I called him today not realizing I knew him but ended up passing on it. Damn. I was really looking forward to bringing it home today.

OK, there is a Lot left un-said there. If you passed, there is a good reason that others may be interested in knowing.

I sure miss that Tahoe. The 2024 can’t stand in the shadow of the 2019. I’m already getting rid of it. |

We love the Tahoe but a little surprised on the poor fuel economy. My big diesel bests it by at least 5 gals on the highway. Other than that, it has been a fantastic truck and we love it as do our dogs who rode to the shop with me today. Unfortunately I hit a small deer Monday night on the way to my Fire Department training meeting. Killed the deer but the only damage to the front end was cracked paint. $1172 later and it will be as good as new but not till December 28th. LOL Missed a 12 point buck 2 months ago that ran directly at me at a 45* angle. I swore he left fur on the right front corner but I could not find any. That one WOULD have hurt the truck!

I recall getting 20-21 on the highway according to the computer. I never verified it. It has the optional 3.42 gear in place of the standard 3.08 which hurts it a little. The 2024 gets 12mpg around town even with the 10-speed trans. Never gotten better than 17 on the highway. Really disappointed in what GM is putting out nowadays. |

By what I could determine from the pics, I think the paint is pretty tough. That added to the black out job on the bottom of the car. I think the car would be a bit disappointing, once you are right in front of it. It looks like it could be a good car to start with, but the price point needs to be adjusted. Just my .02
