Definitely worth buying if inspected before hand

My 2013 Tahoe LTZ w/ 143k miles is the best Chevy vehicle I’ve owned yet, for the last 20k miles I’ve owned it’s been very reliable, has never left me stranded. the only thing I do not care for is the afm to drop into 4 cyl mode, putting trans into manual 5 works like a charm to keep all 8 cylinders running up to 60mph. Working on these vehicles yourself is really easy for routine maintenance (except for the transmission), I’ve replaced a lot of stuff and fresh tune up on mine because she’s getting up there in mileage and I want to make sure she is going to be a top performer for the long run. Overall 9/10 recommend this Vehicle

Very reliable

This vehicle met all my expectations, and all my family needs. As long as I have been able to drive I haven't had any other vehicle that lived up to my expectations.

A solid reliable performer and tow vehicle.

Our Tahoe has opened up the entire US to us towing our travel trailer. For its size it is economical to own and provides great TY carrying capacity as well as a comfortable ride.

Great SUV!

I traded in my 2011 BMW 328i xDrive for this Tahoe, and it was so worth it. The beemer has so many issues and my DH was sick and tired of working on it all the time. Plus the teenagers love the extra room and rear heated seats. Gets about the gas mileage I was expecting, not great but not terrible either, I mean, it is a full size SUV . It drives great too, turns a lot sharper than I figured it would. Only thing I would really complain about is that it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay. I still have to plug my iPhone up to access music/podcasts/etc. and I’m not 100% sure yet, but the Bluetooth for calls may need the phone to be plugged up also. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m not sure yet... I always plug my phone up anyway just out of habit from my beemer, so it’s not a huge dealbreaker for me. All in all, I would definitely buy this model again, except maybe I’d get a 4x4 since we haul a lot of jet skis and stuff.

Slightly Disappointed

I own a 2013 Tahoe LT. Many dealerships were sold aftermarket stereo/navigation systems that were made to look stock but offered those extra conveniences, allowing them to see the Tahoe’s for more. Unfortunately, they were unreliable and didn’t end up working long term. That’s what my current Tahoe had (realized after I purchased it). Fortunately, the dealership replaced it and everything runs smoothly now. I’d recommend definitely looking into that when you’re in the market for 2012-2014 models. Right after we purchased this car, I pulled off the side of the road but it was snowy and ended up getting stuck in the snow! It was maybe about 6 inches deep, but slushy. I figured with the 4X4 we’d be fine, but the car was terrible in the snow and we ended up needing to be pulled out by a town truck. As far as gas mileage, I get about 10-12mpg around town. Stock tires and wheels. This amounts to a fuel bill of about $400/month. The handling/driving of the Tahoe feels slow to respond and basically handles about as well as my uncle’s big, slow boat handles. Comfort is excellent. It’s roomy and the dual climate zones help. Third row is convenient and big, easy to handle. Overall, if I got beefier tires for better snow traction and was able to just use it as a winter vehicle, it’d be perfect. Otherwise I don’t recommend this as a primary vehicle.

2013 Chevy Tahoe Police SUV

This Tahoe runs great. I’ve had no issues whatsoever, been serviced regularly, up to date registration. I’m the one and only owner and have title in hand. The only thing wrong is the cosmetic hail damage. It’s mostly on the driver’s side and you have to be up close to notice it. It moves! I still have factory police package rims if you want that look. Let me know what you think.

Love this vehicle

It has a great look and the interior/layout is awesome. This one has the bucket 2nd row, which provide easy access to the 3rd row of seating.

Average

No major problems, oil cooler line leak and the trailer brake had to be replaced under warranty. Nice vehicle but never saw over 15mpg, and it was slow to accelerate (my 2002 Tahoe is quicker). Nice but not worth the price tag.
