  Tahoe Breakhoe - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Tahoe Crap - December 2 - 11:02 pm

  Where do I start? I got mine 11-24-1998 and if I wasnt a very mechanical guy I wouldve gone mad by now. It would be a great vehicle if it wasnt breaking all the time. The list of things that broke are: Fuel-pump at 40K, Intake manifold gaskets 2X, Transmission at 80K, Front rotors continually warp- inadequately-braked vehicle, Water pump, Radiator, Interior plastic parts galore-Sun visor vanity mirrors R/L, Right side electric mirror, Alternator 3X, Rear cargo door strap, Rear speaker, Paint on hood and top shot, Dog tracking problem, Grill plastic parts are all breaking, Wiper pulse board. I am a bit remiss to not remember everything. If I ever sell it, it will have everything corrected.

  The Hoe - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Sgt Gahring - October 7 - 7:14 pm

  I bought the hoe and ever since Ive loved it. Awesome horsepower with a few upgrades, "headers, K and N air filter, performance exhaust." With a fuel system flush and tranny flush I have gotten better fuel economy but for the ponies its pushing Im ok with it. Its awesome for mudding and pull offs. But if working the overdrive transmission it needs a BG tranny flush and the conditioner for protection. Ive had to do regular maintenance but what vehicle doesnt need it. If your looking for fun go with General Motors.

  One of the last of the GOOD Trucks! - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By PHXGuy - March 16 - 9:45 pm

  This is one of the greatest vehicles I have ever owned. Mine, though it has 150K miles, was extremely well cared for. Safe, reliable, fun to drive, easy to park(tight turning radius)and there really is no substitute for a Chevy 350 V8!! Mileage is better than I expected 16+mpg around town. (has aftermarket air filter) Ive owned 3 Suburbans and never ot more than about 12mpg with them. Of course that was in my younger, heavy foot days! (and cheap gas)Its a classy looking truck and somewhat rare to find in the 2door body style. I agree with another reviewer here.. ..If you can find one of these in good condition, BUY IT! They dont make them like this anymore. A true classic!

  A real SUV - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By silverado92 - February 19 - 10:19 am

  Great truck! Simply put, if you can find one thats been looked after, dont hesitate. Sure they have some common issues, but what doesnt? Overall it feels safe to drive, comfortable as all heck and the power and capablitities to pull most anything. I am looking to buy another to keep as a spare before they are all gone!

  2 door monsters - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Fish - May 7 - 9:58 pm

  I have a 2 door Tahoe that has been the best vehicle I have every owned. This SUV has seen a lot of road and dirt. With 175000 miles on it I have put this truck through hell and back. I have put very little money into this truck.with no leaks, no smoke, great handling, this still a very reliable monster. The only disappointment is that Chevy does not make a 2 door Tahoe any more.

  Solid after all these years - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By ct - March 19 - 9:44 pm

  This has been a great truck. I drive it off road about 4 weeks a year and in the snow during winter in Colorado. It handles either great as well as dry pavement. It could get better mileage but hey, its a full sized SUV what do you expect?

  Awesome Truck - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Tahoe Fan - February 25 - 1:27 am

  Being 68" its the only vehicle I can drive 15 hrs and still be able to walk afterwards. Added K&N intake and comp cams components to engine great edition. Gets close to 18 around town and 20 on freeway. Planning on replacing brakes with aftermarket disks. Found Optima battery to solve charging problem and genuine AC Delco alternator, havent had a problem since. Keep fuel above quarter tank and fuel pump lasts a long time. Recently was in a horrible wreck where vehicle was totalled, no passengers were injured, vehicle did everything it was supposed to. Love it so much am going to buy it back and do a frame up rebuild. Recommend one to anyone looking for used SUV just keep up on maintence

  I Cant Complain - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By BiggWaukegan - November 7 - 8:59 am

  Rectently bought my 97 Tahoe Lt 4 door 4wd with 122,000 miles on it. This is the best vechile Ive ever owned hands down. Very comfortable, a nice powerful Vortec 5700 motor suits it well. Ive got a nice high ride, nice comfort inside and plenty of room for the kids. I live in the Chicago area so the weather here can get rough. But with the push button 4wd were ready. This truck is true Chevy. Love it. Got a great deal on it too. Under $6000.

  Go Chevy - 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By mr.paradise - July 21 - 11:41 pm

  I purchased my Tahoe in 02 w/74k. She was a 1 owner with a fresh tranny! This SUV is the bomb! Done the average repairs: fuel pump, pittman arm, brakes and rotors. Rides great @75mph. Just remember it is a heavy SUV! You can not drive it like a car and expect the same results. (brakes, fuel economy,maintenance) My tank- Tahoe is holding its own at 167,000 miles with no signs of engine problems. If you are going to buy used, forget Ford and Dodge. Go Chevy
