My wife drives an '08 3LT Z71 Tahoe, it's a great truck. It would be greater if it had the 6-speed trans., but after our 330xi was totalled we needed something for her. I've actually achieved 19-20mpg on a trip. We had to get some bilsteins for it, and my wife (who isn't "in" to cars) noticed the difference in like 40' of driving. LTZs have auto-ride and probably better shocks than ours came with so you may not need them.
How 'ya like the 5th gen? Oh, and btw the view from your office is waaaaaay better than mine. This post has been edited by BigEnos: Nov 29 2009, 02:46 PM |

My wife just drove up to her sister's for a few days, she averaged 16mpg. Not bad for being on I-5 were everybody is doing 80+, than it was stop and go on the way home. I think the MPG will go up with a c-back, CAI, ditch the TB coolant line, and tune it with EFIlive. Im still researching the suspension options, im looking at the Pedders or McGaughy's 2/3 drop or just a rear leveling kit. The 5th gen is my buddys car, and he hasn't let me drive it yet (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It is a cool looking car, but it looks funny with the really small tires on it. The interior has this really cool looking blue in color "piping" thats comes across the door. Stupid fast car in a straight line though, and solid at 120mph. Yeah they do have a nice view.... unit you have to look at it for days on end. And its about to get really nasty weather wise. |
