Explore the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe

Great Family SUV

I have owned a 2003 Tahoe since they first came out. It now has over 218,000 on it and we have had only minor problems. It's super comfy and is a joy to drive. Not for people who want a nice city drive because they are gas guzzlers. Ours is not a 4WD but my children treat as if a Jeep. Completely reliable, won't find many on the side of the road. We love our Chevy!

Tahoe

This SUV in the z71 edition is best in class and is far better in gas mileage than the Ford I got rid of.

Great SUV

Have the LT with leather seats. Power drivers seat doesn't work at all. Dash and radio buttons are peeling. Very reliable truck with over 250,000 miles and still running strong. Optional Bose system is great.

Never turning away.

Chevy Tahoe?s are amazing vehicles. They will pull as much as a normal 1500 Chevy, with a 5.3L V8 my truck has plenty or pep and performance for racers and sporty people. It is also strong and roomy great for a work vehicle, and a farm vehicle. Including folding down seats that lay flat will leave 6 feet of room for anything. and with the option of a 3rd row seat it can fit up to 9 people if you have a bench seat in the front. 8 people with the capton chair. This vehicle is also very sharp looking! Nothing like a minivan for the people that refuse the soccer mom look. The only down side to this amazing vehicle is the fuel mileage. I am getting 14.8. But there are ways to improve that. So you can get at least 17 mpg.

Love my Tahoe

I have an 03 Tahoe, and really the only 2 complaints I have is the cd changer went out in it full of cd's. and the gas mileage. It cools off quickly, handles nicely and very comfy. I have owned it for a yr and half and it has never left me stranded.

Safest car I've ever owned

Had a 2003 tahoe. I was t boned twice once while I was 8 months pregnant, i walked away with out a scratch. This winter it snowed really hard and it had frozen over night the next day I was driving down the road hit a patch of ice and slide sideways into a tree(on the side of a mountain) on the front passenger. Totaled the thing but once again walked away without a scratch.. If you ever had wanted a suv that you felt protected it would be a tahoe.. My daughter, husband, and I are walking proof.. The only thing that got me was how quick gas ran out, and the price to fill it back up.. Loved the room and how all the seats(besides the 2 front ones) folded down. Awesome handling. And 4wd worked awesome.. I would highly recommend to a friend..

Z71 Driver

This truck has performed great. Whether its work or play it does what I need it to do. "Auto 4X" is great in the rain. If the rear breaks loose around a corner or pulling out into traffic, the auto 4X will engage and get you going in the right direction.

Most comfortable vehicle...

The 2003 Tahoe Z71 I owned for 8 years was the best riding, quietest vehicle I ever owned. Not the fastest compared to a Z28 Camero, but it was really fast and would get up and go when you needed to merge onto the interstate. Heated leather seats and the suspension made it ride like a limo. All controls within easy reach. Fold down rear seats made it extrememly versatile. Purchased as a work vehicle for phamaceutical sales, it was perfect and beat the heck out of a typical Taurus for a company car. I miss it!

I love my Tahoe even with gas prices being high

My 2003 Tahoe has never given me an ounce of worry. I purchased in late 2002 and have driven it every day since. No problems !!! It manuvers like a small suv, my husband has a 2004 chevy silverado 4 door- big difference in handling and ride. We take our Tahoe everywhere- the ride is smooth and comfortable.
