Yeah I skipped the console issue because I didn't know the answer.

My wife might be getting a 08 GV this weekend. A late 90's 4-door Tahoe would be ok option what you save of purchase helps cover gas. That's how I'm looking at the $6000 GV vs a newer compact crossover. 1998 Tahoe combined is 13 mpg, GV is 19. By 2008 Tahoe's were up to 16 mpg combined.

Can't find many accessories for the 07-08 GV either, using the brakes instead of a LSD I'm curious to try out, I've read it only does it in 4 Low, I'll find out once I get it. The one I'm looking at has 255-55-16 that are worn & mismatched so get to give it some new shoes pretty quickly. Leaning towards some Nokian Rotiiva AT 245-70-16, 245 are cheaper than 235 or 225-70 oem size.
