Review
I bought the hoe and ever since I've loved it. Awesome horsepower with a few upgrades, "headers, K and N air filter, performance exhaust." With a fuel system flush and tranny flush I have gotten better fuel economy but for the ponies its pushing I'm ok with it. It's awesome for mudding and pull offs. But if working the overdrive transmission it needs a BG tranny flush and the conditioner for protection. I've had to do regular maintenance but what vehicle doesn't need it. If your looking for fun go with General Motors.

The POWER is AWESOME! I love the whole way this vehicle was built and designed. Its perfect for offroading witch is what ford cant do with the explorer, and isn't that bad on gas, unlike the dodge durango getting a boosting 8mpgs.
Suggested Improvements
I would say increase the gear ratio to raise the mpgs but then it would be more difficult to offroad.
One of the last of the GOOD Trucks!

Review
This is one of the greatest vehicles I have ever owned. Mine, though it has 150K miles, was extremely well cared for. Safe, reliable, fun to drive, easy to park(tight turning radius)and there really is no substitute for a Chevy 350 V8!! Mileage is better than I expected; 16+mpg around town. (has aftermarket air filter) I've owned 3 Suburbans and never ot more than about 12mpg with them. Of course that was in my younger, heavy foot days! (and cheap gas)Its a classy looking truck and somewhat rare to find in the 2door body style. I agree with another reviewer here.. ..If you can find one of these in good condition, BUY IT! They don't make them like this anymore. A true classic!
Favorite Features
Fun to drive. Perfect size. Tight turning radius(easy to drive and park) Solid quality construction.Timeless body style.
Suggested Improvements
Plastic headlamp lenses fade, yellow and restrict light output.. ...VERY counter-productive! Maybe this is just a Phoenix issue with our harsh sun?
A real SUV

Review
Great truck! Simply put, if you can find one that's been looked after, don't hesitate. Sure they have some common issues, but what doesn't? Overall it feels safe to drive, comfortable as all heck and the power and capablitities to pull most anything. I am looking to buy another to keep as a spare before they are all gone!
Favorite Features
The overall truck. Body style has truly stood the test of time and they are as sharp as ever when all shined up
Suggested Improvements
Heated seats should have been standard with any leather interior.
Excellent Vehicle

Review
I have a 2 door Tahoe that has been the best vehicle I have every owned. This SUV has seen a lot of road and dirt. With 175000 miles on it I have put this truck through hell and back. I have put very little money into this truck.with no leaks, no smoke, great handling, this still a very reliable monster. The only disappointment is that Chevy does not make a 2 door Tahoe any more.
Favorite Features
Style. This SUV still looks good. Has great power to weight ratio. Comfortable, great for long trips. Great reliability.
Suggested Improvements
Needs disc brakes all the way around.
