New ride purchased!!! Update here: http://tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=415969#post415969


-----------------------------------

So in a month or two I'l be getting a new (to me) truck ...

These are the choices, all of them 10 or 11 model year:

1. Tahoe LTZ 4x4. Least expensive but let the mods begin.

2. Yukon Denali AWD. Slightly m0ar but less mods.

3. Escalade Premium. This will have to have slightly higher miles and may even be an 09 but few to no mods.

4. Range Rover Sport Supercharged.

All of these come to around $50k give or take a grand. I love the RR but it's a bit of a trust fund habibi vehicle here in DC ... but 500hp is 500hp. The major down side of the RR is hat I won't be getting to have as much fun here on TYF, which surprisingly enough, bothers me quite a bit.

The other GM trucks you know well ... I'm actually not that fond of the Esky front end, not crazy about the Denali headlights either. I absolutely love the Tahoe but it's the 5.3.

The perfect ride for me would be a rare 09 LTZ 6.2 with less than 25k miles ... if I spot one I'd buy it yesterday. But since that seems unlikely, please vote and help me make a decision.

Cheers! :)

Supercharged Tahoe-clipped Denali.

Those Range Rovers are epic fail.

I like the looks of the RR, but that's where it ends. They're quirky, the quality should be better for the price, the ergonomics aren't intuitive... The Escalade would be my choice.

Esky in my book. My wife keeps bugging me to get a Range Rover for her next car but just not to sure about them. For the price they have a lot of issues from what I heard. Or Get a Tahoe with Esky back and supercharge!!

Denali so that you can get a lower mileage compared to esky and I think denali's look better than esky IMO

There's an idea ... buy a Denali and swap hood and bumpers to a Tahoe's. and tails/applique/3rd to that of the esky. And voila ... a 6.2 Tahoe with the right tails.
