I had a 2015 Tahoe LTZ earlier this week. It had 124 miles on the odometer and a $65k sticker price. It was a pleasant find on RDU's Executive Aisle!

I put about 600 miles on it in the span of 24 hours. For the trip, I got 20.2 MPG, but that's mainly highway, doing 65-75 MPH.

The steering was very light for such a large vehicle. The blind spot sensors and vibrating seat warnings were a big help.

The non-OnStar navigation worked well, but didn't align with Google Maps' planned route from my phone. It did alert of traffic and weather changes automatically. Sirius radio was activated.

The 3rd row seats fold flat with a push button. The 2nd row captains chairs fold down and flip forward with a push button. The rear gate opens and closes by remote button, and the rear gate glass opens by remove button also.

The A/C seats were strong!

Unfortunately, the driver's side temp control display had some dead pixels, the driver's side mirror wouldn't tilt downward, and the column shifter made some scary clicking/cracking noises when being actuated. I always remind myself it's a rental car, but some of these quality issues shouldn't happen in a vehicle with 125 miles on the clock.

I'd rent one again. For a large vehicle, it got good gas mileage and was very comfortable for such a long trip.
