  • Reviewing my (Eric's) lightly modified 3rd Gen Tahoe... I even left in the car seats for this review! This 2010 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4 LTZ only represents the BEST and MOST RELIABLE generation of trucks GM ever made, including this generation of Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Avalanche, Silverado, Sierra, & Escalade! This was the last generation before failing transmissions and direct injection induced lifter tap became the norm.
    They could even be equipped with heated reclining captain's chairs, rear entertainment, puddle lights, power lift gate, parking sensors, & more!
    Classy 3-Row family hauler? YES!
    Work Truck? YES!
    Legit 4x4 Off-Roader? YES!
    Pushrod LS based V8? YES!
    CHEAP??? YES!

    Who is interested in a followup video on Eric's 2010 Tahoe?
    Since this video he has installed Eibach Pro-Truck Struts & Stop Tech Z36 Extreme Drilled & Slotted Rotors with matching Carbon Ceramic pads on all four corners as well as Eibach performance rear anti-sway bar!

    • @GTPremiumReviews
      @GTPremiumReviews  6 днів тому

      I'm not positive of what you're asking due to the spelling 😬.
      But I believe the LTZ pack basically adds the luxury option & entertainment to the LT, & Captains seats into the build although they're listed separately, similarly to how an off-road package is listed on my window sticker when that's automatically part of the Z71.
      The GM window stickers are notoriously difficult to match up to an actual order package, especially this far into the future.
      Mine original sticker lists it equipped with the:
      Sun, Entertainment, Destination package.
      Luxury Package.
      Off-Road Package.
      HD Trailer Package.
      And a handful of standalone options like the 2nd row captains seats.

    So does the flex fuel not utilize the 93 fuel correctly? I have a 2007 z71 do I need a tune to use it?

    • @GTPremiumReviews
      @GTPremiumReviews  22 дні тому

      Mine is FlexFuel. I believe the flex fuel system uses an ethanol sensor to allow the engine to make adjustments to run properly on e85. The system wasn't designed to squeeze more power out at higher octane ratings, but rather to run well on both fuels.

      The 4.8L & 5.3L 2-Wheel Drive "street trims" versions where EPA rated at 14mpg city/20mpg highway. My modified 5.3L Z71 4x4 will regularly see 20-22mpg averages while driving around 60mph, city mileage is still probably around 14mpg.

      Honestly, I'm totally fine with IFS. I'm happy to exchange some off-road capabilities for on road control & safety. Especially in a vehicle like this that isn't really intended to be a rock crawler or serious off-roader.
