Help Deciding on Next Ride ...Update: Bought!

6.2L Tahoe FTW!!

Derek, I just don't really like the pointy angular front end of the esky, and the lower part sticks out almost as much as that of the hybrid, and although I like chrome, chrome window sills don't really do it for me.

So unless I go down the RR route, it's going to be between the Tahoe who's look I love, and the Denali who's engine I love.

Sounds logical. I thought in the newer Tahoes you could get 6.2's? I will vote Denali.

 

[THE YETI]

Does that warranty cover the drivetrain, too?

No idea. Considering they put them on the old Joe Gibbs vehicles, I'd say yes. Just gotta keep the stock tune that they come with.

09 only. In 2010 they canceled and went back to 5.3L but kept the 6 speed transmission.

Haha weirdos

 

[OHSIXX]

I say Denali and get some G5's, appliques, and you'd be off to a good start.....

 

[ranorris2]

I say LTZ and tons of modding...but thats me, when there is no more modding I can do to my vehicles, I get tired of them quickly and start looking for my next purchase...

Can this go on the Denai 6.2? http://store.gmperformanceparts.com...=LS9 Supercharger Kit&model=<!-- 19244103 -->

I would say RR off the top, but I too have heard that they are maintenance nightmares. I picked up my hyhoe from a jag/range rover dealership and the sales guys mentioned the new 2011 (at the time) RRSC had all the bugs worked out and they are trouble free...However, from what I know of your Serge, you like to be different. Ranges are a dime a dozen on the east coast. I am originally from MD and they are as common as civics. Thats not to say that Tahoes, Denali's, and Eskys are not... But a blown tahoe, denali, or Esky is pure hotness..

With that being said, my vote goes to the Esky. Tahoe's interiors are too sub par to me and I dig the front end of the Esky the most. Check out D3 Research & Design, they tune caddys and I believe they are authorized through GM so your warranty would not be voided. Nothing sicker than a supercharged or turbo'ed SUV!

THe sound of this thing is so menacing!

How could you not want this murdered out platinum front clip? I'm doing this in the future:

or just the plain one is sick

or an esky truck :0

 

[soulsea]

Did you ever find out if those platinum led headlights are PnP on your truck?

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Tahoe or nali!!!! Because RRs come with projectors

 

[felixgun]

I'm a member of a cadillac forum and it's been highly discussed among nnbs esky owners and a lot of people have done it and it's not pure plug and play. BUT it's not impossible. It's not nearly as much work as what you did for your retrofit projectors though so I know you can do it

 

[soulsea]

Cool, then I can swap them sides and flip 'em horizontal for a perfect fit in a Tahoe.

 

[Gzes]

i drift range rovers lol. ( on xbox ) but yea i like em and they are sexy. i was gonna get a discovery a while back but all of them in dallas are in ****** condition so i said **** no and got a trailblazer

that exact one? Would it work? Sure, would it have to be modified to work, yes.

Kiss the warranty good bye anyhow Serge, ur gonna mod the hell out of this thing.

 

[StevenFromTexas]

I vote the Tahoe LTZ and then fix it, uh, mod it.

I'm going to come out and finally say what I think of the Escalade: it looks like a pimpmobile to me. Gosh, I feel better already.

 

[09tahoehybrid]

My vote would be for an Esky or keep a sharp eye out for a 6.2 Tahoe.

The Range Rover Sport is NOT really a true range rover in my eyes. Its based of the the discovery/LR3 platform and in my opinion the proportions are off.
If you get a Land Rover, get the real one...none of this "sport" nonsense.

LOL yea Steve it's made for 50 and under. They made it so anyone above that age thinks that
