I am definitely in a bind here guys. A guy has offered to trade me his 95 2 door tahoe with a 9" pro comp lift and only 79,000miles for my 99 ss with 123k....what do you think? need some opinions!!!

here's the site for the tahoe

that Tahoe gets horrible gas mileage, plus since its a 95 and 4x4 their could be a whole lot of **** that's worn out and is going to need replacing

Those things are money pits once the hit high mileage, and it will get terrible gas mileage.

Keep the Camaro for sure.

How can you go from a Camaro SS to a Tahoe? You'll be losing on this one.

You'll probably wish the LS1 was in the Tahoe since they are ******* slow *** hogs.

But if you got a small dick, it's the truck for you.

Decent truck, maybe nice to have on the side as a DD, but definately not worth trading your Camaro for. Had it a be newer model Tahoe that might be a different story if you were really over the SS. You'd definately be making a mistake trading for that truck though, even if it is lower mileage IMO.

I have a 98 sierra with a 6 inch fabtech lift and 3 inch body lift and currently has around 150k miles. I havne't had any major problems with it but yeah the mileage does suck with big tires. Mine has 35" tires but if that tahoe is geared it shouldn't be too bad on gas. I just did over 1200 miles on my truck this weekend. I drove to Nevada and on thurs, drove home on sunday, then off to bakersfield sunday night towing 3 street bikes in a trailer and 5 people in my truck up the 5. then back home yesterday.

You don't want someones lifted piece of $hit. It's going to ride like crap, get terrible fuel economy, and be pretty much an around town vehicle. I'd be shocked if it didn't have driveline issues (driveshaft angle compared to transfer case) with a 9" lift.
