Great vehicle

Over all a great car. Comfortable, roomy, reliable and a multi use vehicle. Can be used as a daily driver, family car, tow vehicle etc. The only negative is fuel economy, but when buying one of these that's to be expected and it's still cheaper to own this then pay insurance and upkeep on a econo car and a truck for your other needs.

I am in love with my car!

I love this car so much! I am so glad I finally got this car. I had been wanting a Chevy Tahoe for years and I never knew i would be in one at 21 years of age. It met my needs. It drives very smooth, great mileage and I feel very safe in this Particular vehicle. A funny joke i have to tell is that I work for a soda water company for dealerships and the day before I bought this car I noticed a sign on my supervisors desk that said FORD = Found on the road dead, should of bought of bought of Chevy. When I say my previous 05 Ford musing was sold to and was a compete death trap I am not lying. I should have bought a Chevy FIRST. I love this car so much and I hope to hold on to it for a very long time.

A car that will last you forever!

I've had 3 Tahoes so far and they have all impressed me. Super comfortable, durable, and you can do just about anything with them. Tow a boat - check, tow a car on a trailer - check, carry 9 people to Great Adventure - check, drive to work - check.....you get the point. I'm now a proud Cadillac Escalade owner. GM makes great trucks!

Do not buy this vehicle.

Too many motor problems. This is my second one and I’ve experienced the exact same problems with this vehicle. The 5.3 engine is trash. You will regret buying this vehicle.

Love the ride and space

Met all my needs. Four wheel drive 😎✊🏾👊🏿👍🏿 Loved it. Sits high enough for a wonderful view and ride. V8 motor was powerful and easy to work on.

Great vehicle and very reliables!

I absolutely love my Z-71 Tahoe. It is fun to drive and has never given a moments trouble other than routine issues that are expected given the mileage or time. If the new ones didn’t look like a toaster on wheels I would consider a new one. If the new trucks didn’t look like the tail end of hard times I would likely buy one of those as well. Truly disappointed with Chevy! Been a bow tie fan since 1967 and it saddens me to see the company finally lose what I have always considered a superior design and timeless styling fade away. HD trucks are hideous for 2019! Can’t imagine them falling in sales just based on appearance. I am done with GM after 45 years of ownership.

Great family hauler

Fantastic car,very reliable. Styling was top notch and looks better than a lot of newer SUV's on the market today. Interior is a little cheap, lots of plastic and vinyl. Door handles are chrome plated and it chips off from every day use. It didn't come with Bluetooth but I did add it after market. Recently sold mine and the only thing that ever failed on it was the transmission at 140000. Replaced it and vehicle was still running strong at 176000+ when I sold it. Great vehicle!
