I'll definitely use the '06 9 hours ago, EvilBird said: that I believe. yeah exactly , as soon as I said id walk you , you got defensive and added braking and cornering lol. Honestly I would imagine you would at this point. since my truck is 20 years old with 200k . Never ridden tug hill. I ride in Vermont. sigh... the 06 has 286k and over 10k engine hours on the original engine. runs and drives great, looks like it went through a battle Vermont? do you have a can on it too?

I got the heads refreshed and installed the updated valve springs on my 6.0 about 8 years ago. Other than that all original, transmission as well. Huh? I have never had a can on any of my Snowmobiles . It is illegal to run a can in Vermont and frowned upon by most Sledders up there. Few times I have heard one was in Southern Vermont and it was upstate New Yorkers When I ride in New Hampshire I hear/see a lot more Sleds with Cans. But most of those clowns are from the Boston, MA area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just fucking with you Donk Master J. the reason I prefer the PPV's is that they are lowered properly from the factory, utilize stiffer springs and shocks, bigger sway bars and a different brake system. the 06 isn't as good as the 16, which handles more like a large German saloon car than a big janky SUV. corners as flat and accurate as some of the old ws6 F bodies I had in the 80's and 90's. if you ever get an opportunity to test drive one you'd likely be amazed at the difference.

My Sisters regular '16 LTZ Hoe handles good. Her Husband is a Police Officer and he drives a PPV Tahoe for patrol. Ill have Him take me for a rip someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got along great with a DOT cop that ran the truck stop I had to go by daily. Liked everything about them except the fact they were 2wd. Your mileage may vary. Dude was cool. After a while he never even asked me about having HazMat and just started shooting the shit. Funny though to see him walking down the Pond Road with an AR when the bank in my town got robbed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Looking at the GM website says 4WD... huh... EDIT: Says available. Edited September 17, 2022 by Snake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember @Crnr2Crnr said one of the Tahoe's he had was 2wd. I like that my Caddy is AWD all the time personally , Im pretty sure they went away from that tho on the newer ones and now its selectable. Im really on the fence about my next truck. Newer Escalade would be nice but a pickup sure would be handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 6 hours ago, EvilBird said: is the PPV only 2wd? 15 & up we're available with 4wd. Mine is. The 06 is rwd but with a limited slip, winter tires it's not a problem if you know how to drive, even pulls a 10ft clam with two sleds. We live on a very steep hill, I see tards with AWD and 4WD and all season tires not make it up on a regular basis. 3 hours ago, Snake said: Looking at the GM website says 4WD... huh... EDIT: Says available. See above. The 22& newer PPV's are slick, 20" steelies with Brembo's. Basic truck with rubber floor and no fancy stuff. https://www.gmfleet.com/police/chevy-tahoe-ppv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 shoveled 2.19T of road base onto the two track driveway this morning, enough of this for now, going fishing before we close the place up mid October for the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
