First American car I've owned in 20 years and after 1 year, I couldn't be happier. Loved my Sequoia, but the "new" version is ugly and WAY outdated already with a terrible interior. The Tahoe feel solid, drives quiet and smooth, and has great tech, looks great inside and out. Pro's: Quality, ergonomic controls, great tech/options for the price, super comfortable, looks great! Con's: Fair MPG, I'm getting about 16 with mostly city driving. Can't get a grey leather interior (the best) with the LTZ model. Can't set temperature to hot on heater when remote starting (isn't that the point?!). Back cargo area is OK, but would be fantastic if floor wasn't raised up 5 inches.

I was deciding between a Land Rover LR4, Toyota Land Cruiser or Sequoia, Mercedes GL series, Volvo XC90 and BMW X5. So, a wide range of choices. I test drove them all except the Mercedes. I have owned 2 Mercedes vehicles before, and I know what I am getting. I really couldn't get past the looks of the Mercedes. I hate, I mean HATE the minivan-ification of most SUVs. I owned a Honda Pilot when they first came out and they now look like an ugly sister to the Odyssey. My SUV of choice since 2005 has been a 2005 and a 2010 XC90, both top of the line decked out when purchased. Here is why I did not buy the other models and chose the Trailblazer. LAND ROVER: LR4, their sales people are freaks and they are super paranoid about selling to someone who will export to China. They made me sitter for 45 minutes while they googles by house and e-mail address. Then, they had so many in stock, but only offered MSRP, unlike dealerships a bit further away with half their inventory. They also lowballed my on my trade-in. No thank you. Car itself was cute, but even more of a gas guzzler than the Tahoe. Controls were okay, technology was not intuitive or very thoughtful. TOYOTA SEQUIOA: I loved the cargo space, but that was about it. Cheap controls and interior, the engine is super loud when accelerating fast. The Land Cruiser 3rd row seats doesn't even fold!!! I need cargo space. BMW SUV love that it comes in diesel, but try to find one, and the cargo space SUCKS! Finally, the Volvo. My local dealership's service department has gone way downhill fast, but mostly I drove the new XC90 and HATED IT!!! I was very surprised because I was this close to ordering one sight unseen like I had my other two Volvos. The interior contains no remnants of the Volvo button system. It is all digital and not intuitive at all. They few buttons that do remain are super cheap looking, I mean very ugly. Even the new remote key is cheap and ugly looking. My one I traded in was the last year it had a V8, and the acceleration was mediocre. I was very disappointed. The Tahoe plusses: GREAT INTERFACE!!!! I don't think you need to be tech savvy to get it, but there are two modes in my LTZ and you just need to choose one or the other. There are still enough knobs and buttons so you don't feel like you are a slave to the touchscreen. The bells and whistles are wonderful. The interface can connect with your iPhone and you can see and hear and send (verbal) messages, etc. The 2016 seats are truly COOLING (unlike the BMW). I think the display and controls are really well laid out and look durable and classy. I needed a vehicle with AWD/4WD and this has it. The cargo space is good but it is a bit high, and I am short. I LOVE the second row captains chairs that have hated seats!!! And, it doesn't look like a freaking minivan!!! I was surprised that they XC90 won the awards that it has, it really sucks. I was also supposed at the Tahoe's bad review. There is no accounting for taste. I suggest you test drive and price them out according to your own must haves. I LOVE my Tahoe.

Thought I would try a smaller SUV for more economic efficiency, so I traded in my 2009 Suburban (at 186,000 miles) a year ago for a Toyota 4-Runner, Limited Edition. While it was a nice vehicle, it never got over 18 mph. My suburban routinely got 20+ mpg hwy. Also, the 4-Runner didn't have near the "creature comforts" tht my new Tahoe has. Chevrolet tech gadgets, comfort, and control panel is far superior to the 4-Runner. My new 2016 Tahoe LT feels like home!

I have had a rough idle since about 8,000 miles. I have had it worked on at the dealership and they added shims to the motor mounts. That didn't change anything. It seemed like it might even be worse after they shimmed the motor mounts. They say there's nothing else wrong or it would show up on the computer. After months of no answers from the dealer I searched online and found that it is a common problem with GM SUV's. The bottom line is that GM says there's nothing wrong and it runs fine. When you spend over $50,000 for a vehicle you don't want something that idles rough. I've had passengers that commented on the rough idle because they thought something was wrong. Everybody thinks something is wrong except GM. I also had to have all of the window appliques replaced and now there is a recall on the air bags. One other issue is that you cannot recycle cabin air unless you are using AC. Any other setting will pull outside air which is gross when you are stuck in traffic and there is a lot of exhaust. It's like having the windows down. Other than those issues it's a pretty nice vehicle.

the safety assist features take time to get used to. The AC fan noise even at the lowest level is loud. I know that in prior vehicles if we have the AC at the lowest fan setting you will not be able to hear it going.
