Drivers of the 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe seem to really like their cars, raving about how much nicer it is inside and out than the cars driven by friends, neighbors, or relatives. They site its smooth ride and handling, yet complain the slightest bit about engine noise.
The Tahoe has seating for 9, though those in what we used to call the "way-back" might struggle a bit to get in-unless, of course, they are still at the age where they call it the "way-back."
The base engine is a 4.8-liter V8, rated at 285 horsepower at 5200 rpm, and a torque of 295@4000. Fuel ecomomy at this level isn't great, with 16/20 mpg. The bigger engine-a 5.3-liter V8 rated at 295 horsepower-gets slightly worse mileage at 15/19.
Overall, people seem very happy with their Tahoes.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe generally have positive things to say about this SUV. They appreciate its spacious interior, smooth handling, and performance, especially for family use and long trips. However, many noted that the gas mileage could be better, particularly in city driving. Some experienced mechanical issues early on, which affected their confidence in the vehicle, but overall, many drivers miss its comfort and size once they part with it."
Good motor 5.3 large inside very roomy smooth handling on the road okay gas mileage great for a large family only thing I can say that was wrong probably flex fuel or something like that
June 28, 2021This Tahoe has been the best vehicle we have owned. We have never had any issues and no major repairs. It is the first vehicle my wife has owned more than 10 years. My only complaint is the third row seats. They are heavy and in the way even when you fold them up.
May 27, 2015I pretty much loved everything about this vehicle except the gas mileage. There was always plenty of room for everyone to ride and get their luggage in the back while also not feeling cramped. Also a very smooth ride for an SUV. The only con of this vehicle is the gas mileage in the city stop and go traffic, but in my opinion all the pros make up for it.

September 14, 2014The quality of this car is good. Performance on this car is great. Has great pep to it. Sterring is supper. Brakes are a little bit touchy but work really well. Air conditioner and heat works really well too that goes from the front to the back. Enough room to sit 8 people and still have enough leg room. Could fold down 2nd row and take out 3rd row to make bigger room to carry bigger stuff. Great at towing almost anything. But high on the cost of gas. Fun to drive.
February 2, 2009Overall was a very good vehicle, Great for long trips and people who work for there car. The maintiance cost was reasonable and I like the fact that it has 16 inch rims instead of the larger rims newer tahoes come as standard equipment.

September 28, 2021Drove in rush hour traffic and it was way too big for me!!
March 28, 2008This was my first brand new car first time owner, I loved the room I loved the third row, I loved how comfortable it was. What I did not like was all the initial mechanical problems I had with it. First it started squeaking occasionally and I would take it in and it wouldn't squeak for them, then I'd take it home and it started squeaking again it was very frustrating. Eventually they learned it needed new body mounts, and I was like WTF? This is a brand new car, why would it need new mounts in the first month of ownership? Then there was a problem with some type of throttle module or something twice. Then i just lost confidence in the car and eventually traded it in. But looking back i wish I had kept it, I miss the height, the size and the ride, if I had to do over I would mos def keep it.
March 19, 2011Its a great SUV. Really comfortable, big but not to big, rides good, and theres a lot more. You would just have to drive one.
