    2025 Z71 Questions

    I just got the 5.3 in Cypress Gray last week in case you want a pic not from a marketing brochure - We like the color a lot. Also added on the GM performance catback exhaust to get the full V8 experience :) - strong recommend as who knows how long we'll still be able to get a good old fashioned...

    New purchase 2025 tahoe - warranty question

    Has anyone bought a warranty from Roadvantage? My dealer is offering a 10 yr 150K mile warranty that they claim is better than the GM bumper to bumper platinum warranty for approximately 4200 (coveres everything but what's noted below0 - trying to gauge feedback on that company as well as...

    2025 Diesel orders opened

    My dealer did not have a Z71 allocation but did have a suburban (not z71, rst or Lt) with sunroof allocation. They put my z71 in as first choice and something else they wanted with zero constraints on it in second place and they got the z71 accepted. Then i had the option to add/adjust anything...

    In case it's helpful, my dealer told me that at least this week, the constraint now is on Z71, RST, LT trims, not the diesel. I ended up going with 5.3 V8 for a variety of reasons which i described above and because the diesel i went to test drive before making my final decision had the check...

    Also, to support my estimates on fuel mileage, here's what i found on Fuelly.com for the LM2 which shows about a 7.5 MPG spread on average - while some do seem to get 31 it seems like the mean is around 24-25 combined. Here is the same data on the 5.3

    I like the look of the Yukon better but had similar issues with the options - didn’t want power folding running boards in Wisconsin or rear media system which was required w diesel if u wanted a sunroof.

    Not arguing with that - my estimates don’t assume diy oil changes. Agree longer range would’ve been nice! Either way the question about how to most cost effectively operate a 75-110k SUV is a fun first world problem to work through with you guys!

    In case it's helpful to anyone on the fence, I attached my pros and cons along with the cost analysis. In my case with the Z71 4x4 assuming current fuel prices in southern Wisconsin, the gasser will cost me an estimated 2K more over 125K miles. The 5.3 has been around a long time and every...

    I did the math on fuel cost and after you adjust for relative cost of diesel, higher cost for oil changes (2qts more), def, and fuel filters, extra cost of diesel engine and bucket seats I don’t really want and I came out with maybe only saving 1-2k over 125k miles. Also, my trade in will need...

    It’s only been a month of production so far so I’m hopeful they’ll start making these eventually - not willing to cough up another 10-20k to be stuck with those darn tv screens and power telescoping running boards. If only they offered all the colors on the LT…

    Did you hear this from your dealer? I too am waiting on a 3.0 z71 from a smaller dealer.
