awesome machine
the chey tahoe z71 is in a class of it own, it is realiably, powerful , handles like a sports car. with a very roomie interior with great amenidies
Superior SUV
Iv'e owned several other SUV,s in the past but none compare to the new Tahoe. Superior ride, comfort and amenities. Solid as a rock with power to spare. Couldn't be happier.
Love It!!!
I love everything about my Tahoe! I got black with tan leather interior and I can't be happier. The inside and outside looks are just perfect, beautiful even. The Tahoe handles like a luxry car, doesn't even feel like an SUV. Great pickup and braking, smooth cornering. I can't say enough good things about it.
Get better mileage
We just bought our Tahoe and I absolutely love it! I have to remember to take it out of all wheel drive when I first get in, so that I'm not using to much fuel. In doing this, it takes me from 15.9 to.. the best so far is 20.6 mpg. But, the average is 19.7. Hope this helps someone. Not all of the 2004's I've noticed are like mine. Mine has 3 buttons to the left of s/w. 4 Low, All wheel and the T/C. I hit the T/C before putting in gear, this is what helps with the MPG.
Very Happy GM Truck Owner
For this very basic LS, I bought 18" Michelin Pilots (truck came with 16" Goodyears, I believe)- truck now gets average of 20 mpg. I put in many miles per annum - don't just accept the "myth" of poor mileage! Also, the smoother-riding, after-market tires enable my elderly parents to enjoy traveling in this high-riding limo.
Tahoe
The Chevy tahoe is a fairly good car. It has a wonderful drive and a great u- turn. The interior could be more luxuries, but the outside is pretty nice.
gotta have a Z71
This vehicle is absolutely awesome the comfort and and ease it handles with are great. the only bad thing is the gas mileage is bad but i will never buy another make again except the Z71 Tahoe, but i also wish you did not have to pay for the Onstar and XM radio

BEST VEHICLE I EVER PURCHASED !!
2004 Tahoe LT Chevy
My 1998 TahoeLT was excellent. My 2004 Tahoe LT is outstanding.
Nice truck, but troublesome
I bought this fully loaded Z71 as a demonstrator in November, 2004. A local baseball celebrity had driven it 3,200 miles in six months. The truck is great to drive--quiet, lots of power, and acceptable fuel economy for the vehicle size. I occasionally tow a utility trailer with my dirt bikes (about 1,000 lbs) and you don't even realize it is behind the truck. Unfortunately, the truck only has 35k miles and it has been rather troublesome. The battery completely died several times during the first winter (computer software update fixed it), the steering intermediate shaft has failed twice (20 & 25k), the 4WD system failed (33k--encoder motor) and the water pump is now leaking (35k).
it hits the spot
this vehicle has great pulling power and is great for family. for a v8 gass millage is about 5 dollars different then a v6 and to me thats great
favorite suv
i love the way it drives and looks i feel safe in it and my family fits just right in it with plenty of room
Clarissa's Tahoe
I recently bought a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. I love this SUV. It drives comfortably and is very nice looking. I have had it for about four months now, no problems or regrets whatsoever.
LOVE my truck
Not good maintenance record - driver's armrest fell off 1st day! ABS brakes have gone out and a bad fuel pump has left me stranded. I feel VERY safe in the sturdy'ness' of this truck with my family.
My Tahoe Experience
I searched for a 2001-2003 Tahoe for over a year. Each Sunday looking for an owner want ad-who wanted to get rid of their Tahoe fast-no luck. Even the auction was no good. My last resort was go to a dealer I purchased a used Tahoe with 24K and it has all options I wanted and the ride,handle,and design is great.
very good
it has good handling
Greatest EVER!!!! sad to sell it....
I Bought brand new,I just love how it seems to have a button for your every comfort need. The only thing in over five years was it stated making clicking sounds when in park or drive,drove it for about 4000 miles before I got it checked out,it was the starter going out. But it never fail me! I would buy again this SUV Wonderful vehicle. I am only selling do to the fact my kids are gone in collage,and I don't need this large SUV anymore. :(
Z71 is top notch!
I have always owned GM vehicles, but never a full-size SUV. GM and Chevy do not get the recognition that they deserve! This Tahoe is great in the snow and surprisingly easy to maneuver in tight spaces. 16,000 miles and not a single complaint, and great service from the Chevy dealer. Sport Red with the factory brush guard gets the looks and comments from many. I just smile and say, "Yeah, its mine.
good suv
drove it to vegas with mobil 1 oil and only 1000 mi on it from new..got 18.2 to 15.0 mpg on various tank fulls. handled mountains way better than our mini vans ever could
My lake cruiser
I'm happy with my 2004 Z71 Tahoe after almost 5 years. Just turned 45k on the mileage & just replaced the original tires with Goodyear Silent Armor. The ride really smoothed out. Problems: Mileage is really awful. The black painted front grill pealed (think a rock chipped it). The tire pressure monitor went haywire (I got a tire gauge). Lastly I wish the driver seat was a little more firm. My wife's Honda Pilot seat is awesome. With that said I still love my Tahoe. The room, the height, the looks, the cushy ride. Its my highway cruiser that can off-road it if need be.
Gives new meaning to "like a rock"
I had a 2002 Z71 Tahoe and last Saturday was involved in an accident where the other driver ran a red light and hit me in the right rear wheel area. The Tahoe skidded to the left sideways and when it hit the curb it rolled over. I walked away without a single scratch. The insurance people totaled my car. I turned right around and purchased a 2004 Z71. This one is identical to the 2002 except more bells and whistles on the interior and a much improved sound system. But there is a big difference in the ride and the quietness of this vehicle from the 2002. I loved my 2002 but the 2004 I can tell is quickly winning me over! Plus the Tahoe saved my life!
Buy A Z71 for serious FUN !!!
Only had a couple of months, but clearly the best sport-ute I've owned.
Colorado SUV
This is my 6th Tahoe and the most refined in creature comforts to date. The handling on slick streets has been very good but I expect will improve when I dump the Firestone tires that came on it. MPG with our winter fuel has not been impressive. I am still adusting to Stabil track as opposed to auto track. So far we like the truck.
Excellent Full Size SUV
This vehicle has been a dream to drive. Very responsive for a full-size truck. I test drove all the full size SUV's and this is the one to get. Priced attractively for what you get and quality has come a long way from the mid-1990s. Perfect balance between truck toughness and car comfort.
A Dream come True
I had a ford explorer and was never satisfied with its size and I am so happy that I changed over to the Chevy Tahoe for its performance and shape it has been a total pleasure to drive it everyday.
Great SUV
Great acceleration for 5500 pounds, very comfortable front seats when equipped with the LT package. Low road noise levels and great sound system
Bad fuel economy 2004 Tahoe
This is my third Tahoe. In the past, I've gotten about 20 mpg on my daily commute, and have been very satisfied with the performance. This new Tahoe gets 12-14 mpg! Very disappointed. Dealership has checked vehicle, nothing they can do. Fuel economy will be the top priority in my next vehicle purchase, the Tahoe won't make the cut. Can't even trade at this point because of the flood of rebates and "employee pricing" out there - I've had it for 7 months and owe $12K more than someone can buy a NEW one for! Makes it impossible to get rid of!!
Robb's review
The Tahoe is like riding on a cushion of air. It's sporty enough for tailgating, classy enough for sunday services, and rugged enough to haul drywall, plywood, and alll my tools. With the flat folding second row and removable third row, I can haul plenty without a trailer. It is the perfect vehicle for family, work, and play.
Great Truck!
Truck is great, bought it a few months ago and have had several trips in it out of town. It does extremely well for a V8 with this size of truck, I was averaging 22mpg and made it from Panama City, FL to Tampa, FL on a little under 1/2 a tank (5hrs). The interior design is great, minus the extra holder space on top of the center console, you can't get into the console without moving things off that space. I love the extra power outlet in the back, as well as the Bose stereo system-has great sound. I live on a backroad that leads out to a 4 lane highway and I know that when I come to the stop sign, this truck definitely has the get up and go to scoot out into traffic when I hit the gas.
My tahoe
By far the best purchase I ever made. This suv is very family friendly. The comfort and safety features puts me at ease when my wife is driving it with our daugther. Best suv on the market hands down.
Catherine Reese
I like how high up my vehicle is off the ground. When driving at night I hate the other headlights in my rear view mirror blinding me. I also like how sturdy the truck looks. I usually would have picked a white vehicle but this time I picked the color red (red fire. I just love the color.
LUV MY TAHOE
I PURCHASED MY TAHOE IN MAY OF 2003. MY WIFE AND I HADE SOME EXTRAS PUT ON AT THE DEALERSHIP, TALK ABOUT A GREAT LOOKING RIDE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SO FARE, I HIGHLY RECOMEND THE TAHOE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS,A GREAT LOOKING, HIGHLY RELIABLE RIDE.
very good
nice,glad to have one,
Great Car
I love this vehicle. It is better than I thought it would be. It has great power and handling and especially comfort.
Smooth Ride
Just bought my second Tahoe. I traded the first one for a Suburban and bought a 2004 Tahoe after 4 months. The comfort is incredible and I love the big seats. It travels Great! Some minor problems that the dealership took care of but everything is under warranty. As long as Chevy keeps making a car this comfortable to drive, I'll keep coming back.
I love my Tahoe
I love this car. I will not own any other SUV besides this one!
Oh Yes
The Chevy tahoe is great. In fact our family has 5 of them. They are realiable, very good looking, fun to drive, and most of all affordable. The chevy tahoe should be in a class by itself.
Another good Chevy
I purchased the SUV a little over a year ago and I have been completely happy. It rides well, has plenty of interior room, and horsepower to boot. We have used it mainly for trips considering that I live less than 2 miles from work. An enjoyable SUV, just what I expect from Chevy.
My Z71 Tahoe kicks ass, I love it !!!!!!
In a perfect world I wish I could configure the rear area for sleeping. You know, unexpected rain on a camping trip or when ya have a few too many at the tavern.
I love my Tahoe
This is a great vehicle. I did not want to go with the Suburban because I do not have a large load to tow around so the Tahoe was a great fit. It really is not that bad on gas. I can go a week (full 7 days) on a half a tank. However, if you let it get down to empty, know that you are looking at around $30 with prices the way that they are now. I think it is worth it though. It is good in city driving and high way driving and it is spacious. Overall, I love this truck and would recommend it to anyone. I am 23 and I could see myself and my future family still having a Tahoe years from now.
Storming Tahoe
This vehicle is exellent. It handles everyday life and does it well. The interior is comfortable and well designed. The ride is like a cloud.We get constant compliments. It drivs like a sedan although does not have the fuel economy of one. Besides that this is a wonderful suv.
LOVE MY TAHOE
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. WE ALSO OWN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BUT HAVE PASSED IT DOWN TO OUR DAUGHTER. RIDE, SIZE & COMFORT. TAHOE HAS IT ALL.
great vehicle, will buy again
this vehicle is driven by my wife, she demands reliable transportation, and this is what we have received. Being raised in GM orientated families, GMC's and Chev's have been our families favorites for many, many years... even our 2 grown sons drive Chev Z-71 pickups. Future purchases will always put a new Chev/GMC product in our front yard.....brian edgerton
One Awesome SUV
I've never driven a vehicle that was so quiet. The Tahoe has a built in feature which stops someone from trying to start the engine when it's already running. It definitely needs it. It drives and handles very nice. The turning radius is great! I'm very happy with all the ammenities the Tahoes has. It is loaded which is great for someone like me who loves gadgets. The Tahoe is definitely built around cutting-edge technology involving ammenites, safety, engine, brakes, and even the frame. I'm very happy so far with my Tahoe! It is built like a Rock!
Chevy Tahoe
This is an excellent vehicle, I love the way it handles, and its cargo capacity makes it multi functional. With the third seats, we are able to seat plenty of kids and still have room for camping gear. The biggest complaint I have is that now all my friends and relatives expect help when moving.
Love our Tahoe
I love my new Tahoe. It is fun to drive and has plenty of power to pull our Sea Doo's back and forth from the Colorado River. It is comfortable and easy to drive. My one criticism is that for the price the inside could be a bit nicer. We previously had owned 2 Chevrolet Astro's. They worked for what we needed them for at the time and we enjoyed owning them but we are enjoying the Tahoe even more.
Chevy Tahoe
This truck is a fabulous truck. Mine has 22000 miles on it and not a problem. I drive and beat my truck. It takes all of the abuse without any questions.
Poor Handling
This vechicle did not perform well in a strong cross wind. Because of the over-all poor handling of this vechile, I traded the Tahoe for a better riding and driving Suburban.
