Beautiful!
It is beautiful......can you please post some pics of the engine bay and interior.
Yes I will this afternoon, daughter has dance recitals today.
A little background.
We had ordered a 2023 LT with the same options end of July 2023 but never got an allocation, March of 2024 the dealer got a single allocation for an RST and they were able to equip with the exact same options we had on the LT so we jumped on it. Wasn’t thrilled about the price increase over the LT ($2,500) but the adaptive cruise control is nice (have it in my work vehicle) and we figured if we had to wait another 6-8 months for an LT we might have ended up at the same price anyway if GM did additional price increases. Got an almost $4k GM supplier discount through work so the OTD price was very reasonable.

Enjoy the road trip! The more time you spend in it the more you get addicted to the space and quiet ride. If I remember right you were coming from a Honda Pilot. We also had a Honda Pilot (2014) with five kids and could not imagine going back.

Good looking machine and a smart buy with the diesel powertrain. The higher price will pay off in long term reliability.
This thing is amazing. You’d think the Duramax was a slouch from reviews but it will put you back in the seats no problem, transmission and engine are very smooth, love it, it’s an absolute pleasure to drive. The trip was only 90 miles, speed limits bounced between 55 mph and 65 mph, filled up before and after to hand calculate mileage.
Computer said 28.3 mpg
Hand calculated was 27.56 mpg
Damn good for an SUV this size and it’s not even broke in yet.

It’s not even much of a price increase, less than $1,000 to go from 5.3 to Duramax when building.
Looks great. Is the outfit in the back for you for your daughter
Just a little humor.She is going to enjoy that Tahoe as much as you are. You can fit a lot of her friends in there with her!
Your vehicle is similar to mine. Here's what I did on the first couple of days of ownership. Engine auto stop-start, permanently disabled. Daytime Running Lights, permanently disabled (dealer did this in 5 minutes). Automatic door locking disabled. Removed all things Google to the maximum extent practical. Software update so engine will not shut off after 20 minutes of idling. Software update so vehicle can stay in accessory mode for longer than 20 minutes. Great for drive-in movies. Once you De-Detroit the vehicle, they're very nice.
Unlikely you can ever get 200,000 miles on a modern GM engine.
Thank you for the tips.
