I agree with AlexP on autoride

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.

LT5.3 Tahoe

The 5.3L is not as snappy as I thought it would be. A friend put dual exhaust on his, and gained 10+ HP plus gas milage. On a 2000 mile road trip, we averaged 19 mpg - however, if you go over 80, that turns into about 12 - 14

2002 was a great year for Chevrolet Tahoe. Wonderful car. No major problems just regular routine maintenance. Mileage 190,000.

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.

Frustrated As Hell

Recently upgraded from my 1998 Tahoe LT to this one. Big mistake, in under 4k mi. the power-steering pump shaft broke (making my return trip from the lake the best upper body workout of my life). After 3 days waiting for a new PS pump, got it back and now I am blowing interior light and sunroof fuses every 15 minutes for no apparent reason. Transmission clunks loudly when I pull my small boat, and still having trouble with climate control system (A/C goes on for no reason, and no it was not set on auto)! If possible I will unload this albatross and buy 1999 Landcruiser with 45k Mi.
