The 5300 V8 is now capable of running gasoline/ethanol fuel blends.

Pros:

  • Excellent Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    Incredible features on the "base" model. We just bought within the past month and have been happier than expected with the 4800 engine. The 3rd row is the best available - interms of leg room and 50/50 split for storage. Have used the AWD some in snow and this works great as well.

  • Exceeding my expectations - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    After driving a 97 Nissan Pathfinder for 5 years, I though ride quality couldnt be improved on another SUV. I was wrong. This car rides like a well mannered Cadillac. 5.3 V8 is a must. Has a nice throaty V8 rumble when you punch it. low road noise compared to my wifes new Ford Exploder which we hate. Very little cargo room when 3rd row seat isnt folded up. Fuel economy totally stinks, especially if you like to utilize the big V8 (which I do.) Turning radius is absolutely fantastic, light years better than my Pathfinder or the Exploder even though they are much smaller. I feel very safe carrying my 9 month old. I couldnt ask for a better family car!

    Very pleased with this vehicle

  • LOVE THE EXTERIOR...UPGRADE THE INTERIOR - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I HAVE HAD MY 2002 TAHOE FOR 11 MONTHS, AND 11000 MILES. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PERFORMANCE THAT THE CHEVY V-8 IS UNSURPASSED, BUT THE INTERIOR NEEDS SOME UPGRADING. LEATHER SEATS ARE COMFORTABLE AND APPEALING BUT WAY TOO MUCH PLASTIC IN DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS. PUT A IMPORT INTERIOR WITH THIS DOMESTIC EXTERIOR, AND YOU WOULD HAVE S.U.V. EUPHORIA.

  • Thumbs up for Tahoe! - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    Up until the blizzard I never had a chance to put the Tahoe in 4WD. I can honestly say that i went through 2 ft of snow in the DC area this past week with little effort. I even towed a smaller SUV that got stuck because he didnt have the ground clearance. The Tahoe performed exactly as I expected it to.

  • steering - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I had a knocking in the steering column after 12000 miles and the dealer tells me that there is a design flaw that cause the steering to make noise. The joint dries out and requires a $100 lube from the dealer which is not covered after the warranty expires. This is a great riding auto with great pick-up and amentities. Highly recommend it.

  • Great ride - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

  • A Big Rock - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I bought my Tahoe brand new, within the first two months I had to have the radio replaced and the transmission started having problems not shifting out of 2nd gear, even at 50 mph. At about 6 months the idling arm had to be replaced. The transmission never went away and I returned it under Lemon Law. I then went bought a Silverado, thats a piece of junk too. Im done with American cars.
