Autoride Alert

Review

Beware. Do NOT get the Autoride option on this vehicle. I have had mine to the dealership three times because the vehicle is extremely unstable. It feels like the vehicle is in a constant crosswind and the driver has to fight to keep it on the road. My wife is afraid to drive it. Any road irregularity and it bobs, wiggles and undulates while trying to wander right or left. The autoride system is constantly trying to keep the vehicle level or adjust to the road but it ends up causing gyrations that frighten me. Instead of being relaxed after driving it I am stressed and on edge. Autoride in my opinion is unsafe and a hazard. DO NOT get the autoride

Tahoe LS

Review

We've had our tahoe for over a year now. Ours has no 3rd row seat and the cargo area is used to transport our dogs. We should've bought the suburban and that is my advise. Just get the bigger one and get it over with, the size is less overwhelming over time and you actually get use to the size. All in all awsome vehicle and would buy another one, probably the Yukon XL, since it's a bit more attractive. A rattle in the dash is been bugging me too.

Favorite Features

Love the roomy interior, leg room, safety features, and engine power.

Suggested Improvements

Speed adjusted power steering (too loose at highway speeds), re-do the interior features and dash, place side air bags in "B" frame and re-post seatbelt anchors off of the seat.

Review

I absolutely love my 2002 LS 2wd Tahoe. I feel I got a great deal- I upgraded to the third row seat,with the lift gate and leather seats- with the 2002 rebate I paid $29,000 plus tt&l. I am very much impressed with the comfort and smooth ride. I am getting great mileage (16.5 city; 17.5 highway). I definitely recommend this vehicle!

Favorite Features

Comfort, quite ride and great looks!

console for cd storage could be improved

Review

Our Z71 takes the rugged farm we enjoy with ease, holds two 100lb. dogs with ease and after a good cleaning can hold it's own with any SUV out on the market! We are very selective in our SUV choices and the Z71 model caught our attention!

Favorite Features

Suspension,17in wheels and tires, rugged good looks and interior comfort.

Suggested Improvements

6-Disc Changer in the future, great ride!

Review

I have been driving a Tahoe LT Autoride for work for the last 3 months until very recently when vehicles were no longer provided. The problem now is that I have grown so found of the vehicle I really want one. I just don't want to pay the high ticket price for a new vehicle. Should of never got in that new one, because now I think I am going to have to spring for one. Great vehicle. Served all my needs very well...safe family hauler, smooth ride, power, boat tower, looks good, fun to drive.

Favorite Features

The smooth ride and powerband.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the silly tape deck in the middle of the dask. Might as well add a stock DVD entertainment system with those three rows of seats.

Review

Great power,smooth ride and lots of space! I have also been getting good gas mileage (18-20.5 mpg). However, I am dissapointed in the interior. The fabric on the cushions of my seats was not sewn well at all. Also, after riding in a Toyota Sequoia, I realize how small and relatively uncomfortable the Tahoe back seat is. Also, despite its weight and wide tires (265/70 R16), it gets blown around in the wind. When you have a substantial side-wind, you get a lot of leaks in the door and along the floor. One more thing, the bench seat option doesn't have a good range of adjustments for the seats. Short drivers might have a hard time. I'm 6'1" and I keep the seat as high as it will go.

Favorite Features

Great looking, lots of space, good gas mileage for such a powerful SUV, good handling for a large SUV. Good load of options even in the base model.

Suggested Improvements

Access to the third row seats, fabric quality and sewing, marginal sterio, more insulation in the doors and floor to keep out wind, more tolerance in the cruise control before it shifts out of overdrive and into third gear.

Review

I bought mine during the $2002 rebate and for invoice less the rebate. The only options on mine is the 285hp engine, rear liftgate, and raised letter tires. At exactly $28k plus TT&L this truck is a bargain. I'm getting right at 15mpg city (with fairly conservative driving.) It is quiet, smooth, and very well done. I had a 96 Tahoe. Almost loved it but the brakes were terrible and the design was sloppy. GM has nailed these new SUV's, and I am very pleased. If reliability proves good, I'll call it just about perfect.

Favorite Features

Great things compared to the old Tahoe: liftgate, flip-down rear headrests when folding the seats, auto headlights, retained accessory, courtesy lights under the outside mirrors, much better stereo, quieter, tighter, more refined.

Suggested Improvements

Same ugly fabric on the seats as my old Tahoe. If you compare the cloth in a Pathfinder to the Tahoe, the seats look cheap. Mostly, I've no complaints so far.
