Howdy Basics here from the PNW.
The last Chevy I owned was in 1991. A new Astro van. A computer Hughes electronics lemon for sure. Well fast forward, I needed a five passenger full size 4 wheel drive. And in these years imo I would not touch a Ford Expedition for 5.4 issues and the Dodge Durango because it had some serious driving blind spots. So with an open mind I decided for me it would be a Tahoe or Yukon. I took my time. And read as much as I could here as well. I started for preferably 09-10 and ran across this unique 2008. Which had the basics plus the options I was looking for. I love the rubber flooring where I will be going. It also has 10 ply Ironman ALL Country tires, cheaper tires for sure but rugged for traveling in big rocked roads

Clean! Looks like a PPV/SSV that didn't do much service at all. Nice that someone hooked it up with leather fronts and console.

Thanks, Actually factory ordered among other important things according to the RPO codes. stated leather seats and console. I’m thinking of posting my RPO codes in the PPV/SSV section? Does that make more sense for people looking for something like this type of Tahoe? But it does not have any code reading SSV or PPV. But it was ordered by the feds. Typical off grid specs. GM GPS delete, GT5, G80, NZZ and so on.

Well that's pretty darned cool. Obviously a unique bird. Post up the RPO codes so we can see what all this beast has going on.

I stand corrected sir, you were right it was a front console (Delete). Also possibly not leather unless somewhere on the option sales list. Will post tomorrow all codes on the PPV/SSV forum. Thanks again

Fronts definitely look like leather and the rears look like vinyl or super clean/like-new original leather.

Wow, how do i say this? Thanksgiving morning a driver texting runs through a red light and goes into my green lighted intersection at 40 mph. Totaled my Tahoe above, really bummed out.
Let's just say I'm glad no one was hurt. Now moving forward just picked up another Tahoe. U.S. Canadian Border Patrol rig, see below.
