3rd Gen 2010 Tahoe Z71 LTZ | The BEST Chevy Trucks Ever Made!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2024
- Reviewing my (Eric's) lightly modified 3rd Gen Tahoe... I even left in the car seats for this review! This 2010 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4 LTZ only represents the BEST and MOST RELIABLE generation of trucks GM ever made, including this generation of Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Avalanche, Silverado, Sierra, & Escalade! This was the last generation before failing transmissions and direct injection induced lifter tap became the norm.
They could even be equipped with heated reclining captain's chairs, rear entertainment, puddle lights, power lift gate, parking sensors, & more!
Classy 3-Row family hauler? YES!
Work Truck? YES!
Legit 4x4 Off-Roader? YES!
Pushrod LS based V8? YES!
CHEAP??? YES!

Who is interested in a followup video on Eric's 2010 Tahoe?
Since this video he has installed Eibach Pro-Truck Struts & Stop Tech Z36 Extreme Drilled & Slotted Rotors with matching Carbon Ceramic pads on all four corners as well as Eibach performance rear anti-sway bar!
Fantastic job on the video I’m planning on following his build on my next Tahoe
I’d definitely like a full review!
This production quality is unmatched, literally unmatched.
Thanks! I appreciate that
The Video or the truck 😆
I love my 2011 Tahoe LTZ. Over 250k and still running strong. This video hit the nail on the head.
Thanks! Glad you liked it & hope you enjoy your LTZ for another 100k at least!
360k in the suburban. 1 trans rebuild.
Just picked up a '12 Suburban LTZ, just passed 60K miles. She's a clean girl that packs a punch.
They're great truck, just make sure to disable the AFM to extend the life of the engine 👍
@@GTPremiumReviews mind me asking which diablew tune you chose or recommend ?
I got 360k. Change that oil and delete the dod system.
@@stefanb8526I got mine on amazon was around 110. I had a lifter collapse. Been running great and doesn’t change fuel mileage to much.
@@davidblevins9513 yes got the Range dongle. Was interested in the different options from Diablew. That's a beautiful mileage btw.
Just checking out some videos on this channel and you should have 10x more subscribers. Great content. Great footage, camera work, production, editing- all of it. But back to topic at hand, this Tahoe is absolutely BA. Such a crisp clean build on a great generation of truck.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. We think we should be there too… in time. 😉
@@GTPremiumReviews what brand cold air intake is that?
I just picked up a 2010 LTZ and I think it’s the best bang for your buck on the used market!
For my personal needs as a Family hauler & production truck that can also handle some off-roading & a trailer that is not a shop queen, there simply isn't a better deal IMO
Great real world video. It is obvious you are a subject matter expert on these Tahoe’s.
Editing was top tier as well.
Awesome job!
I appreciate that! IDK if I'm quite an expert just yet, but I'm very familiar with the platform.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't stop watching it!!
Thanks!
Love the GMT900
Tahoe. We have two. My wife has a 2011 Z71 and I have a 2013 PPV. Super easy to work on and mega comfortable to drive. They don’t look half bad either!
I have a 2010 LT with a leveling kit and baja all terrain tires and I love it!
Awesome video man
Glad you liked it
Thanks. I've been in the market for a bit and have finally settled on this generation of the Tahoe/Yukon.
Right on! Have fun & disabling that AFM as soon as you can! 👍
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Great lookin rig! Just traded my 04 3rd gen RAM for a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. Probably the best decision I’ve made. Currently have the headliner out as I’m doing a black suede refinish and the interior trim as well.
Awesome! I'll be getting a suspension replacement/upgrade soon & an apple car play touchscreen infotainment soon!
I got a 14 ppv white. I’ll tell you you are absolutely correct 👍🏼
Nice! Probably the same Chevy Defender package I drove in my assigned 2013!
I just got One a 07 2wd tahoe it super comfortable and fast
i had a 2003 chevy tahoe for 21 years as was a work horse. Finally broke down after 300,000 mile. Bought a 2007 suburban and problems all the time with 160,000 miles
I can definitely see having more problems than most considering it's the 1st year of that body style & not knowing the service history with the previous owners or how they treated it.
Man rhis is such a great review. Thanks for doing this.
Im in the market for a LT z71. What's thr ltz add iber the Lt?
I'm not positive of what you're asking due to the spelling 😬.
But I believe the LTZ pack basically adds the luxury option & entertainment to the LT, & Captains seats into the build although they're listed separately, similarly to how an off-road package is listed on my window sticker when that's automatically part of the Z71.
The GM window stickers are notoriously difficult to match up to an actual order package, especially this far into the future.
Mine original sticker lists it equipped with the:
Sun, Entertainment, Destination package.
Luxury Package.
Off-Road Package.
HD Trailer Package.
And a handful of standalone options like the 2nd row captains seats.
Whats the wheels set up and tires !! Love it man. Great video!!
I appreciate that!

The full mod lost is in the description as well.
I’ve been thinking about getting into a Tahoe. We currently have a ford flex ecoboost but it’s a gas guzzler and not as roomy as a Tahoe could be for us.
Parts availability on an older vehicle is a big factor too & the parts on this body style GM Truck/SUV is incredible.
Happy to have 2012 tahoe, it’s only need transmission cooler
Is it overheating?
@@tonycj7860 85 -90 c average
@@tonycj7860sometimes temp reachs 95c
what leveling kit is this?
Bro what a nice TAHOE
Thanks! I'm already putting more upgrades on it! 😂
@@GTPremiumReviews please make more videos of it!!
@@danielvazquez7139 Will do!
@@GTPremiumReviewshow the fender and door flare?
So does the flex fuel not utilize the 93 fuel correctly? I have a 2007 z71 do I need a tune to use it?
Mine is FlexFuel. I believe the flex fuel system uses an ethanol sensor to allow the engine to make adjustments to run properly on e85. The system wasn't designed to squeeze more power out at higher octane ratings, but rather to run well on both fuels.
@@GTPremiumReviews so a tune for 93 would be better instead
@@JayyMoney-vr7nv If you are comfortable with having your engine tuned, then yes.
What’s the mileage per gallon on these bad boys
The 4.8L & 5.3L 2-Wheel Drive "street trims" versions where EPA rated at 14mpg city/20mpg highway. My modified 5.3L Z71 4x4 will regularly see 20-22mpg averages while driving around 60mph, city mileage is still probably around 14mpg.
Anyone know about the obd 2 afm shutoff he was talking about
There are several reputable options out on the market ranging from a simple plug & play AFM disabler to a full blow tune with AFM disable built in.
I don't intend on sounding rude when I say "google it", but there are so many options & I only have 1st habd experience with the custom DiabLew.
I few minutes of searches & you'll find a model that suits you best 👍
Someone trading me with 2011 suburban z71 with 180k hwy miles i dont know if i should do it😊
Great video! Are you interested in car accessories sponsorship?
Too bad it’s not a solid front axle.
Honestly, I'm totally fine with IFS. I'm happy to exchange some off-road capabilities for on road control & safety. Especially in a vehicle like this that isn't really intended to be a rock crawler or serious off-roader.
