Great SUV

We have the LT model, now with over 108,000 miles. It has been a very reliable vehicle and has done absolutely everything we have asked of it. It is a rare event to be in the shop for a repair. Great for towing, easy enough to park, and great flexibility with the removable 3rd row seats. Just put on a new set of Mich LTX MS and she rides comfortable and quietly. It is also E85 compatible, which we buy maybe 10-20% of the time. The only thing that is a bit of a drawback is the MPG.

comfort w/reliability

Have owned my 2002 Tahoe LT since Nov. of 2001. Regular maintenance has been my only expense with nothing breaking down, ever. Cabin comfort is the best, and the heated seats, air & heat all still work great. I have 100k miles on it now, & believe it will still go strong for quite a bit longer.

Best Seats of ANY vehicle

I have problems with my back and neck, and was really looking for an SUV with comfortable seats. I drove just about every brand of vehicle including Jeep, Volvo, Land Rover, BMW, and Mercedes. I finally settled on a Chevy Tahoe. The leather seats are incredibly comfortable, and the ride is extremely smooth. The Tahoe is also very easy to steer and handle. The whole family loves it. Everyone is comfortable (even in the huge back seats), and the ride is so peaceful that my passengers frequently end up snoozing.

Most reliable and best automobile I've ever owned

With four children always engaged in activities and myself as well everyone teased that I was indeed the picture of a Minni Van ad. No offense to those who love them, they are quite niffty and a respectful nod to all my friends who own them. I wanted more and I needed more! The 2002 Tahoe I purchased two years ago now carries 97,000 mile and still going strong. I keep up regular maintanence and have had no problems ever! I live in the mountains and incounter some mild off road issues and seasonal weather. I always feel safe and comfortable, not to mention stylish! Our family of seven fits comfortably and we often have extra passangers without any problems. I have a third row seat and when filled to capacity storage is a bit of an issue. Compared to my friend's Escalade my Tahoe is in the same class. It's smooth, easy to handle, comfortable, tough like the truck it is, classy like a car, and is not the typical box on wheels. Let's face it Gm, Chevy, Cadillac What's the basic difference? I've owned all three and my 2002 Tahoe is one nice ride! I wanted the biggest SUV I could get but, for the price, fuel economy, safety, and reliability this purchase was just the best choice for my family and I would purchase another!

Best vehicle Ive owned

We almost got a Sequoia since we liked the interior better - however, not 8K more than we paid for our LT Tahoe. 5 years later and we like the Tahoe better - it is the most comfortable vehicle Ive ever been in - When gas prices were high we looked at minivans but the seats in the Tahoe kept us from making any change. No issues and 95K miles - Runs great - holds everything - tows almost anything - looks great. Only thing we'd changed is the removeable 3rd row - if that folded flat it would be perfect. Gas mileage is ~14-15 around town and 17 on the highway.

Best Car I Own

its a smaller version of the suburban but its still good well thats all i can say about it that its excellent. I haven't had any problems with mine, it has plenty of room for kids without the whole minivan look. Its very stylish and I love being able to take out the third row when I want and how the back seat lays down half way. I've used that feature plenty of times!!"

I Love It!!

Always shop around and don't be afraid to buy it from a private party. I haven't had any problems with mine, it has plenty of room for kids without the whole minivan look. Its very stylish and I love being able to take out the third row when I want and how the back seat lays down half way. I've used that feature plenty of times!!
