you suggested just haven't pulled the trigger.

I have 3 kids and love them for different reasons too...

I have three kids also, well built, but some could use a firmware upgrade.

As much as I like the '05 I have decided to list it for sale.

If it has no rust, it should sell pretty quick. You may have talked about any rust in this thread, but I do not recall. Any broken exhaust manifold bolts?

 

[EOD_Tech Infidel]

No rust, and no broken manifold bolts that I've seen. I'm pretty particular about my vehicles. It's honestly a great truck and I'm sure I'll regret selling. I just retired from the Air Force and need to get rid of toys/hobbies.

My 2005 Tahoe Z71 has 166k miles and no rust and has 3 broken manifold bolts with 3 clamp kits. The bolt breaks are pretty common. You can take care of them religiously and still get a broken bolt or two or more. If all the way at front or back, the kits do a great job. The left rear fits the right front too. The left front fits the right rear too. I would look before a prospective buyer does. If the inner ones break, that is a whole can of worms. Lots of threads with plenty of ideas, here. There is only one thing I wish I did not have on my Z71 and that is a sun roof. I see you have one too. I like your white Z. Wish it was closer to Oregon.

X2 on the sunroof. It's functional but I'd rather not have one. That was literally the deciding factor between selling this and the 2013 Z71 (no sunroof).

 

[OR VietVet]

I plan to keep my Z and may decide to do a permanent cover up there, of some sort.

X3….
Too hot on the head when open/visor pulled back IMO… don’t even get started on the panoramic roof glass…

Opinions may vary…
To each their own.

Sell them all and get a new Tahoe! If you haven’t driven a new one at least give it a try! The handling, performance and smooth quiet ride will be quite a difference from what you have - or maybe not. Either way it’s worth a test run!
