Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

Default 2012 Tahoe PPV 4x4

I haven't posted in a while (mostly lurked around) but have been a member for a fairly long time now. I finally have something to post about hahaha

Last week (thursday) two of our four Tahoes arrived. We installed the last small stuff (camera, radar, etc) and had everything ready to rock friday mid-day. I am 6ft 5in tall and it's nice to have plenty of leg-room in a patrol vehicle with a full cage.

We decided to replace our 3 4x4 expeditions and 1 crown vic with 4 tahoes (3 4x4 and 1 4x2). We decided to go through Defender Supply out of Denton, TX. We had some issues with DS but overall the Tahoes are awesome. This is coming from a Ford man at heart who has never owned a personal vehicle that has been a Chevrolet (this is my 2nd chev work truck though).

We are REALLY excited about them. These are the FIRST police package vehicles the county has EVER purchased....we are pretty stoked.


Some pics below. This is my rig before/after graphics.

Thanks! we are really excited about them.

hahaha I don't blame you one bit about not wanting to be in back of one...but they are pretty nice back there...it even has rear A/C in case you get too hot/cold.

I suspect that they are more flashers.

shark nailed it. They are more red/blue lights.
They look clear until the lights are activated then they start flashing red/blue.

Here is the link for them:

Well as crazy as it sounds...I have had this Tahoe for just under 3 years!! (3 year lease)

Our new rigs will be here tomorrow. My Tahoe (and one other tahoe) will go back to wherever the leasing company takes them (Valhalla?).

My new rig will be a 2016 Silverado 1500 CC 4x4. here are some teaser pics. more pics/details will be posted in my new vehicle thread.
