Explore the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

One of the most dependable vehicles I've owned.

Loved this truck... Did everything I needed and more. This thing was a tank, 4WD would take you almost anywhere because the weight made for good traction. Put 254,000 miles on it before it needed a rebuild. Rebuilt the engine and transmission and there was 290,000 miles on it when I sold it. Sold only because we got a smaller SUV with better gas mileage...

2005 Tahoe is a great Car

My Tahoe Z71 is the most reliable cars I've owned. Even after 12 years, the car still runs great and all the electrical components still work like new.

Best car I've ever owned

I absolutely love the reliability and comfort of the Tahoe! Big enough for our family but not ginormous.

Impressive performance

I'm totally impressed by the power and strength of this truck. If I knew it was so powerful, I've would've purchase it long ago.

So far, So good

Bought new. Eleven years later: 186k miles. Fuel, oil, filters, tires, battery & RF wheel bearing assembly have been my only expenses. The third-row seats and spare tire are a little difficult to deal with.

Fantastic Family Vehicle

Bought this 2005 southern vehicle to replace our 2000 Suburban which we bought new and had 235,000 on it. The dependability of these vehicles is second to none. Previously had a 2001 Tahoe that I used for business, and was still going strong when I sold it with 287,000 miles. Love the Autoride suspension - had that on my 01 also, and the ride & handling it provides is tremendous.
