GM continues to black out every model and the new 2018 Chevy Tahoe Custom Midnight looks great to our eyes. “The introduction of the Tahoe Custom last year was well-received by our customers who were looking for the capability of a full-size SUV with the added utility of increased rear cargo space,” said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. “The Tahoe Custom Midnight takes the capability and value of the Custom trim and adds rugged, all-black features found on our popular Midnight Editions."

 

The $45,995 2018 Chevy Tahoe Custom Midnight is based on the LS trim and has the following features and appearance changes:

All-black Midnight appearance

18-inch painted black wheels with aggressive Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires

Black grille

Off-road assist steps

Black bowtie emblems.

Third-row seat deleted for additional utility, increasing cargo space behind the second row to 54 cubic feet

355-hp, 5.3L V-8 engine

6,600 pounds of towing capacity

 

How do you like the look? Would you prefer the third-row seat or the extra cargo area?

Are they even selling the regular Custom yet? You can't build one online nor do I see any listings.

 

 

But to stay on topic, I don't like black wheels on trucks and I'd welcome the 3rd row delete. The 3rd row makes the cargo floor several inches higher. 

 

 

 

Edit, nevermind. Custom is just an option package, not a trim. And it's still expensive as hell. $50k for a no-option 4WD. Full size SUV prices are nuts.

i considered the tahoe because i have two kids and two dogs.  i decided to go with a crew 2500hd gasser instead.  put a cap on the back for the dogs.  costs less than a tahoe by a good bit and it is a heck of a lot heavier duty.

Wasted money. It’s a black Tahoe. Nothing earth shattering here. And yup... STILL too pricey per usual for a Tahoe.

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
