Upgrade Time?
ive got an 04 ranger XL 2wd as most of yall know and im thinking of selling it to upgrade to something bigger. ive got a ton of work into my truck so this is a tough decision. some of my closer friends here know my grandfather passed about a month and a half ago. he left behind his 05 tahoe LT 5.3 4wd. parents are going to sell it. plan is to either let grandpas truck go, or sell my own rig and buy it. i keep going back and forth.. i wont have a bed anymore which i can almost get over. i dont use my bed to haul **** much anyway and i can still put lumber on the roof rack. interior space would be doubled, i have 2 useable seats in the ranger, 7 in the tahoe. gas mileage is another big deal.. mines been getting 18 tops. with a tuner ill bet i can get at least 17 in the tahoe. plans for this build would be to start: leveling kit, 33s on 17in wheels, light bar, or tube bumper up front. lights on the roof rack but with quick disconnects, winch, and a nice stereo. in the end id want a 6in lift and 35s. but wouldnt go much bigger. 10 bolts dont like oversize tires haha. anyways.. vote in the poll or post up some opinions.

at this point in my life, yes. ranger just aint big enough..
eh maybe.. the only parts that would be demodded on the ranger would be the lights and some stereo stuff. anything else would only come off if i got offered lower than my asking price. the less they pay the less mods they get haha.

Is the Tahoe yours? Would you get the money if you sold it?
If so, and you aren't completley satisfied with the Ranger or Tahoe, sell both and buy something you really want.
If your only option is between the two, i'd take the Tahoe. V8, seats 7, 4wd, in better shape, close to the same MPG's, fullsize, looks mean lifted, exc. Plus I love the way those Chevy front ends look.
I think about selling my Ranger daily because it only seats 2. With two people, my dog and the subs in the back its cramped. Also the only reason I have the topper.
Plus I have my Bronco so if I really needed to haul more then two people I can drive that.

I'm not quoting that whole thing.
but to answer your question, Most Tahoe's were known for the door rust thing.
Yea, us Northerners have rust from the salt, but some cars handle it better than others.
If you do happen to have rust starting, take some POR-15 and slap it on the bottom door edges.
It all happens because Tahoe's have foam/jute in the bottom of the doors that retains water.

17 mpgs in the tahoe is def high. My grandparents have a Yukon (5.3 4wd) and they can barely squeeze out 17 (most of the time 16) on the highway and that's all stock. With larger tires and such, I don't know if you'll be getting that. But I have always had a soft spot for tahoes, especially like the one that you attached a picture of. That's sick lol.
Regardless of mpgs, the Tahoe suits you best as others have said. Especially if you fix it up like the one in the picture.

ill debadge it if theres no holes left like the ranger badges have under them. i was thinking black out or color match most of the chrome trim as well. found a couple 02 chevy truck grilles that are brand new unpainted on CL. should be a direct swap with 00-06 tahoe.
also i forgot to qoute the other stuff about 3/4 ton stuff. but i wouldnt waste time or money doing that. unless you plan on wheeling the **** out of it. theres no point

Didn't you just get a brand new motor in the ranger not long ago?
How many miles on the tahoe?
I would put a list together on both trucks on the pros and cons and make a proper decision that way.
Part of the reason I let my dads f150 go is because right now I dont need a truck that big. Do you really NEED a tahoe? I wouldn't mind one, but I dont need one right now. If you aren't having kids any time soon I wouldn't trade the ranger for it. Not to mention they are dime a dozen if you want one just buy one later on and keep the ranger for work duties.
