Just bought a 2013 Tahoe with 62k miles. Has after market wheels, exhaust and headlights. Very good condition. All black with black interior. It is a beautiful beast.
I’m looking at one that has 82k on it. A soccer mom has it now
I Finally Payed Off My 2011 Tahoe And It Was Worth Every Penny Its Still Going Strong
me as a german i love those big american SUV/Cars
america is great
Late to the game, I just bought one of these, and I love it.
Hi dear, can I ask u which model you have and is it relabel car ? Do u advice me to get one?
@@mohammedalalwani4787 These SUV's are EXCELENT. I have had no issues with mine. You can easily get well over 200k miles on it. I'd certainly buy another one.

Many thanks for reply brother really appreciated 🌹
You are not late Im planning to get one as soon as I keep working smart :)
It's time for an update but i still think this is a very handsome SUV.
If I had a family and I towed a lot, this would be the vehicle for me. Except I would get a Suburban with the LTZ package. Not the Tahoe.
I own one and I loooooove it
Is it a lot of malfunctions or not?
Yes, I prefer the Tahoe to the land cruiser.
@modmatt1 I agree with you that the seat sits low due to this arrangement and that's not great for sure, but most of these third rows I wouldn't want to spend even a second in and I felt like in the Tahoe I could at least make it on a short trip...and the kids had no issues. The Expedition does do a nice job with the 3rd row legroom but gives up a significant amount of cargo room behind the second row with the 3rd row removed.
One of the best American cars ever
Chevy had done a very good job of this Tahoe!
I remember seeing in another review that the hybrid option for the chevy tahoe compromises braking ability, power-steering and handling for the fuel economy. If that's the case then I'm wondering if I should pick a gas guzzler that is less likely to rear-end someone (if I have to slam on the breaks in rush hour) vs something that trades safety for fuel economy. Can't confirm. If anyone here knows otherwise, please comment b/c I'm wondering if I should replace my current tahoe with a new one.
I used to own a 4X4 pickup. There is nothing in the world like driving a large truck/SUV. I would like to see a fresh look for the Tahoe myself. I do believe it will be within the next couple of years.
The Suburban has it all over the tahoe but still a great review.
I always have liked the Tahoe 2001-2012,
They have the designs of great looks.the newer Tahoe's have new designs but not the good looks like the old Tahoe's.
I know everyone has a choice of designs of vehicles so I respect that.
Still looks sharp after all these years.
These body on frame trucks will never die americans love them.
@stevehammes I really like this design, hope they don't change it too much
My family owns a Chevy suburban and its a great SUV but it does hurt at the Pump!
Great Review, as an owner of five different Tahoes, the most recent of which is a 2010 version, thanks for an honest review.
land cruise= tank for normal ppl
Tahoe= all about comfort and smartness
The only thing the Tahoe and the Suburban need are fold-to-the-floor 3rd rows. Like the Navigator/Expedition.
@stevehammes Thanks for responding and mean no disrespect - appreciate the well done review. The current Expedition's 3rd row doesn't need to be removed as it folds flat forward into the floor, but does concede a few cu ft when compared to the tahoe since you take it with you 55 vs. 60.3 cu ft behind 2nd row. Not that significant IMO for much added convenience and the split seats need to be removed in the Tahoe for that max space, not just folded. Direct comparison video review please?
My uncle have a 2012 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 and its only getting 14 mpg combine
I hope that GM doesn't switch to a crossover design for the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban. It is a nice old body on frame SUV that can do 200,000 miles if well taken care of and is solidly built too. I hope it stays that way.
Oh yeah your right. I should have said solid rear axle instead of BOF. Anyways I hope they don't change the Tahoe,Yukon, etc except perhaps a better interior.
In my opinion, I prefer this old and classic look more than the new one. It's too complicated, my friends agree with me
@TheAlexv6 It's in the works for first half of 2013 as a 2014 model.
People don't realize that there is a hybrid model that gets 23 mpg highway. Both V-8 (5.3L and 6.2L) that has the cylander shutoff.
i want to see a challenge between
chevy tahoe vs ford expedition vs nissan armada vs toyota sequoia there is a video of this challenge but i can not get it
Thanks!!! I decided to go Escalade after comparing both vehicle and now Just waiting for Right deal to come. : )
@EMdemo Yes. It's a concept but it's not looking good.
they won't, because people who buy these beasts need them for towing and carrying lots of people, not me though, i would buy one of these because im a clostraphobic and cars are just too cramped for me, unless it's somthing like a ford crown victoria or a good old chevy caprice
Besides the insides I still like these better than the new ones built a lot better to
Nice, this is my dream suv
nice car...how fast is it ?
Gm needs to finally drop the pushrod engines in their trucks. The 5.0 in the F150 makes more power than all four 6.0's GM had.
@stevehammes
I'm with you and Waffleeater1; Nissan made the Pathfinder a large crossover. Plenty of Nissan Pathfinder enthusists will be greatly dissapointed. I doubt the Tahoe or Suburban will go to this route. I'll take a Tahoe to tow a boat and to bring a lot of passengers.
actually the Liberty is a "un", which is a unibody with an integrated ladder frame for strength and ridgidity, just like the old XJ Cherokee, and the new upcoming Tahoe and Yukon are still BOF fullsize SUV's, and so is the upcoming Suburban and Yukon XL
Plenty of room in the 3rd row? You are eating your knees! Try an Expedition with the independent rear and proper floor height and you see what plenty of 3rd row room is supposed to feel like. Would love to see the new 5.0L in a freshened Expedition and for the Tahoe to get a major update. Wish I could mix the best of all the makes and come up with the perfect large SUV.
@stevehammes i heard they're putting it on a version of the platform underpinning the Acadia, Traverse, and Enclave.
Mr. Chapman, why are you so opposed to American vehicles? The Tahoe sells well for a reason. GM has Recent
Great Family Vehicle we have a 2007 we love it it drives like a dream plenty power
Rick Avila what is the life span of a Tahoe, like how many miles can you get out of it? Are the tires expensive to replace?
It looks like something from the early 90s :o( Interior not as bad as I imagined :o)
Buy Tahoe Ltz or Pre owned Cadillac Escalade platinum and tell me opinion because i'm having tough time deciding!!!
@stevehammes do I think there will be a redesign pretty soon?
@jimmyhoffa9 as an over all offroad capable suv, nothing beats the land cruiser. its reliablility is unsurpassed and great offroad and very comfy on road and great engines including the diesels. it will still be good as new after 10 years.
I expect GM to redesign this car in the same way that Nissan did to the Pathfinder.
sure grand cherokee is a great competitor but i want a full siz suv challenge
They might with all this downsizing stuff going on. Ford already has abandoned body on frame suvs save the Expedition/ Navigator, which is on its last legs. Chrysler has only two body on frame suvs left, the Liberty and wrangler.
They used to in the 1995-1999 model year i think
I just wish they'll improve the interior design for the model
So I take it GM isn't discontinuing the Tahoe?
Is that the same engine that the Impala SS had?
@stevehammes Did you see it in person?
@ivarsrini No.
Unless i got 15,000 M.S.R.P. i might consider buying one
that's because most people who buy suv's need them
Please explain why the country is littered with Tahoes and I rarely ever even see a land cruiser
I think land cruisers are boring as hell and ugly I see them alot in other countries tho that's just my opinion
I'll rather have and get so much more quality, value, and up to date perks in a 2012 Ford Expedition King Ranch with every option checked off for less than $59K.
And to think people still need suburbans with this beast still lurking around lol...
@bmwmsport11 this with the Z71 package is mine
@MondoBongoz The design of the z71 makes the truck stand out
I don't know why the lights are turned on
but chevrolet tahoe has more ground clearance at 10.2 inchs but landcruiser is just at 8.9 inchs
It's sort of meh. About 8.5 seconds to 60 with the 5.3. The 6.2 liter can bring that down in the mid to high 6 range but nothing barn storming. (At least by today's standards but way more livable.)
@macktenful That;s what I thought. I saw it on either Car and Driver or Motor trend's website. Hopefully, it goes the way others are going. That is towards more of a European type look.
1997 Astro kicking Sandy's Wrath AWD style :P
Great Car....
the power ratings are soo depressing for a 5.3.
I just do not like these trucks. the only thing great out of it is 4WD some good room and reliability. mileage, no. interior, hell no. tech, no. ride quality? eh. i just find unless your towing or something a car like this wont make sense. want room.. theres plenty of car based much nicer better handling options out there and if you REALLY want room there are minivans that can trump this in a 0-60.
@Waffleater1 Did you see the new Pathfinder from Detroit? Wow, is that bad!
@jimmyhoffa9 as an over all offroad capable suv, nothing beats the land cruiser. its reliablility is unsurpassed and great offroad and very comfy on road and great engines including the diesels.
I Want the Z71 tahoe
can it? name another full size suv for around that price...
are you going to be doing a yukon
Yet a Tahoe is your avatar :p
@cardude1992 Price.
i love my tahoe and would highly suggest it to anyone
*recently bought back their stocks from the government. This means their products will get better and better. As evident in all their cars being built in the USA! Sonic made 100% in Michigan. And on your suggestions, those companies also are made in North America. Acura- Ohio and Canada plants. Audi and Bimmers will be built with pride in... Wait for it... MEXICO! Range Rover = British P.O.S made by underpaid Italians.
Nice, but VERY outdated. Needs a refresh ASAP.
@mikerules666 the redesigned silverado is gonna be nice
i notice cartels like using chevy tahoes lol
Escalade !
Wow almost 60K? Personally at that point, I'd spend a bit extra and get a Lincoln Navigator instead.
wow...59k...that's a lot for a Tahoe
different engine in the escalade..
i like the old 90's tahoes better and i'm the proud owner of a 99' Tahoe LT, these are just too car like and have too much plastic and flimsy sheet metal
Because its alot cheaper and its more patriotic to buy this (im not even american im just pointing out that it may be looked at this way)
@mikerules666 End of 2013 there is a redesign coming
European centre consoles aren't that big because our cars are less than the U.S-expected 50 meters wide...
@volkswagenaustin03 My mom owns a 2008 Trailblazer. It may be old fashioned, but I prefer it over crossover SUVS anyday. Some unibody SUVs like the new Jeep Grand Cherokee are good though.
Gosh that plastic fake wood is horrible!
Too dang much $ for a cheap plastic-y interior. They could do so much better.
There is a hybrid version of the Tahoe.
Hes wrong my 2010 has auto up driver and pasanger window
No. He’s right.
@@stevehammes he said it didnt have auto up my 2010 has it why wouldnt a 2012 have it
@maxthehulk my Range rover evoque would win lol
60grand for a truck with that interior. No thanks!
@cardude1992 Because every car japan has ever made falls apart, not to mention the american SUVs look better, sound better and have more power.
tahoe > yukon !
@cardude1992 Comfort
