Default Question about 08 Tahoe

Hi all,
I would like to change my 05 Honda Pilot for a 08 Tahoe, do you have any concerne/advise about this truck, like transmission or something else ? The trim I look for is LT w/leather & sunroof...

Thanks in advance

get an 09, they have a 6 speed that is much smoother than the 08s 4 speed... also make sure you get sat nav, else you will hate your self. the power rear lift gate is also worth every penny... the 3rd row doesn't fold flat.... umm its not going to get the same MPG as your pilot! but it will tow a hell of a lot more...

well, sadly you have to get it... its like power windows were years ago... if you dont get them your just missing too much.

all of my sat nav boils down to 1 issue: voice commands for destinations, and since all the 09s do it and i'm apparently the ONLY one who's complained to GM, looks like no one uses this feature anyway... which is why I'd be happy if GM just cut me a check and said 'hey, we can't build tech for $hit, and we are sorry'... it's been 6+ months now without a fix... time to put up or shut up..
