2003 Chevrolet Tahoe consumer reviews

This car was my first car and I literally never want to get rid of it. It’s so comfortable, easy to maneuver, and safe (been in 2 accidents, not a scratch). Fits so much in the back. No real complaints besides the gas this beast needs. Cheap to fix.

I bought my 2003 Tahoe LS 4x4 new, it has about 184,000 miles on it now. A lot of those miles have been towing boats, trailers, and race cars. This vehicle is the best, most comfortable, and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned with minimal issues. I did have to replace the transmission but that's understandable with the towing I do. I did replace the tranny cooler with a giant RV cooler not long after buying it, the tranny never gets hot even when towing a 7200LB boat/trailer for 5-8 hour trips. I highly recommend these vehicles if you can find one that hasn't been destroyed.

Bought my 2003 Tahoe LT, second hand in Sweden.. its an US import from 2018. Had to tinker with the parkingbrake and put in new bolts to the exhaust manifolds and make an general overhaul of fluids, filters ignitors.. etc. Once that was done it has been an EXELLENT Suv. It always start and runs really nice. It stops on a dime and is perfect in the winter (with 4-wheel drive mode on, else it it swings its rear end out in every corner) Drawbacks; the main frame is corroding away from inside and out.. if even a thin layer of anticorrosion wax had been applied from new that would not have happend. Sills are on their way as well. It has also that problem with "Chevy shake" at 70mph. Its either the torosion damper behind the transfercase or the steel bellt inside the transfercase (resonance) that causes this.. has checked out EVERYTHING else with no help. Else its fantastic. On my way to buy an prestine year 2005LT as the only replacement i can think of..

I bought a used 2003 Z71 with 109k miles on it for the purpose of transporting giant breed dogs and had it for 5 years until it got totaled in an accident with 148k miles on it. That car saved my life and I miss it to this day. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I took it down some of the most remote roads in North America, used it to haul a trailer, and for every day commuting. That car was THE most reliable car I have ever had. I never worried about it breaking down and leaving me stranded, nor did I worry about it in heavy snow. Worth every penny.

Currently with 361,000 miles.. absolutely no dash lights on...strong towing still and possibly the best motor designed with the 5.3, V8. I'm 6'5" so I do have leg room issues. I'd take it cross country today as it still has excellent performance.

A fabulous vehicle but, 34,000 is outrageous. If it is in Mint condition book value for a 2003 is under $5,000. Brand new a 2003 would sell for $6,000.

I was the General Sales Manager at a local Chevrolet dealership in 2003 when I bought my new Z71 Tahoe. It now has 297802 miles on it, in July of 2022. It has really been a great vehicle. Being in the automotive industry, I had the opportunity to drive many different makes and models, and I've never regretted my choice.

This is a great running truck. Great for hauling and has towing package. This truck does not make any unusual noises. Never had a problem with it.

I love my car so far. Super spacious and plenty of room for the kids as well as stuff to go in the very back.

Tons of room, super reliable, great sound system, only issue I’ve ever had is to replace the water pump so it’s brand new, some minor bugs (scratches, passenger window doesn’t work, chipped paint) but otherwise a super dependable car. Recently drove to Mexico, so it’s running great. Hoped to hold onto it a little longer but need the money.
