  Solid Vehicle (so far) - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By calljunior - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this vehicle for 2 year and other than corrosion on the + battery cable it has been a champ inside and out. Now at 60k miles its developed a "whine" that appears to be coming from somewhere in the engine compartment so Im holding my breath a bit...wondering. Ive run across some vehicles Id like to own but I just cant justify letting go of what has been such a reliable SUV. Im crossing my fingers for another good 60k miles.

  I love the comfort and stlye and the power comes in real hande when you need it,towes very well.my truck has 220,000 miles with a new motor{rebuilt} and the only thing that broke was my rear end but after 220,000 miles I paid the $1,500 to repaire it and never looked back and tow a 4,500 pound boat with no promblem, but this truck is a gas sucker but it handles and does so much work for you I wont sell mine.

  TAHOE MAN - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By BEAGLEHOE - March 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought a 2 door Tahoe LT used and have had it for 6 months now. I spent a total of around 2K in repairs & maintenance in the first two months of owening it. It needed these repairs and since then I havent had any real problems (knock on wood). I love this car b/c i believe in Chevy & its gona be a classic Monster truck one day.

  Love it till Tran droped - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Pardoe1 - January 22 - 2:00 am

  I loved my Tahoe Great power and almost no problems in 2 years. Just a fuel pump. That was covered by extended warenty. BUT @ 111000miles the transmission droped 3rd and 4th and I was in the middle of no where. Limped it home and find the company I bought extended warenty from is belly up and dealer says oh well. Im going to see if I can get a Allison trans in this thing.

  Happy with my Tahoe - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By dhill - November 3 - 2:00 am

  This car has excellent power on demand. It has been a good toe car and given me very few problems. Of course you get typical GM stuff like the transfer case going bad in the drive train when I hardly ever use 4WD anyway. Overall, two thumbs up.

  4 Transmissions in 4 Years - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By dhawk - August 30 - 2:00 am

  I love my Tahoe. I love it so much that I keep putting transmissions in it instead of getting rid of it. Just two days ago it ate its fourth transmission. Apparently there is a defect (complete with s TSB to fix it) that makes these trucks eat transmissions. Unfortunately, GM doesnt feel they owe the owners for the transmissions or the fix. Other than that, the truck is awesome. It will tow a boat, trailer, or car. It will haul your family and all their luggage. While driving, you feel totally safe. My gas mileage averages about 17 mpg and the ride is smooth.

  Lemmmmon - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By HenrytheDog - June 14 - 2:00 am

  It seems chevy put explosive bolts in this thing. After 36k miles its undependable. Compressor, transmission, alt., coil, ign switch, electronic trans case, etc.. This thing has been towed 4 times to the dealer.
