Nice, but choose options carefully
I had, and loved, a 2007 GMC Yukon years ago, and recently traded my 2014 Durango with loads of miles for this Tahoe. I love the exterior appearance. The front and middle seats are SUPER comfy, but the third row sits too close to the floor to accommodate anyone but kids. I don’t mind the trade off of the truck ride for the truck capability, but wouldn’t get the 22” wheels. They help with handling, but they make the ride a little harsh. Turning radius is amazingly tight for a big vehicle, making it easy to turn around. The rear view camera and parking sensors help infrequent drivers of the Tahoe more comfortable parking it. The lane departure system is a little obnoxious, nudging the wheel to put you back in the lane. Chevy/GM has done a nice job of improving the gas mileage over the years, but I feel like I’m filling the tank a lot due to the mileage and gas tank size. I didn’t have that issue with the Durango. The loading height at the rear hatch is pretty high. I’m tall, so no big issue, but I notice my wife struggle with it when she borrows it. The instrument panel and controls are well thought out, and all of the electronics are easy enough to figure out and use. I bought this to haul people and stuff, and tow a trailer once in a while. If I didn’t need to tow the trailer, I’d consider another V6 Durango or maybe the Traverse.
The Tahoe is no longer top-of-the-line.
We have owned a Sierra Denali, three Silverado‘s, a Yukon Denali and now a Tahoe. I went from the Yukon to an Expedition for 2 years, but after numerous small things breaking on the Expedition, I was thrilled to get rid of it and purchase a 2017 Tahoe. Beautiful car, smooth ride, But unfortunately it is clear that the quality is not there anymore. We are at 55,000 miles And it is now in the shop for the third time with fuel injection issues and injectors need to be replaced. Since we are Just out of our certified warranty, they cost $1300 each. I have had to service managers from two different dealerships tell me that this is a known issue and to expect to replace all eight of them eventually. My car went into the shop December 14 came home for one day and went right back in and here we are with it still in the shop on January 7. This is three weeks with no car. We have been told that it is GM’s policy that if you were outside of warranty, no loaner car will be issued no matter how long they keep your car. on the assembly line, they are putting in faulty injectors and it will be your responsibility to pay to replace them as they go bad. We have gone round and round and I am so extremely disappointed by Customer Care. They keep calling me telling me they have contacted the dealership for info and the dealership has not received one call from them. The dealership has contacted GM and is unable to get us any cost assistance even though this is a known issue. As for the air conditioning issues I see on these reviews, this is why my neighbor says she got rid of her 2017 Tahoe. The AC kept breaking and they kept having to pay to fix it. These cars are too expensive to be having to dump money into the house this early on. We have always bought GM vehicles because they are reliable and well-made cars. Unfortunately, I am going to get rid of this one and check out some other options for full-size SUVs. So disgusted at the amount of time and money that has been spent on this car I was so excited to have. If you are looking for a safe and dependable car for towing around kids or family road trips, I don’t recommend the Tahoe!

The Tahoe should be called a financial mistake
We bought our Tahoe brand new the cream of the crop with a $70,000 price tag! 6.2 engine 10 speed transmission we thought we could go fast and love it, at first we did! We bought it in May I could roll the window down and feel the breeze, than June hits its hot in that sucker. I crank up the a/c it seemingly gets hotter in that sucker! I called the dealer they look into it oops they forgot to put refrigerant in it. Simple fix things are going good and cooling down. One day I open the back door and the seal falls off, just falls the eff off! Kill me who "forgot" the clips on the door seal?! Chevrolet did, that's who. Next thing I know 2 body bolts have wore holes in the carpet. Help me Jesus I'm getting frustrated but the local dealer gets it fixed for me. We go a solid 5 months no problems we fall back in love with a $70,000 mistake. Than it happens I back out of the drive I'm on the road put it in drive and NOTHING happens I calmly shift to neutral and try again and BOOM it slams into drive with a big thud and i eat the steering wheel. I start to panic that maybe that did not just happen and I'm crazy. I gather some witness to confirm I'm not crazy, no indeed I am not. Chevrolet thinks I'm crazy it "never" happened to them but it happens to me 5 plus times a week. This sadly will be my last Chevy product, I can buy the same [non-permissible content removed] quality for half the money going with another manufacture. If you have $70,000 to blow the new Tahoe is a great choice!

First Chevy in 35 Years!
It has been a long time since I last owned a GM product. After driving the Tahoe, there were a number of things that appealed to me: 1. excellent front seats, 2. very good instrumentation, 3. good quality interior materials, 4. a great highway cruiser and quiet too, and 5. the front/rear/rear cross traffic sensors. I have to be honest though, the standard headlights are awful. During my multiple test drives in the Spring, it was never dark enough for me to evaluate the headlights. There is absolutely no excuse for such poor low beam headlights on such an expensive vehicle. If I don't keep the car for more than a year or two, it will be because of the headlights. Dinged my overall review because of the headlights. Update 12/19/18 - reiterating that the headlights are awful for a vehicle in its price class. Update 6/19/19 - sold the car. Night driving with poor headlights is dangerous. Headlights were abominable. Unbelievably poor headlights for such an expensive vehicle.

SADD Chevy!
Been having my 2016 year and half. Nothing but problems. After 8 months car wouldn’t start had to call triple A and get jumpstart several times. Chevy said bad battery but wanted me to pay. Next automatic lift gate stop working, had repaired and stop working again. Next touchscreen stop responding to touch. Next air condition vents keep popping out in backseat area. NOW air conditioner is blowing hot air! Soo angry!! Buyer Beware!!
