I am new to Tahoes.I am coming from a Trailblazer that I drove for 10 yrs and had many problems with.Everything from rust and bad paint to brakes and ABS.
I hope this 2012 Tahoe LT is a better machine.I bought it a couple months ago with 98000 mi (my 05 TB only had 80000) So far I have added trailer brake controller,new tires and front brakes.
It came with HD towing package but no brake controller.It has trans cooler and 3.42 gear ratio.
I am going to post a few questions in the forums to get me lined out on things
Thanks for excepting me in this forum

Welcome to the forum Brad and post up some photos of yours when you can. Yes, not many came with the JL1 even though they were equipped for towing. Do you know about the two wires under the hood that you can optionally connect for the TBC and sending power back to the trailer's battery and electrical system?

What is a safe trans temp when pulling? Mine going through the hills got up to 212f most of the time in flat it only gets to 195f
