Consumer Reviews for the Chevrolet Tahoe
Read recent reviews for the Chevrolet Tahoe
298,000 Miles and I can drive it across country!
Chuck D, 05/28/2016
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe LS Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
UPDATE 4/27/23: Still cranking up on the first tap of the key with 366,124 miles. This is clearly the most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned. I do not need to add oil between 4,000 - 5,000 mile oil changes. The engine has not been rebuilt. No internals (bearings, rings, pistons, lifters etc.) have been changed. It is just a very well designed/engineered engine. It has the … original torque converter, and I can still pull my 24 ft Sea Ray anywhere I want, and that actually happens a lot in Florida. The most meaningful tips that I can pass on are: Please use synthetic oil if you can. Conventional oils and blends simply cannot protect your engine as well full synthetics in extreme conditions like hot summers and long trips with a heavy load. I buy full synthetic at Walmart for less than $25 per 5-quart container. I also elected to use 10-40w since about 150,000 miles. My reasoning was that summers are harsh here. I frequently have heavy loads and on older engines the internal parts are worn, and the tolerances (spaces) are not as tight as a newer engine. The 10-40w address both issues for me. Of course, I would highly recommend one of these vehicles if you come across one in good condition with a decent maintenance record. Almost forgot. I have the thick gray cloth interior. It is holding up beautifully. The seats do a wonderful job of hiding 20 years of child footprints, spills, splashes and oops, sorry Dad. Even the original paint looks great after 20 years in Florida summers. RockAuto.com has been a great source for this vehicle. Thanks for reading everyone and have a great rest of your day.
UPDATE: Still going strong 352,325 miles 10-26-22. It can easily tow my 24 ft Sea Ray anywhere...Excellent. Uses no oil between 4k Mobile 1 oil changes. This is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
PS: The gray cloth seats still look great.
UPDATE: Still going strong 4-25-21 340K
BASICS
The Tahoe offers plenty of room for kids and adults of all ages and sizes. The ride is very smooth and quiet. It handles remarkably well for a vehicle of its size. Acceleration is very good. It tows my 5,000 lb boat with ease. The gas mileage (15.8 city 19-20 hwy) is not that good but it is great when you compare it to other vehicles of this size, age and towing capacity. Maintenance and repairs for me have been very minimal. The engine and differential are in excellent condition with no known repairs. All electronics and the A/C have performed flawlessly with no repairs or maintenance ever. The body and paint are in excellent condition with no flaws or defects. The cloth interior has held up beautifully with kids in and out everyday.
MY STORY
I bought the Tahoe with 140,00 miles on it. I drove it across 3 state lines to get it home with no noticeable problems. I live on a very quiet road and I did notice that I could hear an ever so light squeal or sound like a wheel bearing just was not right. Turns out one of the front wheel bearings was going bad. I changed both wheel bearings, outer tie rod ends, shocks and lower ball joints. It did not really have to change the ball joints, shocks and tie rods but my kids ride in this truck and sometimes with a large boat in tow. It took about 4-5 hours to do it myself. The steering was super tight and drove like new. Yes it would easily track the road with no hands for quite a distance. Again only one wheel bearing needed changing and this is very common with the Tahoes. These parts were replaced during the first week of ownership as a part of getting the truck is top condition. I also replaced the belt and heater hose so that I would not have to be concerned with them.
I drove this used truck with ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS FOR 110,000 miles!
I changed the oil Mobil 1 synthetic, $24/5qt at Walmart, myself), replaced worn out tires, spark plugs at every 100,000 miles and changed the brake pads once. I think that this routine maintenance is extremely minimal compared to any vehicle especially a truck that sometimes tows a 24 ft. Sea Ray (heavy boat).
THE BAD
At 251,000 on the way to a trunk or treat for the kids the sun gear in the transmission stripped. This is a very common issue in GM transmissions. The transmission made a not ever so loud pop like something broke and then went into neutral. I stopped to check it out and it work fine when I started again except it did not find third gear. 1st, 2nd and a late overdrive and I was on the highway cruising home. Found out reverse did not work so I had to get a neighbor to push me back into the drive way.
Took the transmission out and took it to a small shop to rebuild for $400. Opted for the heavy duty kit for $500 and picked up the rebuilt transmission 8 hours later. The rebuild has been great for 47,000 miles with the original torque converter.
THE OTHER BAD-----OTHER REPAIRS SINCE THE TRANS REBUILD
---$150 (myself) premium water pump because it was leaking----premium alternator $90 (myself) because it was not holding 14 volts consistently---- premium fuel pump & filter---$250 (myself) because it was giving the signs of going bad (sometimes needed to crank it several times to start, occasional hesitation on open throttle or flooring the accelerator). Many vehicles have these repairs within the first 100,000 miles but the Tahoe made over 250,000 before needing them. Yes I checked with the 1 and only previous owner and he provided all work receipts. I think that this is exceptional performance for a used truck that had 140,000 on it when purchased. Also realize that the truck is now ready for 50k or more miles with no worries.
Now with almost 300,000 miles I can drive this truck across country. Yes, I do occasionally drive it over 1,000 miles one way with no worries. I am on my second set of Michelin tires that give me about 90,000 of wear. I think that a quarter million miles on a transmission is awesome and 300,000 miles on an engine that still purrs is amazing.
In my humble opinion this truck has been incredible. 300,000 and I can let my wife drive it anywhere, with no worries, if she wants to use it. In the present state there is absolutely nothing in need of repair on the truck. Current state is 10/10 and the ride is like a Cadillac. That is saying a lot for a vehicle with 300,000 miles on it.
UPDATE: SIX MONTHS SINCE REVIEW WAS POSTED and ....
Still running great with absolutely no problems. My only cost have have been the at home mobile 1 oil changes (Walmart has cheapest oil & filter prices in my area @ $31 per oil change every 5,000 miles) and to put $2 a gallon regular gas in the tank. The engine does not knock, hesitate or lack any power, especially when entering the highway. Also, there are no oil droplets in the driveway and there is absolutely, positively no smoke whatsoever! Luv this truck.
