Overview & Reviews

Autotrac is a new optional automatic four-wheel-drive system that switches from 2WD to 4WD automatically as conditions warrant. A new option package includes heated seats and heated exterior mirrors. Second-generation airbags deploy with less force than last year. A theft-deterrent system is standard, and color selections are modified.

• Lots of cargo space. Powerful V8 engine. Easy to drive.

• Unrefined on-road ride. Mushy brake pedal. Oddly reclined seatbacks.

  Love my Tahoe - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Skylar - January 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought this SUV with 74,000 miles - I bought it very cheap compared to other Tahoes/Yukons I looked at. It now has 110,100 miles on it. I have had some problems with it, but my mechanic tells me that they are pretty uncommon problems - just my luck. He says it will go to 200,000 with no problem. He drives one like mine, too. But, even with the repairs that I have had to do - intake gasket, cracked drums and caliper problems with brakes, and leaking coolant system (not the radiator), I still love to drive it and like the way it looks.

  Mechanical Horror - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Rogeru - September 7 - 2:00 am

  Reliability is terrible. With 80600 miles, I have replaced an alternator & battery, a fuel pump, water pump, have had a rear differential leak, and replaced a leaking oil intake. Mechanic now tells me the fuel pump is noisy and may need replacement (again) after just 12000 miles. Computer readout says there is transmission slippage. Cant wait to dump this piece of *&@#$!^.

  My Red Toy - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By MCox - September 4 - 2:00 am

  Took little kids up skiing and left after a storm. Pulled out of my parking space and drove away while a Pathfinder and a 4-Runner were spinning their tires. Ive dropped the backseat down and used it to move 14 kids around a field, moved a ton of landscaping stone and filled it to the ceiling with cedar fencing. We use it to haul our racecar and trailer and our boat.

  Good Truck for the Buck... - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By SoonerDoc - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Bought it used approx. 6 months ago with 60000 mi on it. Purchased an extended warranty which by other accounts on these trucks was a good idea. Few minor problems was leaking coolant (which warranty covered), also has a slip at low speeds in the steering (have not had this looked at yet), finally the exhaust manifold gaskets leak which causes a knock. All in all though, it has been a great truck. Has not let me down like my POS Ford did many times.

  Great Truck - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By fastben - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought this truck about three years ago. It has had a few minor problems, but nothing out of the ordinary. All cars have problems. If they didnt there would not be a service industry. Love the leather, great sound system, tons of power for a truck that heavy.

  Too little for too much!!!!!!!!!! - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By jwolff - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I just bought this vehicle about 6 months ago and have found out that I really dont like Tahoes! In the begining I loved it but the fact that is so large in size really distortes any acceleration it may have. I think that this vehicle is very comfortable but the styling is not for me. One month after I purchased this vehicle I had to have the tires replaced and the oil lines replaced. I also think that they sould change the placing of the cup-holder and the ash tray. Who the hell wants to reach over their passengers legs to put out a cigarette? Not Me! Right now half of the dash lights are out.

  poor mechanical quality - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By tahoe - October 10 - 2:00 am

  two transmission failures (no reverse) which i am told is very common by dealer. no assistance by gm when only 36,800 miles (800 over warranty). now having abs problems @ 40,000 miles. also common accoring to dealer, but out of warranty. quoted $800.+ to repair. abs controller loses sensor signals at low speeds (3-8 mph) and causes system to engage dropping pedal to floor and losing hydraulic pressure. truck is then impossible to stop.

  Not too bad - 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By earthwindandfire - September 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought this 2WD 4DR new, and still have it as of Sep, 2002. Take good care of it. Just replaced water and gas pump (inside the tank) plus oil and miscellaneous to the tune of $1400 at 66,000 miles. Ouch. Other than that, though, its not too bad. No other major repairs. Fits everything, comfortable seats, lots of legroom for tall drivers (Im 64"), pretty nice stereo. Driver seat leather does wear out, and gets shiny. Not too shabby a vehicle overall. Been driving a Lexes LX470 and a Toyota Land Cruiser, both of which make the Tahoe look pretty bad, I have to say.
