My Experiences:

When I shopped for this I researched researched & researched all of the possible features and options and selected exactly what I wanted. I then spent as much time finding the best deal that could be had (IMHO) in Texas. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase. The Tahoe gives the perfect balance between utility, durability, style & luxury. This model's driver's cockpit was extremely well thought-out; I think they went backwards in the newer models. My wife is quite a bit shorter than I am, so the memory setting for the mirror and seat positions, the pedal height, and other preferences is an absolute must for any future car. The maintenance items I've had in the first 150K miles has been the fuel pump, and the intermediate steering column. The later was serviced under warranty. GM added a lubrication kit. Unfortunately, the slight knocking started a couple of months later after it was out of warranty. GM's new service bulletin has the dealership replace the column -- I understand this actually fixes the issue. Both of these items are minor in comparison to the comfort and reliability of the vehicle. Strongly recommend!

Update: 29 Apr 00:36

This engine can also accept E85 gas.  This E85 ethanol option runs about 40 - 50 cents less than traditional gas.  Unfortunately, the gas mileage drops when using the E85 fuel about 20%

  4. I love the Chevy Tahoe. We haven't bought one yet, though. Still driving my Malibu....

  5. I love Tahoes. They are very classy looking vehicles. It is too bad about the E85. People will soon learn to look for better more honest alternatives to this swindle.

  6. It sounds like your research really paid off & you got something that you enjoy!

  7. I have a friend with a Tahoe and she loves. I love it too when we take long trips with a group of friends and we can all fit in one vehicle! You did some great research - that always makes a difference!

  8. I am a petite woman, and I drive a GMC Yukon and I love it. I feel so safe and secure, even in bad weather, and believe me in Ohio we have bad weather. I hope your wife loves her Tahoe as much. Voted.

  9. Great review, I am still loving my Blazer but when I do trade it will probably be something still in this family ;)

  10. Sounds like a nice durable vehicle. The gas mileage would scare me off, admittedly. Great that it takes E85 but not a lot of people know that it reduces MPG- so thanks for pointing that out. Great review!

  11. Sounds great! Thanks for the information and for sharing your experience with this vehicle.

  12. I have a friend with one of these. Except for short trips, they have parked it hoping the cost of gas will go down. They asked us if we wanted to buy it to use as the family vehicle. I love how roomy they are, but we've already got a gas guzzling F250.

  13. Thanks for the great review! I think the gas thing sucks as well. I drive a small car that gets great mileage and I still complain. I think that I will stick with it until the prices start dropping again.

  15. I like the part...I researched, researched and finding the best deal cos i am like that when i wanted to buy something . Despite of doing that sometimes I still end up in buying faulty products, but at least you are pleased with what you buy, voted. Thanks for sharing those great details.

  20. Good review! Voted.

  21. That's sad that the mileage drops when you use the E85 gas. With that drop in mileage you probably almost come out the same with gas price. With gas prices these days, any little bit helps though.

  22. Great detail on this review. I'm forwarding this to my step-daughter, who is currently shopping for a vehicle for her growing family.

  23. The information about the E85 gas is interesting. Thanks for a great review.

    Christi239 on May 06, 2008 11:13 (reply to this)

  24. Wow. So, do you have to take out a mortgage to buy gas? This is a good review and is well written. I voted for it.

  25. Great review. Glad you really like your purchase. I just recently bought a new vehicle and it was all about finding something great in gas.
