1997 Chevrolet Tahoe - Wonderful active family vehicle
The Tahoe is a very comfortable ride and drive. The power and response of the Vortec engine is amazing especially considering how heavy of a vehicle the Tahoe is. It is not the best on gas mileage but not the worst by far that I have experienced. The 4wd works flawlessly with the quick press of a button. Living in the mountains and needing to be able to get through some deep and heavy snow this is a must here. The seat fabric is extremely easy to clean and has stayed in very nice shape with multiple children and dogs putting it through rough tests. In terms of size of the overall vehicle, I believe it is perfect for a family of four plus pets. There is plenty of room for a 6'1" person to have the front seat all the way back and still have plenty of leg room in the back seat. The cargo ... (more)
Story
We like to go fishing as a family with our two preschool aged daughters. We decided to bring the boat down on the trailer to one of the ponds in our community and towed it with our Tahoe. Not thinking to look at the ground in the launch, my husband just backs up to the pond and gets out. As he gets to the trailer he begins to realize how horribly muddy the ground is and how far the rear of the... (more)
Pros
The space available in the Tahoe is amazing.
Cons
The rear windows, due to the shape of the rear doors, do not go down even half way, let alone all the way.
2002 Chevrolet Tahoe - GREAT VEHICLE
OVERALL I LOVE THIS VEHICLE. I HAD A JEEP LIBERTY BEFORE THIS AND WITH TWO TWLEVE YEAR OLDS AND A FIVE YEAR OLD THEY WERE COMPLAINING THEY DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM. SO WE LOOKED FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD THIRD ROW SEATING. BUT YET THEY ALL STILL SEEM TO SET IN THE SAME ROW. THEY HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM NOW.
Story
WE LIKE TO JAM OUT TO LOUND MUSIC ON LONG RIDES. THE KIDS LOVE TO SING ALONG WITH THEIR FAVORITE SONGS.
Pros
OVERALL I LOVE THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NICE AND BIG YOU CAN FIT FULL SIZED ADAULTS IN AND BE COMFORTABLE. THE KIDS LIKE THAT THE CAN CHOOSE WHERE TO SIT BECAUSE OF THE THIRD ROW SEATING. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE VERY BACK SEATS FOLD UP FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA ROOM. AND THAT THEY ALSO COME COMPLETLY OUT. WITH A FAMILY OF FIVE TAKING TRIPS CAN BE A PIAN WITHOUT THE EXTRA TRUNK SPACE TO THE FACT THEY COME OUT IS WONDERFUL. THE FUEL MILAGE IS GREAT FOR A FULL SIZE SUV. I LIKE THAT THE BACK GLASS WILL COME UP. ALONG WITH THE HATCH. SO IF YOU NEED TO PUT SOMETHING IN AND THE ENTIRE BACK IS FULL... (more)
Cons
THE MOST IMPORTANT THIS RIGHT NOW IS THAT THERE ARE NO RUNNING BOARDS ON IT. I AM SHORT SO I HAVE TO BASICALLY JUMP IN OR USE THE STEARING WHEEL TO PULL MYSELF UP IN IT. THE SERVIVE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON. WENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL CAP. SO HE TIGHTENED THE CAP AND CLEARED THE CODES AND THREE DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. SO NOT SURE WHAT IT WRONG JUST ANNOYING THAT THE LIGHT IS ON. AND OCCATIONALLY WHEN I START IT ALMOST ALL THE SERVICE LIGHT COME ON. LEATHER SEATS. I HATE LEATHER SEATS BUT IT WAS IN OUR PRICE RANGE SO WE HAD ... (more)
1995 Chevrolet Tahoe - The Chevy Tahoe is a Fun, Solid Ride
We purchased our 1995 Chevy Tahoe from a used car dealer about three years ago. We wanted a solid 4-wheel-drive vehicle for driving up in the hills in the backwoods of Oregon.
From the beginning we loved the smooth ride, the substantial weight, and the roominess of our Tahoe. With three growing children who were teen or pre-teen, we needed that room!
As the father of this group, I'm a typical man who enjoys lots of power in my vehicle. The Tahoe fulfilled my expectations, with plenty of get-up-and-go to handle whatever we've encountered. It barely feels it when a trailer is attached.
Overall we have been very pleased with the quality, roominess, and power of our 20-year-old Chevy Tahoe.
Story
At our local school, there's a tight parking lot, and it can be difficult to backup at times.
The kids find it hilarious when I watch for anyone watching, then drive up and over the barrier and curb. I like 4-wheel-drive.
Pros
The best features of the Tahoe are the roominess, the power, and the 4-wheel-drive.
The Tahoe is quite roomy, with a rear seat that folds down to accommodate even a full sheet of plywood or a large appliance.
The power is more than adequate for four-wheeling in the hills or towing a trailer.
The 4-wheel-drive is simple to use, at the touch of a button, and it performs well in snowy and icy conditions, as well as rough terrain.
We felt quite safe in our Tahoe, especially on high mountain dirt roads, where the 4-wheel-drive kept us safe.
Cons
The biggest negative about the Tahoe is its terrible fuel mileage. The best we've seen is about 19 MPG on long trips, using full-synthetic energy-conserving oil and additives.
On average, we get about 14-15 MPG.
