Hey Folks,
I apologize in advance that I am starting another thread on this topic, but I'm trying to figure this out. My last Tahoe was a 2004 Z71, so I've been away form the forums for a while. My only issue with that was the old "clunk". Upon my return I saw all of these threads about the vibration and wind-buffeting. Wow. I realize that this stuff occurs in a small number of cases, but it's enough that it has my attention.
The 2016 Z71 that I am looking at has the 18" wheels (obviously) and it does have the sunroof. I am planning on taking it out to the highway and spending some time at cruising speeds. But are there any tell-tale signs that a vehicle is going to have this buffetting/vibration problem? Would I be able to recognize it during a 60 minute test drive? Does the addition of the sunroof add to the problem? If I have the thing out on the highway will these things appear to me in obvious ways? Or is it something that develops over time?
Just trying to do a reality check on this, so I am dialed in with my head on a swivel during the test drive and not getting distracted by the sales guy talking about the Superbowl.
Regards,
John
