  Excellent Choice - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By famcircus - July 29 - 8:58 am

  Recently traded our 05 Toyota Sequoia in for the 09 Chevy Tahoe very, very happy we made the change. Cant say anything bad about our previous vehicle, but the 09 Tahoe and its ride quality, power, and options are extremely solid. My wife (and I) loves everything about her Tahoe and mentions she feels safe and comfortable while driving herself and 3 kids. Chevy did and outstanding job putting this vehicle together.

  First Tahoe - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By gb44 - November 14 - 2:00 am

  Excellent build quality, nice ride, plenty of towing power for our travel trailer. Even my wife feels comfortable driving it, and usually she shies away from large vehicles, she does not feel intimidate in this vehicle. I have owned several Silverados so this is familiar, but a lot easier to whip into parking places.

  Great Purchase...Very Satisfied - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By SteveI - December 7 - 11:54 am

  Previous owner of a Toyota and BMW.. I am glad to back in an American vehicle..boy they have improved. The Tahoe, excellent Grand SUV, from inside to outside, I appreciate the quality and workmanship. Great electronics to keep you updated on the vehicle performance. The only ding..the MPG..14- 17..but using regular fuel is helpful in that respect.

  Still the Best Fullsize On the Road - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Jerhico31189 - December 3 - 1:32 pm

  It drives me nuts to see you guys messing with the ratings on a good SUV because of something like fuel economy. You dont like getting 15 MPG,THEN DRIVE A CIVIC!!! It does everything a big SUV is made to do. Great in the winter and rain, tows anything and its got great cargo room. Totally satisfied!

  Tahoe LTZ 6.2L - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Oblidoblido - May 25 - 10:06 pm

  Traded in a 2005 Suburban 3/4 ton 6.0L 4WD for a 2009 Tahoe LTZ 6.2L 4WD fully loaded, black with black leather. Wow! What a difference in the ride. This Tahoe is very smooth, especially with the 6-speed. I have owned a 2002 Tahoe Z71 and the 2009 LTZ is almost like driving a different truck. The 6.2L has fantastic performance. My gas mileage around town is 13-14 mpg and on the highway about 17-18 mpg however, my driving style does not place much priority on gas mileage.

  3rd Tahoe - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Ed - May 11 - 11:08 am

  This 3rd Tahoe for us and is the nicest family car we have ever owned. Comfortable, quiet, and 19 to 20 miles per gallon using cruise control and driving in a sane manner. The fuel management system really helps with the gas. Runs on Regular. Easy to use controls. Memory seats. Dual zone heating and cooling. Both I and my wife are comfortable.

  Big Improvement Over Old Tahoe - 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Ed May - May 6 - 1:23 pm

  I recently traded in a 1999 Chevy Tahoe LT for a new 2009 LTZ model. The much reduced pricing and 0% interest made this an easy decision. I am very happy with the new model and the significant improvement in ride quality and technical advances over the previous model I owned. The miles per gallon has improved by about 15% over the old model, 16 mpg is achieved now with a 50/50 mix of highway and city driving. The bluetooth cell option automatically turns down the radio and ventilation noises to permit an easy conversation. It is easy to store telephone numbers and make cell calls over bluetooth.
