By far the best car I've owned.

By far the best car I've owned. I've had my Tahoe since 2011, it has around 80k miles when I purchased. It's been run as an emergency vehicle in the years since, used hard and driven like a bat out of xxxx... The transmission finally gave out at 315,000 miles. Definitely can't complain about getting 13 years of 911 lights and sirens response out of it!

A very reliable vehicle

My thaoe has been in my family for a while she was bought used I can’t remember how many miles but it now has 260k miles and it has been the most reliable vehicle we have owned it has never broken down on the side of the road or left me stranded it always crank up first try it never complains when I get on the gas pedal it’s always responsive and only recently I have had engine problems the aluminum heads cause problems sometimes with the spark plug threads and after putting a new head on the truck has since blew it’s radiator even after it blew up on me the truck still drove 10 miles home going highway speed and only barely overheated when I pulled in my driveway the truck has always towed my tractors heavy loads of scrap metal and other things it’s a good tow rig family vehicle and over all just good vehicle it does what it needs and is very reliable it has never done me wrong not left me stranded so it’s a very reliable vehicle and really good first vehicle just be careful with the pedal since the 5.3l is not the easiest on gas usage.
