Wow, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully they'll have the issues worked out soon. What's going wrong with them?

Z06 isn't in production yet Its the regular cars. There are a BUNCH of tests dealers have to do before delivery now to see if they have issues including going WOT in reverse with the brakes applied...

Wow that is crazy quality control may wasn't there.

Oh, thought serge said the Holdup on the A8 Z is cooling of the transmission. And that the M7 had no constraints. My bad... Misunderstood.

For real. Are there a lot of folks here typing/using voice recognition from their phones? No one likes a grammar **** but some of these posts are incomprehensible.

First of all, I'm glad your wife is okay. You should remember that for the time being the only vehicles coming with the eight speed transmission are the Yukon Denali. Or, more specifically, the vehicles with the 6.2 L engines. We expect the 5.3 L engines to receive the eight speed transmission in the next model year or two. It sounds as though you need a vehicle before then. For someone purchasing a Tahoe the difference between the 2015 and the 2015i boils down to the availability of the 4G LTE OnStar and inductive cell phone charging in the dashboard. There are also some differences in how the various packages are named.

Thank you Lyon. That helps a lot. That is what sales manager told me. But he also told me the particular vehicle I was looking at didn't have the max towing package (it does) so he lost some credibility. I will still read this thread through over the weekend but I'll probably try to work out a deal on Monday.

You're welcome and good luck.

Can someone help a part time lurker out here? I've been eyeing the new Tahoe for over a year. Wasn't really in a position to buy one until wife's car was totaled yesterday. (Nobody seriously hurt and she was not at fault - other driver ran red light and hit her)

Anyway I am not totally up to speed on differences between 2015 and 2015i. I understand the 8 speed and 4GLTE. What about the rest of the powertrain? What else. I'll try to read all 46 pages this afternoon. I know the owner of the dealer fairly well and he set us up for the weekend with a demo 2015 LT (2400 miles - I think he was personally driving it) with the tow package that has the 2 speed differential. (Heavy duty tow may be what it is called) MSRP = $62K. I could buy at a decent discount Monday.

I have a '05 Avalanche Z71 that I will drive a few more years before the new Tahoe will become mine as then I'll take over the Tahoe and she will "upgrade". Point being I plan to keep 10+ years. I can buy now or can wait.

I'll be working on reading this thread complete, but any quick insight will be appreciated.

The transfer case, front and rear differentials and updated driveshaft u-joints and stub axles are revised and different in the 2015i. I'm not sure if this applies to all of the 2015i models or just the ones with the 6.2L.

It applies to anything with the 8 speed as that's what necessitated the changes.
