Limited Edition Tahoe they only made 33,000 limited units total with the hybrid 2mode silverados ,tahoe,yukon,Escalade Models...




Exclusive options...

it has the same rear end as the 2015+ model ..
Electric power steering (ESP)
A revised front end(face lift)
LED tail lights left and right(also running light disabled on the tail light to save power)
clutch less Electric High voltage 300VAC A/C
XFE Package. (lowered ride height & firmer smoother ride )
Dual 2.5" OVERSIZED mufflers (these are HUGE mufflers bigger then on some 18 wheelers)
for ultra quiet operation. aka stealth mode


because of the over sized mufflers they had to delete the spare tire so i had to buy one


this is my ride

What year? Also what do you mean "same rear end as the 2015+ model"? 2015+ has different options. 3, at least. Would love to see a pic of the glove box RPO sticker.

Looks like an 8.6 rear to me. The K2s did start using a 1410 yokes and u-joints on the rear differential like the 2008-2013 2500s.

I think the hybrid technology is cool and would like to poke around one with my Tech-2 someday.

The rear end body is almost identical to the 2015 it has that "square body shape" the only difference I can see is where the rear wiper is it does not sit as flat as the 15+, the 15+ has a smaller back up lens
slight change to the spoiler(maybe more optimized )




I wonder if it would be possible to swap to the tail gate
to give it a true 15+ appearance on the rear end

I'll take some photos in the day time. under it


I guess GM made a easter egg

technically the hybird rear end is a Easter egg, secret feature of a work that lead to the 2015 rear end

I forgot to mention the spoiler is not the same as the normal version..

Ohhhhh, that rear end! Sorry, when someone says rear end and the topic is cars, I think of the axle or differential! Got it now!

I have heard that the rear door opening is smaller on the K2s than the GMT900s.

Me too. I was thinking gearing!

And we still don't know what year this truck is.

Is it LFA or LZ1? HY1 or HY2?

i'll counter you the rear 2015 is heavily based on 2008 rear hybrid model.

that is what lowers the drag coefficient from 0.36 to 0.34


you can see the normal version, the rear glass is completely flush with the d plier

while the redesigned rear 2008 HY trip is closer to a 15+ you just used crappy photos to justify your thinking it's the "same"


the Spoiler, 3rd, tail lights and d plier are not the same as the 07 version also the wires are not the same

Delete two running lights

Added High quality LED based lighting....
Added square shape rear

Different hitch cover
different rear bumper instead of being round it's square shape

it's identical to the 2015 model


The main difference between the HY and the 15 is the FLAT glass used
the HY has the original '07 slightly curved type glass..

This is why it's not the same to you
IS the FLAT glass used on the '15+ :bleh: that is the key difference
