Tahoe — great family vehicle...superb on family trips...tires are expensive...gas mileage could be much much much better...only gets about eighteen miles per gallon on the highway...if you need a family car this is a nice one to have. love the ONSTAR and the navigation system has saved me several times.

Love It! — I love my Tahoe. With a family of five, it carries all of us and friends. I would prefer to get better gas mileage but don't want to sacrifice the space! No major mechanical issues. Would highly recommend if you need the space!

Chevy Tahoe — I don't dislike anything about the car. It's perfect. It runs good, air conditioning is good. XM Radio, CD Player, Radio in the back seat, seat warmers. This car is really fun to drive especially when going fast because you don't feel like bumps you feel that rush of awesomeness.

Tows a camper well, very comfortable, 4WD is good in the snow, spacious.

Cons

Wife can't seem to drive it to save MPG, but that's her fault. Otherwise I really like it.

The Color Is Amazing, Rides Nice, Looks Good. — This is a 2005 Tahoe Z71 with the 5.3L and 3.42 gears. Grey leather, all the options except DVD Nav up front. Power everything you can think of. So far no big trips but it has towed our camper very well and it still rides great even with the addition of some Load "E" rated tires. I take in on vacation in a few weeks, full review after.

2005 Tahoe Lt — Pretty happy that we got it used with just 30K miles on it. Local one-owner trade in that replaced a 2001 Durango that had 149K miles on it. Had previously owned a 2001 Tahoe and always said I wanted to get back into one.

Great Vehicle Until About Two Years Ago. — Couldn't ask for a better full size SUV. My only complaints are with outdated technology. Upgrading soon for better fuel economy in a 2014 with direct injection (Gen V) small block. Low maintenance cost and very reliable. 130K miles and still running strong.

The best thing about this Tahoe is that it is such a spacious family car, we have enjoyed it so much, and have been able to use it for small road trips as well.

Cons

It is not real fuel effiecient.

Family Ride — I would say that this is a great car, for the price. It runs great, and it is very enjoyable to have for a big or small family, that just likes extra room. If you like taking road trips, this is def. the car for you. Check it out!!!

Pros

Heated leather 10 way adjustable seats, BOSE stereo that totally ROCKS!!

Cons

Hmmm--gas mileage maybe?  But it averages a little over 20 mpg on the hiway and about 16 in town if I drive it reasonable (not hotrodding)...

Awesome Truck! — My Tahoe is the most amazing truck I have ever owned. It drives like a sports car in the hills, corners like a dream. It is FULLY loaded--leather seats, DVD, BOSE stereo, quad seating, 20" rims. I chose the 2WD over 4X4 because I don't go 4 wheeling in it and it has plenty of traction-control for light snow and rain which is the only weather conditions I will likely encounter living here in Cali.
