Love my Chevy

1995 Chevrolet Tahoe 2 Dr LT 4WD Utility

Review

This is the truck that I’ve always wanted. It has the comfort of an SUV but the styling and drive of a car. It's a sports truck and was beyond its time. Add big wheels and the experience is mind boggling.

Favorite Features

2 doors

Suggested Improvements

Higher compression and factory headers and gearing for better gas mileage

1995 Tahoe

Review

We used the Tahoe for both city driving and for long distance travels (Florida to Virginia). We have the towing package and have towed a large 18' boat to the Florida Keys and to Virginia with no issues. Very reliable and dependable. Even after 11 years we have had minimal component replacement. 1 A/C, 1 radiator, 1 water pump.

Favorite Features

Tailgate has been fun to have. Some times when camping, we have had to fold down seats and sleep in the car. Air mattress fits very well in the rear.

Suggested Improvements

Only drawback we have found is that it is hard to completely stop the air even when you turn off the individual vents.

95 Tahoe best deal around

Review

I bought my 95 Tahoe new. It's been a great truck! Looking to upgrade to a 2007 version. I will be very very very very very sorry to let go of this gem of a vehicle. It's been reliable... "like a rock" as they say. I have the "Sport" version with the big fender flares and everything.

Favorite Features

Nice big beautiful truck, really turned heads when new, still not bad looking, with the flames I added behind the rear wheels!

Suggested Improvements

Drivers seat could move forward to allow for easier access to back. That's been my only complaint over 11 years.

Review

I bought my Tahoe with 174,000 miles, 3 years later and 254,000 miles on the odometer, this SUV is mechanically sound. Repairs have been needed. I've replaced the radiator, muffler, and the intake manifold gasket (antifreeze leak on the front block - total parts cost $600). I change the oil every 3,000 miles. With a little luck I might get another 80,000 miles out of this engine (or another 3 years - holding my breath). If you want an old reliable SUV and don't mind using Chilton's manual to do the work yourself, this may be the SUV for you.

Favorite Features

Roomy, even the new Tahoe's don't feel as spacious b/c the dash is in your face

Suggested Improvements

Electrical wiring could be improved. Don't like filling up at the gas station. $75 dollars to fill up.

Review

This vehicle had about 35k when I bought it. I have never had a single bit of trouble with it. I did replace the carrier bearings at about 80k, and a few other normal items. The gas mileage is not that great (avg of 13), but this is a totally solid vehicle. It rides high and drives great. It still get's as good of gas mileage as the day I bought it. I use a Carquest sport filter and synthetic Mobil oil every 5k. In general, I love this vehicle. I plan on keeping it until my 2 year old gets old enough to drive it.

Favorite Features

Reliability, looks, easy to customize, smooth ride

Suggested Improvements

Better latch system for back seat

Review

What can I say, its a chevy, my tahoe has served its purpose in a variety of places, its great in the snow, in rain, dry, and stormy conditions, even mud...:) only everyonce and a while, but the only thing gm should have put the engineers to work on were the weak brakes that are meant for a civic or a small piece of crap, but tahoes are very versatile, and capable of whatever you chsoe to throw at it, it can easily conquer them, reliable and good looks.

Favorite Features

4x4, 5.7 V8, 2dr great looks, ample room, ground clearance, and the symbol on the grill

Suggested Improvements

upgrades brakes, more brakes, wish they had the vortec heads, more hp, bigger tires stock

Review

I purchased this SUV new and it has never let me down. It is great in snow. I got through 20 inch snow fall in 1996 when nothing else in my neighborhood could. I've had oil changed every 3.000 miles and basic dealer maintenance - the truck still drives like new!

Favorite Features

I love the 2 door style, sitting high, visability and reliability.

Suggested Improvements

Spare tire should be under the vehicle.

Run Away!

Review

I owned my Tahoe for 4 years and can write a book on the problems I had with it. So, I'm afraid that I cannot write a decent review in 700 characters or less. So here's a condensed review of my 1995 Chevy Tahoe: Stay away from this "SUV"!!! I have owned 20-25 vehicles over the years. My Tahoe was the absolute worst! How was that?

Favorite Features

Exterior design. Interior layout.

Suggested Improvements

A few less cup holders & a lot more quality! I will NEVER purchase another GM product! Since they screwed me on this one, that is my revenge! NEVER AGAIN!!! Actually, I just purchased a brand new vehicle & it's definitely not a General Motors product! HA!

Review

We purchased our Tahoe new in February of '95. It has been an absolute pleasure to own. I plan to keep it until it cracks down the middle and falls apart into 2 halves. I now have over 155K on the vehicle and it still runs like a dream. I'm a stickler on maintenance and have exceeded factory recommendations changing the oil every 2K for example. However, I have had no other major repairs whatsoever. Tires, battery, burned out light bulbs - that's about it. I love it

Favorite Features

Leather seating, AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo. Power everything! Great ride. Plenty of power. Still gets looks when it's all cleaned up.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage, but hey!!! It's an SUV with a big V8. 12.5 City / 18 Highway - not too bad.
