I don't post a lot but have been a member a long time. I love to read all these post because as an old man I find a lot of info on various topics. I have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe that I bought new in 1996 (ordered it from the factory). Its always been garaged kept since new and I got it strictly to tow a bass boat up and down the interstates in Florida and the SE part of the country. In the last 12 years all I have used it for it towing my Bullet 21XDC/300XS 10 to 12 times a year to fish the Stick Marsh. It has never left me down and looks damn near new. I have been down a lot of really nasty roads with it. Most to the threads I have seen about towing boats are done using various truck brands. In my opinion I don't think there's been any comparesion on truck verse SUV when it comes to pulling our toys around the country. I love the short wheel base of the Tahoe, It's completely enclosed so every thing is dry and I have pulled my boat out of ramps that F250 4 wheel drive trucks had trouble pulling it out. I have two wheel drive with 273 posi (limited slip) and I cant remember the last time the tires slipped pulling it out. Any comments on others that have one or both these vehicles and how you would go if you had to buy another new one.
