I think it's the best truck on the market ! I have had a 78 Jimmy, a 87 Blazer, 94 Yukon, 00 Tahoe, 03 Tahoe, 07 Yukon, and picking up my new. 2011Tahoe, I have 2 sons that always gotten my old truck, the only trucks that I sold from the list is 78 & 87, most of them have had plows !! And we tow our wave runner and our lil 21 ft CC with the Tahoes

I love my tahoe. Its an 03 with 180,000 miles on it and it hasnt skipped a beat yet. We got it new and i got it handed down to me when i was 17.
I took it too an offroad park last weekend. Pretty capable vehicle http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/IMG_0330.jpg If your looking for a little more info check out Z71TahoeSuburban.com Its a great group of guys just like this forum that are willing to help. |

We are fairly unconcerned about the DVD player. It might sound weird, but my wife and I are not sure we want the DVD player in the back because we don't necessarily want them to be glued to TV all the time. Stacey - congrats on your pregnancy!! Hope all goes well, and glad to hear you guys are alright!! I like the LTZ trim package with the woodgrain, etc... LTZ usually has the 20 inch wheels too! The DVD on the ceiling isn't great, the aftermarket ones that go in the headrests are better. In the headrest it is eye level for kids in car seats and the roof mount is looking up at 45 degree angle. With a pair in the headrests and wireless headphones they can each watch whatever they want, no fighting. Our rule is no TV unless we are on the highway (long trips). I think the new ones have 0% for 72 months, might help with the budget! :D |

Ive had a 96 and 2001, still have a 95(2 door mud truck)) and have driven a 2009 lt extensively. They are solid reliable 4 door suv's plenty of power and good (for their size) handling.
The 95 has 225k mile, the 96 sold with 180k the 2001 sold with 202k. Biggest problems: 2001 got a new trans at 143k and a new ac comp at 75k. I did a lot of towing with all of them. Would buy another without hesitation if it fitted my needs. |
Wow - lot of high mileage trucks here. That's good news....

We have a 09 w 6.2 LTZ. Loaded and 22s from the dealer.
No problems yet at 22k. Well except window squeak on driver side when going down. Now mpg's--- Fuageddaboutit |
Back in December we traded the wifes Wrangler for an 03 Tahoe. A week later hooked a 20ft. Whaler to it and drove 1400 miles to the Keys. I'l never make that mistake again. Going on 6 months of owning it, it has more than its fair share of electrical gremlins and I'm less than impressed with the way it handles. Its starting to show a lot of the same electrical issues that my 03 Silverado HD has.

Two thumbs up. Good choice.

2002 Suburban 200K miles, great vehicle. Tahoe or suburban very good choice. Consider the suburban longer wheelbase better for towing and much more cargo space. My wife liked to drive it more than her BMW 745. The suburban feels very nimble for it's size. The 5.3 and tranny are a very nice, smooth package.

I have a 2004 Denali and love it, it just turned 100k last nite. my 3rd row seats fold forward and will hold luggage, I know 4 sets of golf clubs and so on. I take it to Florida and Tn every year since I have owned wth 2 adults and 2 teens and all our crap with no issues. pretty versitle vehicle. mine is AWD great in snow not so much for MPG. but the comfort is worth it.
