My journey so far with the new body style Tahoe

[edelbrock231]

We got a 15 Tahoe for same reasons and it was the dealer loaner car. 3050 on clock when we bought it. Lt but with heated leather and bose and navi. The cool one with the sliding display gun pocket. Put hids and leds. Gonna level next month... wife loves it will never even look at anything else got pics of your old 15 leveled?

The picture I posted was right after I got it leveled. I'll see if I have a picture of it with the bfgs

Only complaint on the LT, it does not come with HID headlights not even as an option. Only the LTZ(premier) which I can't believe GM does this. Other wise the LT is a very nice package. Enjoy.

That really is the only insulting part of the LT package, otherwise IMO it's a much better equipment/price value than the LTZ.

I did an easy 10-minute swap to high performance halogen bulbs in mine, which gave substantial improvement for the $40 I spent. When they burn out, I plan to use one of the LED kits people have reported on here. Retrofitting the actual HID setup seems like a little more cost and effort than it may be worth. IMO.

Kind of funny coming here and seeing this. Tundra guys complain about headlights too. I could see fine with those, and the ones in the Tahoe are better than they were. Seems no matter what they put in, if it's not the best of the best, there will be complaints.

They may seem fine and they are adequate, that is until you drive something with factory hid/led. I feel like I'm driving without lights compared to our 5yr old jeep.

I think GM might be the only company with $50k+ vehicles without factory HID or LED headlights.

That and I wished they had the same DRL.... That bothers me to no end lol.

They're also not the same color. The LT ones are yellow and dim, while the DRLs on the Premier are bright blue LED.

Has anyone seen the tests done by IIHS? They found the halogen projectors to be less than adequate, while the HID headlights were indeed impressive.

Congrats on the newer Tahoe. I hope it brings your fam many happy miles

Nice ride man. I bought a '16 this last October. Hopefully I won't have the issues you had with your '15. What was the build date on that '15 if you recall??

Also, am I the only one who digs the 18" wheels over the 20" & 22"? I'm just not a big fan of big wheels. I also believe the 18" wheels provide a better ride with the taller profile from the tire to rim..

I have had several friends with LTZ's and Denali's and they had nothing but issues galore with all the extra features and ******** GM puts on them. I decided I didn't want all the features as I never used them or turned them off on previous vehicles.

From a creature comfort and dollar standpoint, I am very happy with my LS Suburban. It is far nicer than my prior 08 1LT Suburban and has more equipment on it than the 08 (with the exception of the OEM RSE system).

Our primary use for the Suburban is to haul kid's stuff back and forth to College, take trips and do landfill runs (nothing messy). Before we purchased our Suburban in 16, we were renting a 15 LTZ from Enterprise to take our kid back and forth to school each semester since we had gotten rid of the 08. While the LTZ was very nice (and no buffeting), I cannot believe that the cost difference between a base LS and a fully decked out LTZ or Denali is almost the price of an base LS.


I think I will take that cost difference and help child units 2 and 3 with car purchases when they are close to graduating college (loss leaders here I come).

I really do not think the DRL's are yellow and dim on the LT..They seem perfect to me..I can see them bright and very clearly on every vehicle I stop behind..When I pass other Tahoes on the highway the DRL's are bright enough on the LT.

I think people out there on the highway notice the DRL's more on the LT then on the Premier even though the DRL's look nicer on the Premier..Just IMHO.

We definitely need some comparison pics or a side by side because I 100% disagree. You can hardly see the LT drls and they're yellow. But that's just what I think apparently lol

For spending THAT kinda money you should HAVE the best of the best!
