Agreed on the 10k offer, but there is no way I'd pay 22.5k for it when KBB high is 8400. And when there are plenty of decent ones out there for fair market price, not emotionally attached price. The one you show is a good one. I'm guessing the 6.0 is the 400sb in vortec clothing.
Nope, 6.0 is the bigger LS brother to the 4.8/5.3. Same architecture.

**Nvrmnd, I see what you're saying. Sorta. It's a 364ci LS. You could get 4.8, 5.3s in 1500 'burbs and a 6.0 or 8.1 in a 2500

I saw one yesterday, the engine cover said vortec 6000. It was an 05 Yukon Denali for 7500 and 222k miles

These were both nice ones. The Durango was awesome except for gas mileage. Got worse than the Hoe, lol.

My Bride and I have had 3 Tahoe/Yukons. 1st was an 03 Yukon, Dark Charcoal, Gray cloth with a Bench front. Had a 4.8, GREAT rig. Traded it for a Slate Blue 08 Tahoe 5.3, again Cloth Bench front seat. Another good ride, but at 100,000 the milky looking oil sacred us and we traded it on a New body style 2015 Champagne with a cloth front bench. The Yukon we bought in Ontario at the GMC dealer after we saw it in Boise and they wouldn't deal so I asked the dealership in Ontario OR if they could dealer trade and Yes they did! The Blue Tahoe came from Pocatello ID and we did the deal over the phone. My Bride was with her parents and met the salesman at a McDonald's in Eagle Idaho and took delivery. The 2015 Tahoe was at Woods Cross Utah and we went down there early on a Saturday and got it. Just about walked out of the dealer when they tried to add a $200 fee for some BS. Told them there were 4 other Tahoes in the area that we could get......lots of dealers in the SLC Utah area. We will go where the rigs are if they meet our criteria. Sorry for the letter........But these SUVs are very good in our opinion

Yep, all the '03-up Denalis had 6.0s/4L65s and most were AWD (maybe all of them? Not sure). The Escalades could be had with a 5.3 or 6.0 and AWD or 2wd

You know you would have to build one of those, right?
Yeah I know. I wouldn't put that kinda effort in a 'burb though, I'd go for a 1500HD QS if I were gonna do all that
