Hello,
I'm looking to buy a Tahoe. I've been scrolling this site for a week or so and the web trying to learn whats what and the Tahoe/Yukon differences so I make an educated decision. My mission is to have a hunting rig (for a big guy) to haul my trailer and get around the woods capable of some 4 Wheeling and be a daily. So far I'm leaning towards the 04-06 for the higher TQ engine. The Z71 pkg for the limited slip and lower gears. What I haven't read to be clear is if the transfer case is the same or also has lower gears than a non Z71? Is the lower axle gear ratio available on non Z71 and what model? I have been shopping for weeks and the market for a low mile one is slim pickings and be ready to drop what your doing and go look at it or its gone. Lastly, I have seen a lot of lifted ones on 35" tires. Is the gearing still there to 4 wheel and tow? Any other recommendations or advise to look for as a first time Tahoe buyer?
PS...I'm in Puyallup WA if you know of anything available!
