I’m not a Tahoe fan but the thought of an L9H sourced in 2WD in a vehicle that size running on e85 sounds like a lotta fun. Something like a Tahoe grafted onto a Vette special ordered as a Supv pursuit vehicle.

Wasn’t the 4wd Ltz Tahoe’s only available with a 5.3? Only available in the 2wd. Or did it change that year?

There are lots of 5.3 LTZ Tahoes, but less than 700 (that we've seen) with the 6.2 in both 4x4 and RWD, all that we have seen are LTZs. In 2008 there were less than 140 6.2 LTZ Tahoes built and all of them are RWD.

I may finally depart with my ‘09 Tahoe. Bought the wife a Subaru and now it’s my DD. However, I drive it maybe 50 miles a month and it sits in a garage.

it is 2wd, with the L9H. About 115k miles. Two owner. Bought from a GM Exec.

Color is greystone? Black buckets. All the options except fold down steps.

very nice rig to go to someone with the right offer. Couldn’t bring myself to trade it in because the Subaru dealer had no idea what they were looking at.

I’ll post pics and details by Friday.

You're better off selling it to someone for the right price 10/10 times rather than trading it in unless they offered you a good deal for something they really wanna get off the lot.

When I was shopping for my Tahoe, I had come across a ruby red with chrome trim LTZ 6.2 at a used car place. Was pretty clean but had no idea what I was looking at and didn't look further into it. My black LTZ was too good a deal in my mind and now I see the error in my ways. lol

You're really better off looking for a Yukon Denali or Escalade. You open up more years to pick from (you can look at 07-09 if you don't want AFM or 07-14 if you don't care about it having AFM) and all of them have the 6.2L and most were AWD. If you really want the 6.2L Tahoe that bad, be prepared to wait for years for the right one especially if you want particular color(s) and care what kind of condition it is in.

Seems odd that it’s got black mirrors and not color matched or chrome.

I spent several months looking for my 09 4x4 6.2l and got lucky that i found the one I did just down in Portland in October. I would’ve preferred a darker color but I champagne isn’t as bad as I thought though.


My mirrors aren't chrome either. But thats because I painted mine, as I believe the same thing happened with the one I posted. Look at the tailpipe in the picture, it goes straight out the back, and in the vin code the 8th digit says 2 which is a L9H

Not everyone likes the looks of a Denali or Escalade though. Also not everyone will want to have their 6.2 attached to the Borg Warner AWD T-Case, especially if they want to go off roading. Escalade's nor Denali's come with a 2 speed transfer case like the Tahoe does. A 6.2 Tahoe also has a heavier duty rear differential than the AWD Escalade and Denali. I say if you want a 6.2 Tahoe, don't give up and get one when one pops up. It has almost all of the features of a Denali, has a better T-case, and costs less. I love mine and it's an awesome sleeper.

Thanks Kev! Fortunately, they said it needed $5K in repairs and they sent it to auction and would not sell it to anybody. I say fortunately, because we have since found two more much nicer ones and are hemming and hawing between the two.
Nicer is always nice...

If anyone needs something checked out in Houston area, Just let me know.
