Z71 in the snow

[ochaole]

I took my Z71 to mammoth over the weekend in the middle of a snow storm/blizzard warning and got the chance to test its off road capabilities for a few days. I must say it performed excellent. In a chain controlled 35mph limit, i was cruising at 50mph without any issues. At one point i had to swerve around a 4-runner which was sliding to avoid a collision. The tahoe handled withou ever losing traction...i was very impressed and am loving my z71 just a little bit more after the trip....

Good job! thanks for the report, that's great news for some people that I know were wondering about puting chain on their GMT900.:thumbsup:

I keep hearing these impressive Tahoe off road/snow stories and it just makes me love the Tahoe that much more.I just wish I had a 4X4 even though I don't need 4wheel drive.

when i first bought my yukon i didn't think i would ever use 4wd, then my buddies said that can off road just as good as your old k5 blazer and your atvs, i said REALLY, and been using the kon to off road ever since, best off road truck EVER.

I used to off road with some Hummer owners and on one trip a lifter avalanche joined us and it kept up with the H2 just fine, of corse it wasn't extreme stuff that an H2 would do well in, but it handled every thing we threw at it just fine.

My buddy had a rental 07 tahoe last year when we got some pretty good snow, backed right out and never got stuck

The 07+'s are burly as hell in the snow, esp with good tires. I had fun in the 2wd that year too

We get some snow in the mountains here and I'm guessing being I have a locking differential with chains I could do just fine.

i think all hoes come with a locking dif, i wonder if i have one, seems like i do for how good she preforms off road, if not i dont need it.

I thought that was an option.

Yeah it was a rental from a dealer when his range was in the shop. I can vouch for the build quality of those trucks too, he was not nice to that truck and never had a problem with it for the month and a half he drove it.

i need to dig up the window sticker to my truck to see what all it has, but its in my safty deposit box at the bank lol with all the other papers to seal the deal from last year.

I have been an extreme fan of Chevy trucks every since we bought our 07 Tahoe. I am a devoted Chevy truck fan as yes these are very well built trucks and I read and hear so many good things about them. I watch Twister sisters just because they drive Suburbans in the show, sick huh.
