This vehicle has been very reliable. In five years of owning the vehicle, I have only had to replace the water pump. That was easy to replace myself. It does not have too many fancy features that I do not feel are needed. This just makes things more expensive and harder to work on. The three rows of seats provide all you need to carry many passengers. They also fold down if you need to transport over-sized cargo. It can tow a fairly large RV/camper behind it. With it being a fairly large vehicle, the gas mileage is not very good, as expected. I also like styling of the vehicle. The new models just do not have the same feeling as the body of the older model. The leather seats are nice. The car can be cold in the winter, but there is a heater in the seats. Although, this takes a little while to heat up. They also have a tendency to wear out if you are not careful about how you rub on the seats when stepping into the vehicle. The factory sound system is not bad but may leave some to be desired for audio enthusiasts that want something louder. The dexcool antifreeze put in the car by the factory is known to cause problems with the coolant system, and I think that may be why the water pump was required to be replaced.

I have a dark green 2002 Chevy Tahoe and I love it. It is lifted and has Toyo All Terrain tires. I have had a few problems with it including needing new brakes, wheel hub assembly and cv joints. Overall I am very happy with this Tahoe. It has a v8 engine and I really enjoy being able to get up and go rather than slowly going faster. It is very dependable and perfect for my family so I will never get rid of it. I enjoy riding in it more than any other SUV as it rides smooth like a car.
