It is poor form to try to further negotiate a deal at the closing table once the parties reached agreement that got them to that table. Not that it doesn’t happen. But to your point, if the dealer added port accessories to the delivery that you didn’t know about before that meeting, those are...

I agree the AT3s feel very well planted in rain. I’ve gotten stuck in a couple downpours lately around Floyd Hill on I-70; it’s under construction through there and there is no shoulder on a 6% grade. Not a spot where you want to hydroplane.

Not seeing anything about a stoplight. I also, by the way, think the function is great when you’re in one of those interminable lines to get out of the parking lot after a concert or sporting event. Also not in the manual.

See there? I agree completely and I bet that’s not in the manual.

Agreed, though that is sort of the point. When people want a definitive answer to a question, they do one thing. When they want to talk about a subject in a “what’s your experience and opinion on…” way they do another. RTFM comments to me demonstrate an inability to read the room, or an...

You are going to be told this so I’ll go ahead and say it. Many of the things people discuss in life are documented somewhere. The nature of discourse is to share experiences and personal observations for context. This is why forums like this are here, otherwise let’s just have a wiki.

Good call-out. Clay bar isn’t something you do before you wash the car or to spruce it up before you go on a date. It is a pre-wax step.

The other thing that has gained ground is clear coats on paint jobs. I’ve had my Tahoe 8 years and have never waxed it (too damn big). It cleans up just fine. It also lives in the garage though, which might be the operative lever.

Nothing wrong with Turtle Wax products. It’s a mainstream high volume chemical company and the products are surely more similar than different versus other products at the same price point, including the “M” one (not sure you meant Mother’s or Meguiar’s but it doesn’t affect the point). Good...

I have the Falkens on my Tahoe. I used to have Defenders. No doubt the Falkens are louder, but I expected that. They aren’t loud enough to be annoying and in a certain sense the additional tread feedback is reassuring. I think I’m a MPG or 2 down versus the Defenders on average. I go back...

Congrats, I look forward to hearing more about it. So this is a deal you did on an in-stock vehicle with no deposit or waiting list? I ask because I think I’m beginning to see a little inventory on lots here in Denver and at the same time I put a deposit down on a GX 8 months ago and don’t...

I like to say that the most important vehicle on any test drive is the one you show up in. Because the differences between that vehicle and the one you’re shopping for will seem to be the most pronounced.

I recommend the Car Care Nut review of the LC. That guy knows what he’s looking at and goes into much detail on the choices Toyota made architecting that engine. It’s a very interesting watch if you’re interested in the material at that level of detail at all. Spoiler alert, he is very...

(Off topic) Your avatar. Level 42 fan?

I’ve had three BMWs and two Porsches (still have one of them). I love them all. The BMW 545i I had from ‘07 to ‘13 was epic, maybe my favorite car ever. My perception may be colored because of the Porsche in the adjacent garage space. That said, for my daily driver I’ve reached the point...

Fair point. I hadn’t gotten as far as figuring out the OEM wheel width, Sounds like it’s 7”.

Ha. Same. My 2016 Tahoe has it in theory, but in reality I dance around twice, give up, and push the button.

Nice! I also have a 911 in the garage. Driving a 2016 Tahoe now, looking forward to a LC soon. The two should make great companions. Agree on internal storage, and I could do without the cold box. Hopefully there are some aftermarket solutions.

Hello LC team. I’m an incoming. My 2016 Tahoe is aging out and suddenly feels too big to everyone else in my family. Frankly, the Tahoe has been an outstanding vehicle and has given me few problems in 115K miles. But it is really big and the latest body update looks like it’s 15% larger yet...

Defenders are in my opinion the best tire on the market for any vehicle that doesn’t need a specialty tire. On this forum, specialty = all-terrain and everyone can make their own choices whether they need that. I just got 70,000 miles on a set of Defenders on my 2016 Tahoe. I replaced them...

Late to the thread, but I wanted to mention that 285/65/18 tires are exactly the same rolling diameter as the OEM 265/70/18s. I’ll paste the tire size calculator result below. This would mean we could safely keep the OEM spare. I have Wildpeak AT3 on my [outgoing] Tahoe, I see they are...
