Been having issues fighting the Dealership to get our 2015 Tahoe AC Condenser fixed under the Extended Warranty GM offered. They wanted $175 to troubleshoot the leak. They couldn't immediately see obvious leakage. I could repair the problem for less money. And it's a matter of principle, a 3yr old rig shouldn't have a failed AC already at 42,000 miles. So I tried another Dealership. Got to looking around...they had a 2017 Suburban LT for a great price...oops

So now I own a 2017 'Burb LT, and the 2015 Tahoe LS is gone. Was a great rig (mostly), but was frankly getting to small for our family of 6. Here is a pic of the Tahoe from last road trip. Was cramped lol

Love the new ride. 2,000 miles less, and the LT options are flippin' nice. Matches my Challenger nicely as well

Sadly while I was having the Dealership swap my tires/rims off the Tahoe, a little old lady rear-ended the Suburban. No real damage, but she broke my Vader. How does someone miss something that big?

The 265/75R18 Load E General Grabber AT2 tires look small on the Suburban. On the Tahoe they filled the wheel wells nicely. Probably going to do a front level for now, and when the tires need replacement I'll actually do a full lift and 35's

If you and your wife keep adding to your quiver as my friend and his wife are, the Suburban will seem too small soon; he replaced his with a Nissan NV. Enjoy the new truck, looks great!

How do you like the challenger thinking of a charger myself
Mine "only" has 375 hp...yeah right. Scariest, fun, slow car I've ever owned. Won't win races, but will smoke them into 3rd, and then cruise across country in comfort. While seating 5
Love it

Anyone put tow mirrors on these? I traded my V-10 Excursion in as well. Wife is receptive to me taking the Burb on a more offroad look. The Esky mirrors look nice. But are stupid expensive for only a bit more mirror.

That’s funny you mention that, I have neighbors that did the same exact thing.

OP, very nice upgrade!
