2002 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 2WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)

I purchased this new in 2002, still own it in 2020 with 350,000 miles. Everything on this vehicle is easy for a DYI mechanic. Room to spare, just basic maintenance, Tires, belt, battery, bulbs the normal items. Plenty of power, very good towing, I can drive it for 10 hrs without feeling worn out. It has simply never let me down. I will drive the wheels off of it before selling it.

I love my 2002 Tahoe however to anyone buying one i would take it in before the warranty expires and get them to do a full overhaul. I had to get my two front window "cranks" replaced (would have been 500 a piece. Just make sure you take it in and let them check everything.
Awesome & Tireless Tahoe

June 6, 2020 update: 243,000. 5.3 (325 CID, “Z”) I been replacing some parts that have just plain worn out. Front wheel bearings, front and rear bump stops. Otherwise just keeping up with maintenance. Still on the original transmission, with no repairs required. Oil usage continues to be low. I run 4000-5000 miles between changes and it does not need oil between changes. May 28, 2019 Update: The tireless Tahoe now has over 211,000 miles. It has NEVER failed us, no matter how far we travel (some 15 hour travel days), over any terrain (TX to CO, through the Raton Pass in NM), oftentimes towing our small molded fiberglass travel trailer. Oil usage continues to impress, still estimating using no more than a quart every 6,000s as I change the oil and filter every 4,000-5,000 miles and I have never had to add a quart between oil changes. I finally replaced the idler pulley and the ORIGINAL 2 belt tensioner pulleys at about 205,000 because one of them was squealing pretty consistently. Otherwise, its just been normal maintenance and replacing the occasional wear-out item (like the tensioners, battery, etc.). I am also going to toss in a shout-out to the GM seat guys - probably the most comfortable leather seats ever put in a vehicle. Long drives are never painful or tiresome. Can't say enough positives about this truly well-made, comfortable, reliable vehicle. This generation Tahoe (2000-2006) is probably the best GM ever made. Update December 5, 2019 Since last review pressed the Tahoe into service towing a 3000# travel trailer 13,655 miles from western NC to Alaska and back. Seven weeks and only one hiccup, that being a failed alternator. However, cannot fault an original part that failed at about 225k miles. Otherwise, recently replaced the rear axle seals and had the ebrake adjusted. Vehicle currently has just over 235k miles and continues to run strong.

I bought the Z71 in July of 2002 and haven't regretted it a day since I've owned this truck. Great engine. Quiet and comfortable. Handles snow with ease. It's an overall great SUV. I will buy another.
