$ 60k+ Tahoe?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just saw a new 2010 Tahoe LTZ 4X4 on eBay, all options, MSRP of $ 60,400!!!!!!!! Holy smoke!!!!!!!! Has GM gone crazy? This thing did not even have the 6.2 V8, only the 5.3 engine.

 

An equivalent 1500 Suburban LTZ 4X4 must be even higher priced.

You can't even get the 6.2 in a Tahoe/Burban.... 4.8 or 5.3 are the only choices (might even be just 5.3 now).

 

As for the price hike, $60K really is a bit ridiculous. If it were one of the hybrids I'd understand a bit more but damn....

I thought 6.2L was a dealer option.

 

From what I understand, the dealer can install any crate engine you want into a vehicle and cover it under warranty so long as it fits without modification.... but I just meant that you can't order a Tahoe from the factory with the 6.2L in it.

What's odd is that I'm almost certain the 6.2l was an option on 2009 Tahoes but I don't see it as an option on the 2010s. Maybe this is our first taste of the increased CAFE requirements.

Truck Trend did a 'tour' drive the issue before last in which they visited some ski resort in Minnesota. They were in a 2009 or 2010 Tahoe LTZ with the 6.2 and had rave reviews of the engine.

haven't looked but i would assume that a caddy ext has to be approaching the 100K mark then???

 

Sorry meant the ESV, looked on caddy's website 88,000 for the esv and 84,000 for the standard!!!!

Scary, considering I bought my '06 Z71 Tahoe NEW for low $30s (loaded with every option except NAV and 4WD). Even came with a full-time V8!

I've been looking for a new vehicle for the other half. Looks like Yukon Denali can have the 6.2L but not for the Tahoe or Yukon. Either way. I am not going to be purchasing a AFM.... SOOO, look out Ford Dealer here I come to buy a 8 shot plug shooter... Fully Loaded Expedition EL's are like 50k msrp...... Where's the other 10k at for the Tahoe and Yukon, plus no lifter problems, and plus no 1qt every 3k habit most afms have???

 

Go ahead and flame me about the Ford...... I am still driven my GMC AND LOVING IT....

Where exactly are you getting this information from? The loudmouths on this forum who have blown the problem WAY out of proportion and brainwashed countless dozens with their propagandist whining?

 

If "MOST" Gen-IV 5.3L and 6.0L engines had that problem, GM wouldn't be selling the number of these trucks as they do, and you'd be hearing about it more in the mainstream media.

 

I've had three "AFM" equipped engines, and not one of them has used a single drop of oil. EVER.

I had two AFM motors and still have the one of the two and not one of those burned a drop of oil eather.

    • He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
