Hi All,
I have a 2004 Tahoe LT, really like the truck, but almost 200K and the rust is gaining (I'm upstate NY). I am a semi retired building contractor and downsizing from my former shuttle bus ('98 E-Superduty w/7.3 Turbo Diesel), to the current Tahoe, now on to something bigger. I had been looking at Suburbans but why? I've been a Ford guy all my life and Fords have been good to me. The local dealer (Fenton Ford) is great too, but then again, Andy Fenton is a very good friend.
So...I'm liking the 3rd generation EL. Are there years to avoid, or what years are best to be beyond? I can't afford new, or even close, but with about 20K I'd like to get something with less than 100K and hopefully at the better upgrades over the years. Lots of opinions on the intro section of "what to look for", but I couldn't find stuff like better tranny gear years, and/or whatever.
I realize there might be lots of opinions here too, but I'm shopping.
Thanks for the help...
