2001 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 2WD 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
We bought my Tahoe new with 90 miles on it. I'm now at around 157,000. It still runs great! I haven't had any trouble out of it except the back hatch has had a little bit of trouble. I love the roominess and it drives great! Great storage area and lots of passenger room. The only thing that I don't like is the gas mileage. It gets about 16-17 mpg, which is really good for an SUV, but would be much better in a car. If your looking for a good suv, then this is great! But if you're wanting a vehicle with great gas mileage then choose a car.
Favorite Features
Very roomy, drives well, no maintanence problems and carries 8 passengers when you use the 3rd seat (and 3rd seat easy to move)
Suggested Improvements
Just wish gas mileage was better
Nice Vehicle!

Review
We bought this Tahoe brand new with 15 miles on it. And we have never had any trouble out of it. We have taken it to be serviced every time it needed to be and its not that expensive on upkeep unlike my wife's Mercedes! This would probably be the best car for your money if your looking for a rugged rock hard family car! However the gas mileage is ok but could be better, especially with these high gas prices.
Favorite Features
Power seats, great sound system, rear air cond, 3 rows of seats!
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel economy, and thats about it!

Review
This is the best car I have ever had, which have included Mercedes, a BMW, a VW, Fords, Toyotas, and an Infinity. 20 mpg on the highway, smooth ride, and no problems in 142,000 miles. Wat it doesn't have in fuel economy, it more than makes up for in reliability.
Favorite Features
Size and quality
Suggested Improvements
Interior is dated (fixed with the 07 models)

Review
We love the four wheel drive! The LS model is just fine for us. It has cloth seats,no leather! Ours only seats six. That is a major drawback.
Favorite Features
We love the sunroof! There is lots of elbow room and space in the back. We've had some people comment on our "new" Tahoe. Yes, this car has some nice looks!

Review
We drive approx 30,000 miles a year and this has been one great SUV. After 130,000 miles, the only thing I have had to replace is the water pump at 60,000 miles. Very low maintenance. I put in a K&N air filter. We get about 17-18 mpg on highway and average about 16.5 all around. Can feel a bit more power on takeoff from the new airfilter. Brakes have been awesome. I replaced the front brakes at 110,000 miles and they still had over 1/2 their pad left!
Favorite Features
Brake life, lazy boy comfy front seats, rear cargo area room is huge
Suggested Improvements
Put aftermarket speakers in due to poor quality of OEM ones.
