Going Tahoe shopping this weekend

[Broncojohnny]

Are you driving to Austin or equal lengths daily?

I'm trying to wrap my head around where that would be a serious purchase decision deterrent.

Proceeds to ignore the part about it being for his wife

My wife has had a 2014 Suburban since new and it has a crack in the dash like they all do but besides that we have had no issues. It holds a lot of shit, is reliable, has a lot of gadgets and has plenty of power, not sure what else you need in a mom-mobile.

We have an 11 Yukon XL. The dash looks stretch marks on a pregnant bitch. It's slow, handles like shit, is heavy and cumbersome. Otherwise, it has been very reliable. Sitting on 150k. Like to get another 50k out of it before we dump it.

My old boss had a tundra and that thing couldn’t make it to Austin without stopping for fuel. It had maybe a 20 gallon tank. Is the sequoia the same?

Wut?

I drove my 2007 Tundra home from Houston and used about 3/4 tank. I don't know what the fuel capacity on the Sequoias are, but up to 2013 Tundras had 26.4 Gal tanks, and then they went looney on 2014+ with 38 gal tanks.

when i got my f150 it came with a 36 gal tank, didn't think much of it at the time but i love it now. don't know why someone would opt for a smaller one given the option.

my old f100 has a silly small tank, like 15 gallons. It gets single digit mpg's, and it gets old buying gas all the time.

His might’ve been a ‘12. I’m certain the tank was 20 or less. One way to Austin fill up might have been an exaggeration but compared to my 2013 f150 work truck at the time with a 35 gallon tank, he was always stopping. Plus the f150 was getting 17 or 18 mpg on the highway and he was getting 12 or 13.

My 92 F150 has the stupid dual tanks, both of which are small. Front tank basically takes 13 gallons. Couple that with 14mpg and I have to fill up all the damned time.

The Cadillac Dealer here in Tulsa must have at least 10 used Escalades/Tahoe's on the Lot.

6.2's are good but their transmissions are trash (on the denali/escalades) not sure if its the same one on Tahoe's.

Yes and no. The 8 speed is trash. If you got an early 6.2 with a 6 speed its good or a newer one with the 10 speed its good too. Just avoid the 8 speed.

Correct.

Have had two 6.2s with the 6 speeds and they were excellent. The trans in my 15 6.2 8 speed is annoying. Ill pick up a 10 spd or go back to a duramax next year.

What dealers offer superchargers. Would love to get a tahoe in 2021 ( leasing grand Cherokee till then ) with a s/c and not be charged additional $40,000 to ship it off.
