Per my RPO sticker, my Tahoe(11) was never badged.

How does one determine what the trim level is? RPO code?

Ok, mine has the YE9 RPO.

I wonder if the 'pleather' rear seats and cloth front seats have anything to do with it??

Roger roger. Thanks for the help!

All of the PPV/SSVs are the "LS" base models. As for badging and nameplates (GM, Tahoe, Chevrolet, flex fuel etc...) all that trim and the body side moldings, they are left off from the factory in Arlington TX so that we can apply decals, markings, lighting etc...where ever we want. Roof racks and the Onstar ant. are also deleted. The 15 and up Police Tahoe only have the grill Bowtie for any brand ID. The liftgate has zero badging. We used to add the body side molding trim and badging and maybe a roof rack to some of our unmarked units so they would look like the civilian units in undercover work. A Police Package Tahoe is easy to spot when you know what to look for... especially in the 07-14 model years. The PPV RWD always had black wheels with chrome metal canter caps and the SSV 4x4 silver painted wheels and silver painted center caps. Our late 1990's Police Tahoe were 10 mph or so faster that the Crown Vic and the brakes and wheels (copied from the SS 454 pick-up) would get so hot that we melted the chrome plastic center caps. Chevy then gave us the metal chrome caps when we complained. A "Street appearance package" option on some police models can also make them look like and "civie" soccer mom Tahoe.

To make it more fun I just nonchalantly roll down the back windows so the prisoner bars show.
You still have bars in the back? LOL Figure insurance company would want them take out for safety purposes. Or they just don't know?

I don't have a PPV but I am thankful they put steel wheels on them. I'm tough on wheels in my work trucks so I replace the alloy wheels with the PPV wheels. Right now i'm working on getting the full set of 20's off the 2021 tahoe.
