Solid and stable SUV

Big and comfortable, great power, never gets stuck in snow, very stable in tight turns and on the highway. This truck gives you a commanding view of everything around you and great protection in collisions. My Tahoe was rear ended by a full size cadillac last year, and the Cadillac front end was totalled. My Tahoe only needed the bumper replaced ($300). Dependable truck.

This truck has been a joy to drive, but when it does need repair it is always expensive. The electrical system is starting to be a problem.

Best suv for the money. With now over 140,000 miles it's still running strong. All original parts except battery, belt & tires.
Love this car

Incorrectly reviewed as a 2 door a few years ago. 202,000. 4th transmission has outlasted previous 3. 350 running strong and smooth with K&N factory air replacement and routine oil changes. Recent road trip showed 18 mpg, and that with junk tires and a loose front end. I'm patiently waiting for original exhaust system to give me an excuse to upgrade. One through rust spot, rear wheel well. Time for fresh paint and interior, as leather has worn due to heavy use. Handles great after front end rebuild. Passengers "brake" and then joke about Tokyo drift on the on ramps, but she just sits down and goes through 'em.

1997 Tahoe, Excellent Choice

After 200,000 miles (253,000 total miles), I'm still very pleased with this vehicle. Reasonable operating cost, very reliable. I had to overhaul the transmission at 224,000 miles. It's had 2 alternators, 2 fuel pumps, and the A/C evaporator had to be replaced. Assuming NO residual value, this vehicle has cost me less than 26 cents per mile, including EVERYTHING (interest, insurance, licensing, gas, & maintenance). At current estimated value, operating cost is about 22 cents per mile. I average 18.5 MPG.
