We are looking to get a new vehicle....and ive narrowed it down to tahoe or 4 door silverado. Im more of a truck girl, but the husband thinks its time to grow up and get a family ride........the tahoe is nice and had dvd player, 3rd row seats. but geeze.......somthing about a silverado with brush guard and some big ole tires drives me CRAZY!
but i guess what im realy asking is if any one has had any major problems out of them
the tahoe is an 05 and truck is 06
the thing you got to remember is that you are limited to what you can haul with the tahoe, but you can lock your stuff up and not worry about it. I have a expedition and love the fact that I can lock my rods up and not have them laying out. You can't haul crap with it though.
this should answer all your questions!! Never grow up!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Good Girl! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
Not too many like you around here.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
Well, you're splitting hairs as they are both nice rides. I don't know what I would do without an actual pickup truck, but I like the amenities of a Tahoe as well. It depends on your needs....
well, we live on a farm, so i say it makes sense to go with the truck, he already has a truck, but he works for CSX....so he works ALL THE TIME, and im left here to mess with the farm and horses. I know ive pretty much made up my mind, and i WILL get my way...haha
even as a kid, i loved big LOUD trucks........and seeing how much i love the boat biz.....im ALREADY not like most girls. lol http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

do you really want an answer to this in the precense of men http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
GEZ, I need you to sit down and chat with my fiance; she seems to think she needs a new convertible Lexus or Dodge Viper http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif We are in consensus though that we will never ever own a minivan http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
there is nothing wrong with a mini van casey http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
well, i have two girls. and with them being buzy bodies, i thought if we had another kid, we MIGHT consider the mini van thing.....but then agian, you can get the tahoe with 3rd row & dvd player http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
man too bad your already married cause those words just melt my heart comin from a women!!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
They are both awesome rides... Just depends how much you would really use the bed in the truck.... Cause like others have said its nice to lock your crap up. Personally i like havin the bed so i can haul whatever i want and throw anything back there and not worry about it! Good luck on the decision! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
haha, well sorry,........... and yes.....my husband is a lucky man... JK! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
now its finding the truck i realy want, i like the one we found, but it has a big block in it..........and i already hate filling up my honda for $25....so im sure i would hate an 8.1
UM................yep..............and twice as much fuel.
Go Diesel if you can.......that way for hauling/truckin you wont have to waste more $ on fuel your already gonna use anyway.......but depends on what YOU want as well.
you'll find that perfect truck for ya Megan http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif
Get both! We did http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Megan, thats a tough call. I had a lifted Dodge Ram 2500 HD that I sold for a Chevy Suburban Z71. Both did what I needed but each has their own positives and negatives.
Burban Positives: looks good, drives nice, comfortable for road trips, DVD player, seats fold down, better MPG and still pulls as nice as the silverado.
Downsides: is a stationwagon on steriods, can't haul dirt, rocks, sand etc... and sucks trying to put a dead deer in.
Silverado Positives: look good, drives nice, comfortable for road trips, looks kick azz when lifted and pulls as nice as the suburban
Downsides: can't lock stuff up as well, MPG not as good and my wife said I can't have one http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif
I had the same delima a year and a half ago. Came down to the fact that I could get a newer truck then Tahoe for the same money. Now that I did I am Soooooooo glad. I can still haul things that are messy or to big to fit in a Tahoe, and with the four full size doors I can ride 6 adults with no problem. Go with the truck and don't look back.
ok...ive pretty much made up my mind on the truck, now its finding the exact one i want, the husband wants 4 door, but im fine with the 3rd door. ive been on ebay, there is a few in arizona, which i know wont be rusted =) but such a long drive, guess it just matters what deal i can find on one
If you have kids, TRUST me, the 4 door "crew" cab is the only way to go. Mine has the suicide doors and it's tight in the back with the car seat.....

You are a dick! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
A 4 door or Crew cab is a Must,, i got a 3 door and eveything you want or need is always on the other side of the truck in the back seat .. and i'm getting to damn old to be crawling around looking for my junk in the back seat http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
ok, see.......im stubborn....i would have learned the hard way. thanks everyone for all the advice!

The girls are only going to get bigger. I would recommend the crew cab with four full sized doors. Depends on what your wanting to haul... you could get tonneau (sp?) cover which would allow you to secure things in the back. Then you'd have a HUGE trunk when you go shopping!!!
Weird thing is my wife wants to get rid of our darn clean 99 Sub, 88,000 original miles to get a crew cab pick-up.
I had a 2002 Silverado new 7.3.02...put 126k miles on it and best truck ever...
now have a used 2007 Silverado with 49k miles (bought 1st week last April)...its doing well so far also...did get a 12k warranty which I ALWAYS recommend if at all possible...obvious diffs in the 2 trucks: 02 better mpg cause 07 has the E85 engine thing...and 07 has bigger tires plus the digital readouts for many things. Both pull the ZX200 well.
