Tahoe-1

I have owned other SUV's, but the Tahoe is definitely delivers a lot more for the money. Overall the Tahoe has been reliable and fun to operate. The interior manufacturing quality and design is somewhat less than what I would expect from a $38,000 SUV. A few trim details have come loose and had to be repaired by the dealer. Door hinge spot-welds have come loose also requiring a trip back to the dealer. The interior could be improved without have to upgrade to the full leather package. Overall... very satisfied.

The autoride is really awful. The dealer said it would imporve stability but it makes the SUV handle like a drunken cow. It is terrible to drive in the highway and almost impossible to keep on the road. It feels like one of those old Caddilacs with Jello shocks with the tire air pressure at 6 pounds. We have a small boat and it feels like a 19 foot boat in 5 foot seas. It wiggles and wobbles and sways around where you need dramamine. Awful. Other than that and the gas mileage it is a great truck, or would be without the autoride.

Excellent So Far

We have the 4.8L which is adequate. The size, space & comfort are excellent. Incredible options for the base 4Wd vehichle including AWD. 50/50 3rd row is superior to essentially all competition for ease of folding/removal & functionality (most are a 1-piece bench). Superior look, quality feel & ride vs. the competition.

15 years amazing vehicle

I bought my 2002 Chevy Tahoe LT brand new and took great care of it. I hoped to drive it for another 15 years; however, my wife, while parked in traffic was rear ended by a 2017 Dodge Ram moving at 60 MPH. I'm pretty certain that if my bride wasn't in the Tahoe the Lord would have taken her home. With only 145,000 miles I only had three repairs: 2 water pumps, 1 at 105,000 and another at 137,00 miles the third repair was the A/C. I highly recommend the Tahoe to anyone looking for reliability and safety.

Bought the car new. No issues, 304000 mile on the car now, still going strong. Love the room and the feeling of driving a reliable, safe chevy Tahoe . The 5.3 V8 is a great motor.Only maintenance repair was brakes water pump and oil changes.
