  • Autoride Alert - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    Beware. Do NOT get the Autoride option on this vehicle. I have had mine to the dealership three times because the vehicle is extremely unstable. It feels like the vehicle is in a constant crosswind and the driver has to fight to keep it on the road. My wife is afraid to drive it. Any road irregularity and it bobs, wiggles and undulates while trying to wander right or left. The autoride system is constantly trying to keep the vehicle level or adjust to the road but it ends up causing gyrations that frighten me. Instead of being relaxed after driving it I am stressed and on edge. Autoride in my opinion is unsafe and a hazard. DO NOT get the autoride

    Weve had our tahoe for over a year now. Ours has no 3rd row seat and the cargo area is used to transport our dogs. We shouldve bought the suburban and that is my advise. Just get the bigger one and get it over with, the size is less overwhelming over time and you actually get use to the size. All in all awsome vehicle and would buy another one, probably the Yukon XL, since its a bit more attractive. A rattle in the dash is been bugging me too.

    I absolutely love my 2002 LS 2wd Tahoe. I feel I got a great deal- I upgraded to the third row seat,with the lift gate and leather seats- with the 2002 rebate I paid $29,000 plus tt&l. I am very much impressed with the comfort and smooth ride. I am getting great mileage (16.5 city 17.5 highway). I definitely recommend this vehicle!

  • Z71 Rocks! - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Our Z71 takes the rugged farm we enjoy with ease, holds two 100lb. dogs with ease and after a good cleaning can hold its own with any SUV out on the market! We are very selective in our SUV choices and the Z71 model caught our attention!

  • Cant get it out of my mind - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I have been driving a Tahoe LT Autoride for work for the last 3 months until very recently when vehicles were no longer provided. The problem now is that I have grown so found of the vehicle I really want one. I just dont want to pay the high ticket price for a new vehicle. Should of never got in that new one, because now I think I am going to have to spring for one. Great vehicle. Served all my needs very well...safe family hauler, smooth ride, power, boat tower, looks good, fun to drive.

  • 2002 Tahoe LS 4x4 w/ 5.3 - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    Great power,smooth ride and lots of space! I have also been getting good gas mileage (18-20.5 mpg). However, I am dissapointed in the interior. The fabric on the cushions of my seats was not sewn well at all. Also, after riding in a Toyota Sequoia, I realize how small and relatively uncomfortable the Tahoe back seat is. Also, despite its weight and wide tires (265/70 R16), it gets blown around in the wind. When you have a substantial side-wind, you get a lot of leaks in the door and along the floor. One more thing, the bench seat option doesnt have a good range of adjustments for the seats. Short drivers might have a hard time. Im 61" and I keep the seat as high as it will go.

  • love my tahoe - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I bought mine during the $2002 rebate and for invoice less the rebate. The only options on mine is the 285hp engine, rear liftgate, and raised letter tires. At exactly $28k plus TT&L this truck is a bargain. Im getting right at 15mpg city (with fairly conservative driving.) It is quiet, smooth, and very well done. I had a 96 Tahoe. Almost loved it but the brakes were terrible and the design was sloppy. GM has nailed these new SUVs, and I am very pleased. If reliability proves good, Ill call it just about perfect.
