Re: Going to look at a Tahoe. High miles-should I worry
Today I finally got to check out the above Tahoe. It was OK. A few minor things but no deal breakers. The one thing that surprised me was how sluggish the 5.3 felt as in comparison to my old 2002 X-cab pickup with a 4.8 in it. I guess the Tahoe is probably heavier but it has nowhere near the acceleration that my truck had. Is this normal?
The other thing which, I almost expected, was the tires didn't feel balanced well at all. They are 305/40/22's and some off brand I've never heard of. Probably some cheap Chinese tire that can't be properly balanced.
The Tahoe that broke down was in better shape than this one.
