2002 Chevrolet Tahoe - Love my Tahoe.
I love my Tahoe. It has room for 8 passengers, which is extremely important to me, as my husband and I have 5 children. Our youngest two are still in car seats and the other three are in booster seats. They all fit comfortably. I get pretty great mileage (I'd guess 15-19 mpg). It is easy to drive and has a great turning radius for a vehicle of it's size. The seats lay down and the back window opens upwards so if we need to haul anything, it's a breeze. My husband in in remodeling and flooring and tile installation, so being able to fit all of his equipment and tools inside was very important to us. I am also in remodeling. I work in the office of his company and I also handle the final cleanings. I can fit my brooms, mops, vacuums and other cleaning supplies easily. There is plenty of ... (more)

There is plenty of room in the very back for groceries or other items, even if all the kids are traveling with me. The stereo system plays well. It has climate controls for the heat/ac, so every member of the family can control the heat/air blowing in their area of the cabin.
This vehicle was the first we owned that was big enough for my entire family to travel together. Previously we had to take 2 cars to get where we were going. The day we brought the Tahoe home, we loaded all 5 kids inside and just went for a drive around town, just to say we had finally all traveled together in the same vehicle.

The day we brought the Tahoe home, we loaded all 5 kids inside and just went for a drive around town, just to say we had finally all traveled together in the same vehicle. The selfie I took from the front seat looking back onto all those smiling faces is one of my favorite photos of all of us.
My favorite thing about this vehicle is how easy it is to drive despite being large enough to carry my entire family! I love that I can fit everyone inside of the cabin comfortably!

I don't know that there is really anything about my Tahoe that I don't like. I feel like it has a pretty big blind spot on the right hand side, but it's nothing once you learn the parameters.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe - 02 Chevrolet Tahoe: A gem in 2019
The build quality of my 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe is exceptional. The vehicle is over a decade old and has no rattles or loose parts. The fittings appear as they did in the commercials from when it was first released. The interior is in good condition, too. I say good condition because the roof liner pigment is expired so it is saggy on the edges, but not something that isn't an easy fix. Space, space, space, there is so much storage/trunk space in the vehicle, which is on par to most modern SUVs. The passenger rows both fold or remove for more space. If not being used for its trunk space the Tahoe works very well for road trips. It seats 8 adults, comfortably. The vehicle comes with all of the things necessary for road trips like AC, heating, radio, CD player, and cigarette port which you ... (more)

The vehicle comes with all of the things necessary for road trips like AC, heating, radio, CD player, and cigarette port which you can hook up a charger to for your portable devices. There is plenty of legroom for everyone in this vehicle. Lastly, the original engine has over 250,000+ miles on it and has never broken down on me since the day I purchased it used. Apart from maintenance, there has been no expensive hidden demons on the mechanical side of the vehicle. Overall, I would definitely purchase this vehicle again if anything were to ever happen to this Tahoe. Maybe I'll upgrade in the feature based off of this experience.
It isn't really "fun" mainly memorable and funny, but on a road trip with some friends in which another vehicle of mine was used, I bumped my other vehicle with the Tahoe and the steel bumper did not show a single defect apart from scratches to the chrome finish. (other vehicle was an '01 Silverado.)

Decent mileage, reliable, comfortable, a vehicle that is all-purpose.
