Wow...
Now I'm really confused.
I asked what changes were coming for the 2005 Tahoe and was told that there would not be any major changes to the outside.
I know they will (finally) be adding some features like an available DVD-NAV system but I thought the change to the front end was scheduled for 2006-2007.
Can anyone confirm the redesign will take place on the 2005 models?
And a picture would be really nice. :laughbounce:
Heres the deal with the '05 Tahoe:
It will still use the GMT800 chassis, however there may be some slight suspension and chassis upgrades, but its doubtable seeing that editors rave over how well the Tahoe and Suburbans ride.
Its styling will be more progressive, Trailblazer sounds about right. More aggressive, but not too agressive to scare away current conservative buyers. I doubt it will look similar to the Cheyenne seeing how most of the crowd didn't like it that much, but some do as well (Kinda 50/50). Design will be hard to figure out, but I think somewhere between the Trailblazer and Cheyenne sounds like a good bet.
Power from the 5.3L will likely be bumped to at least 300HP. Due to technological improvements by 2005 and the fact that the 5.3L is hugely under-rated (remember when it was 250!)
I will try to photoshop something when I get a chance (which wont be for a long time, ive been working overtime till 9:30-10 for a huge project for a client and well, I could use the money, lol.) Ill get back to you guys as soon as I can with a photoshop.
