Very nice pic.. 
love the new GM full size SUVs. My only gripe with the Z71 Tahoe is why not give AT tires as an upgrade option as well.

I completely agree! We had a 17’ Z71 that came with the Duratracs at least. My wife’s first reaction was that she wanted KO2’s ASAP. LOL

Suburban or Tahoe? We just picked up a black suburban z71 for the wife. White is my favorite color on the z71 Tahoe/suburban. The best looking SUV on the road in my opinion (besides the Escalade). I don’t have a picture of ours together but I will.

Very nice! Her’s is a Tahoe. Such a smooth ride. Looking forward to a road trip soon.

Not a better look than the white Tahoe. I am definitely enjoying it and look forward to road trips in it. That’s the main reason we got it. Do you have the air ride?

We do. Air ride and magnetic ride control. Drives like a caddy.

Nice.

My wife has an 18 Traverse High Country that see loves. I like my new diesel High Country.

My wife has a 17 Traverse. I have a 20 Trail Boss. Both are dark blue. We don't plan on getting cars in the same color. It just happens, like when we unintentional wear the same color shirts and pants/shorts. She more partial to dark red, but didn't like it on the 17 Traverse. I prefer dark grey, but GM's greys weren't dark enough on the trucks for me to get. That's how we both ended up with blue.

Nice rides, both of them.

I am seeing the new SUV's EVERYWHERE on the road now.  I bet the dealers cannot keep them on the lots and the salespeople are loving it.

I wanted to get my wife one...she currently drives a Buick Enclave Avenir...no dice.

Although she likes driving my truck, go figure.

After today, I think I'll replace my wife's Traverse with a Spark, and my truck with a diesel Suburban. I love my truck, and she loves her SUV, but she doesn't travel well when she has to drive. If I do all the driving it's a different story.

 

I'm not completely serious. Just a bit frustrated with her.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
