Default 2005 Tahoe ?'s

Anybody know of any changes for 05. The 2-door Tahoe we have now isn't working out so well with the new baby and all. Wife wants a new Tahoe and the 04's are cheap now, but are the 05's gonna be any better. They're prolly gonna be identical but.....

Yeah forget the 3.23's, I'd get the 4.10's. But if they are gonna change the front end to look more like the trucks that would be cool. Current look is a little dated. Anybody know more about that change?

I've seen the new Bermuda Blue Metallic - it looks so good under the lights.

I need to go check it out in the sunlight tomorrow. I love that color.
