We are renting a tahoe on Friday to go from charleston to ft. Myers will let you guys know where we end up. It had better average over 20 or else we will be disappointed. Our '04 with 3.45s will do 17.5 hwy all day long at 78 mph.

That's the one thing I wanted to know about these trucks. Our '04s inability to hold 4th on even the slightest hill is beyond annoying. Sometimes it will even downshift to 2nd. And it's not a smooth downshift. It slams. The weird thing is our Srx with only 265 tq will hold 6 th gear on all but the largest climbs. Granted it weighs 1000 lbs less but the engine has no tq.
