Purchased the 2001 Tahoe 4/4 in 2013. Still have with 230,000 miles. The Tahoe was built like a tank, very reliable and roomy. This 4/4 Lt has a locking rear differential which a few suv has. Great in the snow while driving in Truckee, CA . I was very lucky to purchase the suv from one owner with extra accessories added. If you get into a major accident this family will survive. An extremely large deer just ran across the road after midnight the car stood strong and trampled it. Fortunately it did not slam on my front windshield. No damage underneath. Also, what’s great about the rear differential it is on automatic when it feels like sliding it kicks on automatic. On I-395 a car unknown reason just stop in the middle of the road during the snow season. Drastic maneuver took place instead of a collision or on coming traffic. I move to the side and did a 360 hitting the pole but fortunately my rear differential just kick in which save my life to control the suv. The driver side door and window was damage. The 5.3 liter 4/4 WD suv is built like a tank and not total. I would buy another suv 2001-2006 and look for low miles, rear differential and 4/4 .

I have been the original owner of my 2001 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I have had minimal trouble with it. I now have 100,000 miles on it and am starting to expeience some difficulties. The window motors are starting to burn up and the windshield washer motors are starting to crack and fail due to freezing. I have concerns about the transmission. It has been known to slip and I am the last one of all of my friends that has not had the transmission rebuilt. I have done all regular maintenance and I change the oil every 500 miles. My complaints are not with fuel mileage as I have the 5.3L motor and I average 15-16 mpg and I have more room than a 4Runner that get about the same mileage. Poor handling!

I'd been shopping for a new truck with my Jimmy lease about to expire when I ran across this one. Purchased GM Certified Used with only 16,000 miles on it. It has never been in for anything other than routine maintenance and I'd recommend this truck to anyone. Never tried any serious offroading in it, but it more than handles the harsh Michigan winters!

2001 Chevy Tahoe Z71

This vehicle is a vehicle that I have wanted for a while and now that I own it I am more than satisfied with it. It is a very comfortable ride and exterior look of the vehicle are very sharp. I like the Z71 package because it makes it a more sporty looking SUV than the regular Tahoe LS/LT. Mechanically this vehicle is very sound and its performance is top of the line. I plan on going off roading a little bit and I know this will be the right vehicle for me. So I recommend a Tahoe, but I prefer the Z71 over the others with all the options. I love this vehicle and plan on keeping it for a very long time.
