Overview & Reviews

The Tahoe gets a host of new upgrades for 2003. On the inside, you'll find new tri-zone climate controls, an enhanced driver-information center and a redesigned center console and instrument panel. New options includes second-row bucket seats and adjustable pedals. A revised lineup of entertainment options offers buyers a Bose audio system, as well as XM Satellite Radio and a DVD-based entertainment system. For increased safety, there are dual-stage airbags, a standard front-passenger-sensing system, three-point belts for all second-row passengers and an available StabiliTrak stability control system on Tahoes with the 5300 V8. The braking system has been upgraded for what Chevrolet says is better pedal feel and performance and Tahoes sold in California are now fitted with a new catalytic converter that earns the truck ULEV certification. Deleted items on the Tahoe are minor. No longer standard are third-row floor mats, an underhood light, a 7-to-4 pin trailer brake adapter, an auxiliary door lock switch in the cargo area and a lock for the center console.

• Strong engines, roomy and versatile interior, numerous available amenities.

• Spotty build quality, interior materials could use improvement.

  Great SUV - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Michael E. Urbanski - January 19 - 2:00 am

  Love the vehicle, gas milage is not good at all. I am ready to purchase another one, which will be my third Tahoe. Trade value is a lot lower that I expected on a one year old unit.

  2003 Chevy Tahoe LS 4WD - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Antihype - January 17 - 2:00 am

  Great vehicle. Definitely get the 5.3L engine. The 4.8L engine is good, but the 5.3L is worth the extra money. I love the steering on this vehicle. Its a large vehicle, but it steers better than my old compact pickup. The Auto 4WD system is a great feature that competitors dont offer. Only get the third row seat if you expect to carry children around because the third row will only be comfortable for children. Since I dont have children, I find myself taking out the third row seats most of the time for cargo room. Great ride quality with quiet engine and cabin.

  As the add says, "LIKE A ROCK" - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By jenga - December 30 - 2:00 am

  The Tahoe blows away the competition (Expedition, Landcruiser, etc. with their wimpy 230hp engines). The 5.3L engine is a MUST have over the standard 4.8. Interior qualities and features are very adequate regardless of "spotty build quality" often described by J.D. Power and other groups - what do they expect? Its a TRUCK for cryin out loud! My 1st ever large vehicle/SUV and Im committed for life as long as Chevy maintains their quality standard. Hats off to "MOTOR CITY" for a job well done!

  Truck Saved my life, very well built - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Mandi78 - December 13 - 2:00 am

  I recently rolled my Tahoe over twice on the highway doing approx 60mph and literally other than being bruised up I walked away from the accident.. The truck also saved my baby (I am 9mos pregnant) and the baby is fine as well.. I must say the truck is top heavy I have always said that but it certainly help up well.. The only downfall now is that because the truck is so high priced the insurance company is fixing the truck (25,000 worth of damage). But defenately worth the $$$

  Love it,love it not(longtermreliabilty?) - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By stevenrobinzz - December 3 - 2:00 am

  Purchased Tahoe little over year ago. Have begun to question longterm reliabilty of vehicle. Have had problems with brakes squealing from day we left the lot. Terrible noise in front of vehicle when turning and accelerating. After repaired, steering more stiff and making grinding noises. While washing the vehicle (with sprayer) paint chipped off. Problems with lights and seats when operating. Doors sound horrible when opening and shutting. Dealership has been good about fixing things but should not be having these problems with a new vehicle. How well will it hold up? I love the ride, comfort, etc. Purchase another? Doubtful.

  my 1st 4wd - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Jerry bishop - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Simply said its a luxury vehicle with the strength and power of a truck. Unbelievably quiet and ready to go anywhere. A little tough on the fuel economy but I guess that can be expected given its size.

  10000 mi and still OK - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By jcsmith - November 7 - 2:00 am

  I really enjoy the vehicle. It drives like a sedan and is remarkably quiet. The sound system is excellent but, even boom boxes store more than six CDs. So far, the only faults are an outside temperature gage failing and a piece of trim at the bottom of one of the rear seats was loose.

  First time Tahoe owner - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By L. Sherry - October 9 - 2:00 am

  Moving up from a Blazer to the Tahoe was definitely worth it. Seriously considered the TrailBlazer, but, opted for more room with the Tahoe. Living in deep snow country the 4WD is a needed feature. My only wish is that the mileage was better.. but,it goes with the territory.

  A Few Changes Needed - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By rancher03 - October 1 - 2:00 am

  There are many things to like about the Tahoe. It is a reliable vehicle and a good size.The seats are comfortable and the controls are easy to use. But there are a few changes needed to make me keep this one or buy another one. I have had 2 previous suburbans and a Chev conversion van in the last 15 years.

  Z71 A step up from everthing else - 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By kgc - September 29 - 2:00 am

  The Z71 is definitely a vehicle you want in your garage if you plan on driving in any condition. During and after the Blizzard of 2003 I was the only vehicle on the road that was not in a ditch. The biggest problem that I have discovered with this vehicle is its ability to drain a tank of gas with no difficulty, as well as few minor issues with the interior quality of the vehicle. I would request that GM increase the level of the 2nd row comfort, sitting in the back is like ridding on a wooden bench. Over all I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who does not want to sit in there house when the weather turns bad.
