2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
I have to admit GM did a good job with creating this 16 Tahoe, I originally had it is cousin the 2010 Yukon but got rid of it and I love it but figured it was time for a change; so I bought 2016 Tahoe LS; the other models were out of my budget. Overall, I am happy with the 16 Tahoe. I would have bought the 15 Tahoe but for a some reason General Motor thought it was a good idea to have … a cell phone like screen in the LS models and not a screen that we can actually see plus the fact that in order to really utilize a navigation app (which I may add did not come with) had to plug your phone into the cigarette lighter to project the navigation tool you want to use on this IPhone like screen. By far, in my opinion was FUBAR design.
The 2016 Model however has a bigger screen and the navigation system however the navigation system is offered through ONSTAR which in a way is crazy because it forces you to really have a contract with ONSTAR; so in discovering this, I asked the question after the fact, what if you don't want to afford ONSTAR, there (dealership) said you can can plug it into a USB defice and project the visual on the BIGGER screen the comes with the LS models.
Overall, that is the only flaw that I have with the 2016 models; however I did give it a passing thought about getting the LT and LTZ models but after really thinking about it and test driving the other two, there was not really a whole lot of differences, except for leather seats, a couple extra speakers and a tow package.
LS Model is a perfect fit for most people

UPDATE: One of the black plastic pieces on the outside of the door popped off from the wind. It was easily fixed with a stronger glue. No other issues since then. This is still a great vehicle and still recommend to others interested in buying a Tahoe.
ORIGINAL: Before buying this SUV you should really come to grips that you are not purchasing a sports car or sports type SUV. With that … being said, I have purchased 11 vehicles over the years and I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LS. The only difference between the base LS and the top of the line models is basically leather and a few extra gimmicks such as heads-up display. If you can live without the extras, the LS is the way to go for price point. Superior comfort and the cabin is surprisingly quiet. I'm 6'4" and have plenty leg room in the front and rear seat of my Tahoe. If you're in the market for a nice large SUV with plenty of room and towing capacity, I recommend looking at all trim levels of the Tahoe before jumping at the LTZ or LT because the LS might be able to satisfy what you need and save you over $20,000.00.
Don’t Buy!!

2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
Absolutely Awful!! Rides rougher than a sled, electronics lethargic! Transmission shifting weird! Last Chevy I’ll purchase after forty yrs of loyalty I’m just disgusted! It rides so rough it broke the ac condenser and is beginning to develope squeaking in the cabin after 20k miles! Please avoid for your own sake!

2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
all electrical issues major radio went out 3x finding out their is a recall, transmission jerky feels like goin to die when coming to a stop, replaced head light, air condiotning system went out and water drips heavily from right gear shift when using air conditioning, air filter is directly facing right gear shift not normal i believe is a factory defect, top interior filters fall out … often not sure why or maybe because they do not fit properly the battery to this extra large vehicle is only good for 3 years or 36,000 miles was told cannot handle all tahoe elecrtical system (dont know what that means) to much and they have seen a lot of vehicles come in, needed a software update for radio if radio doesnt work back camera doesnt ignition can be affected doors, top right exterior fin had to be replaced became loose from driving on the freeway flapping all the way home.. can go on and on but im sure everyone has same problems
