Whatever model u purchase get extended warehouse- defective paint job just cost me $3000+ on my 2021 Tahoe- paint body shop noticed on Roof- paint was peeling BaD- the ECOAT separated from metal- since over 36k mikes GM offered no assistance! Their “warranty” only covers HOLES in metal for 60 months! Terrible!! My last GM! Body shop said they see defective paint on MOST 2021 and newer Tahoe/Suburban etc. GM replied my body shop caused- I have 2 GM dealer estimates that confirm this was defective ORIGINAL factory paint!!

What color is your Tahoe? Same thing happened to my black 2015 Tahoe and my dad's black 2016 Tahoe. GM offered virtually no assistance so I went to Ford for a couple years, now I'm back in a white (pearl) Tahoe. The white paint seems to be holding up well.

My 2021 Tahoe is dark Blue- Will be posting pictures of the SIGNIFICANT paint defects I had to have repaired...It is a SHAME that GM OFFERED TO DO NOTHING! as car was just past 3 yr warranty---$50K miles.....
