I have a serious problem!

Sell them all and get a new Tahoe! If you haven’t driven a new one at least give it a try! The handling, performance and smooth quiet ride will be quite a difference from what you have - or maybe not. Either way it’s worth a test run!

New one hasn't inspired us with confidence. It was back in the dealership less than a month after purchase because the cameras quit working. They had to replace the video processing module! Also, fuel economy is notably worse vs. our 2018.

Road test, yes. Buy, NO. They have gone way past being worth what they sell for now.

Yes this is true but can be said about everything. Everything has gotten so expensive that $50k can’t buy most new trucks and I used to think that $50k was a lot of money. My first house I bought was new and it was $65k. Prices are ridiculous but that’s everything!

I have worked hard and have been especially lucky so I am in a good position financially. These new trucks would not even be on my radar 10 years ago, but at 70 years old I have different concerns lol!
It’s stupid money for most to spend and I highly recommend that anyone young never finance anything that depreciates! I never did and always bought trucks and vans I could afford cash, that said I never had high end vehicles. But now if you have the money these new trucks are amazing. Stupid money but at my age with no debt and enough cash to buy without a loan, I am happy with the new Tahoe. Performance is great and the ride is so quiet and smooth. 0-60 in under 8 seconds and 420hp with luxury interior and still gets 25 mpg on highway if you’re doing 60 on cruise, besides the price this was not possible 10 years ago.

GM was my choice but all the new trucks are so much better than 10 years ago, safety, economy and handling. Yes they are expensive but if you can afford it then it’s worth it!

As much as I like the '05 I have decided to list it for sale.

2005 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4x4 185,*** miles 2nd owner. Very well taken care of. Price is firm. English only.

houston.craigslist.org

That is a really clean Tahoe.

And did you also list on Facebook Marketplace ? I find it gets more views. Craigslist has not been the place to look for vehicles since 2020.

At 71, I still turn wrenches on the side for two reasons. I like doing it and want to stay active doing what I like. Plus, supplements.

I am only a thousandaire.

I was recently looking for a Silverado, 2000-2006. I want to see a page of 2000 to 2006 Silverado's. On FB Marketplace, there is so many sub divisions, I was having to look thru 6 different sections. Eff that.

I don't use Facebook unfortunately. I've noticed craigslist is full of scammers. Sad really

Hmm.. I just go to Marketplace in the Facebook app and search for what I want. Haven't had problems buying or selling....

Yes that is why I quit Craigslist. Too many scammers.

If you want to try the better reach of FB, you can have someone post on FB, and forward enquiries to your craigslist ad. (Happy to help as needed.)

I have three kids also, well built, but some could use a firmware upgrade.

Kids needs upgrade?

Will not rule out owning a newer Tahoe especially w/ diesel; but they will pry the keys of the GMT800 out of my cold dead hands…

Any mods willing to help me list it here in the classifieds section?

Yes, that's why I was asking for mod help. No stress.

You are an inspiration! 70 is a milestone in the aging process and great to hear about people who have some passion and enthusiasm. So easy to just say ok Im 70 so I should stop doing challenging stuff and sit on my ass! I would rather take my vehicle to seasoned pro who has seen a lot.

Like your style bro!

I am still very active and because I pick and choose what I want to do, I am not under a gun to finish by a certain time. I work at my own speed and dictate the parts used. I do as much as I can on my girl's 2 trucks, 1990 K2500 xcab 130k miles Silverado and her 2002 74k miles TrailBlazer and my own 2005 166k miles Z71 Tahoe. The other vehicles I work on are in the neighborhood and at my American Legion and VFW.

When working, I take breaks as needed or wanted. Keeps me sharp and I really don't wake up stiff or limp around. I see ads all over for experienced techs but I am not gonna have some guy/girl on my back. If I don't want to work, any day, I don't.
