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.

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.
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.
I love my Tahoe
I love this car. I will not own any other SUV besides this one!
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.
my chevy tahoes I have owneed
I have had a new Chevy Tahoe since 2000. All 4wds. To me it is fantastic when I go to my home in NM 12,000 feet up an icy mountian to my home or in Utah mountains to my other homes. We even went through Moab Ut 4wding spur of moment. We love them all, every yr is better. Jerri
Very Happy with my purchase
Very happy with my purchase...love it!
Chevy Tahoe LT
I just bought the Tahoe LT and I quickly fell in love with it. It has a great interior and exterior design. The entertainment system is the highest in quality, and the comfortof the ride is impressive for an SUV. This vehicle has everything to make it a complete and luxurious SUV.
Perfect Vehicle
We like our Tahoe an think it is a safe and reliable vehicle.
Who says women can't have a SUV?
I recently purchased my Z71 Tahoe. My husband was hesitant to do so, because of the fact that I am 5'2" tall. However, I feel safety and control in this type of SUV. We are planning to have a family soon, this SUV, makes me feel that putting another life in it, will be safe! I absolutely would recomend it to every Mom or Mom to be out there, tall or short instead of a minivan! Thank you.
2004 Chevy Tahoe LT Purchase
I am overall impressed with the performance and value of the vehicle. The vehicle is solid as a rock and is as dependable as ever. I look to have years and years of service of this unit.
northeast driver
The Tahoe was intimidating to me at first, after a few drives I find it to be a pleasure to ride in and drive. It handles like a dream, my car requires more hands on driving than the Tahoe. I was in a terrible snowstorm with it and I was stuck to the road the entie trip home, everyone around me was not! I feel very safe when I am in this SUV, and and very happy to own it.
Tahoe 2003 Z71
Was very suprised when I took this vehicle on it's first 500 mile trip how comfortable and efficient. 17.8 Milage and average speed of 54 mph. Bose radio and HVAC system is excellent. noisy in the front end at 70 mph is may only gripe.
1999 taheo
great Vech. i would buy another & another over a ford anyday!
03 Z71 happy owner
Vehicle equipped with 5.3L and 4.10 gears, gas mileage 14 city and 18 highway, great performance, very comfortable ride, great brakes, as what every states cheap plastics in lower dash area, high quality leather interior equivalent to infiniti ive owned, computer for gas mileage generally right on, worst gas mileage is 12.8 when driving 1 mile trips, great over all vehicle highly recommended
Exelente!
THE TAHOE IS THE BEST CAR AND I GOT A GREAT DEAL FROM HEINRICH CHEVROLET IN LOCKPORT NY! ASK FOR CARLOS RODRIGUEZ!
In Love with my car!!
I feel SOOOOO safe when I drive my 2004 Chevy Tahoe. The comfort of this vehicle is like NO OTHER car I have ever had. I especially adore the DUAL temp and the ease of getting in and out of the car, and the location of all the buttons. They are all in very convenient spot so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road for more than a second. I also feel extra safe with my On-Star Program and built-in cell phone. I know that my passengers and I could get help immediately if anything were to tragicly happen.
The perfect SUV 4 me
Well I just like the performance of the tahoe my kids are always having fun and i know that we are safe with the equiped with Onstar i really like that.
Why buy a Tahoe?
Tahoe is nice, but it comes at a high price. Right now the truck is at the dealer because I'm getting water in the truck after I use the A/C or after driving in the rain. Carpets are soaked and stained. Should NOT have a 1960's problem in 2003. FIX IT! I have owned a bunch of Pontiac's and Chevy's in the past and to be honest, I'm done with GM! Looking at a Seqouia now and dumping the Tahoe. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Did you outsource parts from India or China???? Also had a front axle leak, knocking sound on startup and some drivetrain noises. The list goes on...
love a tahoe
I have only had my Tahoe for a few months. I love it. I would suggest it to anyone. I had no special reason to purchase it. I liked the way it looked and I loved the way it drove. It has plenty of room, if needed.
Pat's Tahoe
I love the comfort of it's handling. the interior is very lush as well as comfortable
Z71 Tahoe
Fantastic suv. everything is a 9 or 10 on a scale of 10 except gas mileage, kinda sucks in that area. But then again that's what kind of engine you need to surpass your other expectations. I'd buy another one.
WDQ
BEST VEHICLE I EVER PURCHASED !!
Tahoe Reviewed
Some helpful questions to ask when purchasing a Chevy Tahoe: 1. Why do you want a SUV? 4-wheel drive is an advantage in the winter. 2. Tahoe is heavy and has poor gas mileage. Are you driving long distances. I travel 250 miles on the weekends and the gas consumption is higher. 3. Do you have a big family? I have five in my family and Tahoe is roomer than most.
2004 Tahoe LT Chevy
My 1998 TahoeLT was excellent. My 2004 Tahoe LT is outstanding.
Hayles
Room enough for the whole family. Fun to drive and a since os being secure and safe.
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).

Gas mileage was bad at first, but has gotten much better. Getting about 16.5 mpg which is very good for the size. Ride is awesome. Quiet ride.
Segment Leader
Very satisfied w/the LS. Upgrades include: Bose system, leather, Sun Safe and something, towing pkg, 17" wheels, LS Prf'd, 5.3 engine, and 3rd row seating (saleman stressed it b/c of resale value). The LS makes the commute almost enjoyable. The ride is non-SUV-like as the bumps seem to dissappear. Looked at other vehicles at this price point (cars and SUVs) and concluded the Cheverolet offered more vehicle for the $$$.
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
heated seats
I love my tahoe. The only comment I have is that the controls for the heated seats are easily bumped on and the next thing you know your back is on fire. It is funny when it happens to everyone but you.
An SUV that drives like a Car
The commerical tells it all. When the SUV parks between all those motorcycles, is exactly how this handles. Best car I have owned, recommend it to anyone.
THE TAHOE
We have a two year old and a ten year old, that have to be separated to enjoy any trip. Now traveling is a breeze with the comfort of any luxury vehicle. The comfort and ease of driving is comparable to none other.
BHH Review
My Tahoe is by far the best SUV I have owned. I love the driving comfort and it's ability to get up and go. (When needed, of course!) Very comfortable and quiet ride.
2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71
We purchased the Tahoe for my wife but I like it so much that I rarely drive my own SUV. Drives great for such a large vehicle . However, I don't recommend exceeding the speed limit by much on sweeping mountain turns - I always feel on the edge of falling off the mountain. Other than a recurring clunk in the steering column (no effect on performance) the build quality has been excellent. If you have leather the heated seats are a must in cold weather.
Tahoe is the way to go!
I highly reccomend the Tahoe Lt 4x4. It is very very comfertable and is not only a great family car, but a fun toy too! The leather heated seats help so much with back pain. The heat eases it away. The dvd/tv is great to keep the kids busy while going on very long trips.I had a sun roof put in by the dealer which is nice. I can look up at the stars and enjoy!!! The only not so good thing is the trunk space. It is very limited, but if you dont need the very back seats you can fold them down and it makes more room. So its not that big of a deal. (The LT seats 8 and the Z71 seats only 5.) I love my tahoe !!!!
My 2004 Tahoe Z71
I ordered this truck March 1st, and received it on March 30, 2004. Pretrty good turn around. Was worth the wait to get what I wanted. VERY NICE!
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.
Love my new Tahoe
I shopped and shopped for the Tahoe that I wanted. I wanted the dark gray exterior with tan leather interior. I finally found it in samll dealership a two hour drive from my home. we settled a deal by fax and phone. They stayed open late so I could drive down and get it. drove it back enjoying all of the new features, XM radio, adjustable pedals and loving the smell of that new leather. I love how high I sit (my other car being an Audi A4) i really can not say enough about how much I love this new vehicle.
very good
it has good handling
tahoe
nice vehicle...you should buy one.
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
Our Tahoe
Sold the Toyota, was always in the shop.The Tahoe has exceeded our expectations of an American vehicle. My wife and I will not buy another off shore vehicle.
Tahoe is a wonderful 4 wheel
We got our tahoe in 2000. Our son has off roaded it; and this car has not been any trouble at all. It is roomy and very very comfortable in the front or back. we look forward to purchasing our 2004. : ) As far as interior goes it is great Linda
Excellent value for luxury SUV
Extremely happy with the vehicle. Has everything Love IT! PROUD OWNER and get alot of compliments.
Typical GM
I bought this Tahoe a few years ago with around 40K miles on it. The speedometer broke at 60K, and shortly after GM recalled them, but by that time I was at 71K, so they would not refund me the $600. Overall it is comfortable, and fun to drive. Typical GM though, many interior lights are burned out, and everything is starting to rattle. Other than that, there have been no major problems.
Fantastic vehicle
I've owned BMWs, Mercedes,Citroen and a host of american cars.I absolutely love my Tahoe and cant think of another vehicle that I'd trade it for. Gas milege could be a little better but, I 'll settle for marginal gas mileage for all the other things I like. The Tahoe has a European car like ride but still feels good off the road. Idont think that the Cadillac or the GMC dollar fkor dollar offer more SUV. I'll stick with my Tahoe.
My second 4X4 Tahoe
I was looking for a new 2003 4X4 Tahoe to replace my 1995 4X4 Tahoe. I had over 100,000 miles on the '95 with no major problems since new. I was just looking to upgrade. I bought the 2003 without even driving it. It had all the bells and whistles and I was more than pleased. Better steering, took the bumps better, better mileage and a lot better excelleration than the '95. It was hard for me to spend more money on a car than I spent on my house 28 years ago. But I'm not sorry I did.
Chevrolet Tahoe
I've had three Suburbans and two Tahoes in the last few years. I love them both.
