What is the normal life span on a 2007-2012 Tahoe? I am debating between a nicely loaded 08' with 70k miles on it or a LS model 2012 with after market leather upgrade. We have an 01' that has 148k miles on it and it runs very strong. Are the new platforms just as strong, and have good life expectancy with the powertrains? I had heard the LS1 based truck motors have seen 200k miles pretty regularly and wondered what can be expected from the newer platforms?

I don't foresee them making it pass December 21st. -

The Suburban platflorm is Chevy's bread and butter.
We had a 2002, bought it new, sold it in 2011, no major problems, just didn't need a large SUV anymore. The LS engine design is bullet proof as long as it's maintained.
I work for a City and we have several of the new body Tahoes as police vehicles. The cops say they're better than the Crown Vics, no major problems, other than the police shit they add to them.sigpic

The 4x4's had transfer case issues but other than that they are solid platforms."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Possibly. I'm having head gasket trouble. Never hurts to have a back up either. And I can buy 5-6 backups for the price of a new one.Originally posted by mstng86 View Post
As many miles as I drive, it just doesn't make sense to buy new. ANY vehicle has almost no value after 2 years with the miles I drive.Originally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

My mom has an 08 Yukon with 85k or so on it and has had minimal issues, I think it might have had one or two nit picky issues fixed under warranty. We have several 07-08 gas engine chevy trucks at work with the 6.0 with 150-210k hard miles and no major engine or tranny problems so I wouldn't hesitate on running a tahoe that far.Comment

Yea, it sounds like you drive way too much to even bother with a new car.Originally posted by bcoop View Post

I have an 08 Tahoe Z71 model with about 55k miles....I've had a problems starting it sometimes...but I was told its a problem with the fuel pump and fuel preassure, it averages about 15mpg on highway but maybe because of the big wheels that are on it....other than that just be ready to be replacing rear license plate lights every 6 months. for some reason mine dont last that long!Originally posted by Da PrezOriginally posted by VETTKLR
