    Past Contemplation, Bought a Full Size Expo rig. GMT400 Tahoe - ideas welcome

    Having a lot of seat time in the new 2015s, I can't really imagine what you guys are complaining about. Functionally, they are better than ever. At least, better than a 2013

    Suburban gearing question

    The gearing only makes a difference in terms of the amount of work that can be done... it's mechanical leverage. But that's also a function of engine speed and road speed, hence the effective gearing. In other words, a 4.10 gear is accomplishing the same exact work (and rpm) at 55 mph in third...

    Suburban gearing question

    You have all of the RPO (Regular Production Option) codes listed in the glovebox. The ones you're interested in would be 'Z82' towing package, 'G80' locking rear, and 'GT4' for 3.73 or 'GT5' for 4.10 There were no bigger brakes included with the Z82 towing package. All Suburbans have...

    You like the payload rating of the DRW, but understand that it wouldn't have that payload rating as a SRW

    2015 Chevrolet Colorado is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year

    I didn't realize that Nissan stopped making the Frontier (they still say they do) or that Toyota stopped making the Tacoma (they still say they do). So far you're batting zero this thread. Seriously.

    1/2 ton trucks with 7700 GVWR

    Yes, same exact thing. Per several other posts earlier in this thread. Including the very first response (mine) fifteen minutes after your original.

    2015 Chevrolet Colorado is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year

    While there is certainly a market demand for midsize trucks, the re-emergence of the segment is *NOT* due to the profitability of the segment. It's not like a couple hundred thousand buyers will come to the midsize truck segment ("if you build it, they will come"). The biggest reason you're...

    01-06 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500

    That's why I said, "If this is all about fuel economy..." Obviously, if it's about money or about "want", then you'd go a different direction. But when people are talking about what their 07-up Tahoes with AFM are getting for fuel economy, then you could stretch and say get one with AFM and the...

    01-06 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500

    If this is about fuel economy, buy a new 2015 Yukon XL Denali with the 6.2L and 8 speed automatic. In my personal experience, I can get 21-22 mpg on the freeway and 16-17 mpg around town. And it's much more powerful than my 8.1L.

    2015 Chevrolet Colorado is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year

    No, I meant built. The frames, differentials, body stampings, interior components, electrical components, etc are actually manufactured right here in the US. At least in the case of the Tacoma and Frontier. The Tacoma is 70% North American content.... as in "where the parts are actually...

    2015 Chevrolet Colorado is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year

    The Ranger was built here, not more than a few miles from my house. The previous Colorado and Canyon were built here, in the same factory the new Colorado and Canyon are still built.

    Neither the Tacoma nor Frontier are subject to Chicken Tax. They are built here.

    2015 Chevrolet Colorado is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year

    Ford has got to be embarrassed that the all-new aluminum F150 didn't take the honors "The Colorado to me is the perfect-size truck again," Reynolds said. "Its simplicity and purity are what a truck ought to be about."...
