I've had three Tahoes! We usually trade in every 3 years or so - our reason is the mileage I put on it and the warranty issue. I commute two hours round trip for work so I generally put on about 30,000 miles a year. I absolutely love how it drives and have tried many SUV's. The downside for me of course is the gas prices right now. You can imagine what I have to pay for that many miles..... of course they are "highway miles" but still! My Tahoe's computer says I get 17.3 miles per gallon. I have seriously considered trading in for a car but just can not make myself give up the SUV desires. We also have an Airstream (part owner of one) that we pull occasionally and wouldn't be able to do that with a car. That and my "SUV desires" have stopped me from trading for a car (and believe me it's hard because I really like the looks of the Chrysler 300 - but really know nothing about them). I really like the new year's style and can't wait until it's time for me to trade again! Oh, and let me add that I have never had to take any of those Tahoes in for service (whoops.... let me stop and knock on some wood......) and I think that says a lot!

Also, on the third row seat thing...... our last one came with the 3rd row removable seat and it's been used once. Other than that time, it's "lived" in the attic. What I'd really like is a third row seat that folds completely down into the floor. I haven't heard if the new Tahoes finally have that. I know other SUV's do. I don't like it when the 3rd row folds up to sit against the back seat.... takes up too much cargo space.
