You can download your complete 2002 owners manual here.

You can also request the build sheet for the vehicle and get all the detail on your vehicle (RPO and Option codes) process below.

There is also a way to get the original build sheet with RPO codes from Chevrolet. setup a my.chevrolet.com account then you can send a request in like I did below. Received the build sheet a day later.

I recently purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Suburban. I have setup a my.chevrolet.com account linked to this email address. Can I get a pdf copy of my build sheet sent to me at this address? VIN 1GNSKHKC7KRXXXXXX <- (insert your VIN here)

You have GU4, the 3.08, the "soccer mom" ratio. 5000 max towing. :-(

Just Google 2012 Tahoe Owners Manual, and the first result is a pdf download of the manual from GM's website.

Or just click this

Thank you for the tip! I'll definitely follow up on that.

Interesting that you have the 2-speed transfer case with 3.08 gears. Your truck has built in Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist. Download the manual, buy one off Ebay and read it cover to cover.

You can spend some money and add those missing features to increase its capacities. Got pics of both trucks?

I've been on the computer too long today, I thought your signature said 2016 Suburban! LOL

Is that the car also by Toyota and someone else? My cousin has one and she doesn't let her boys or her husband drive it!

That would be the BRZ. Also badged by Toyota as the 86. I always saw it as Toyota collaborating with Subaru for a way to test consumer interest for revival of the Supra. The BRZ is a cool car, and in as much as I can understand, was meant to directly compete with the Miata for entry level hobby racers.
