What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe
"BEST SUV Ever!!"
"Chevy TAHOE Z71 4x4(completely loaded)Purchased 19-20yrs ago brand new. All miles put on by me, the original owner. After proper maintenance and we’ll kept exterior and interior; this SUV is worth every dollar. It has travel all over the United States and then some. This TAHOE is the true meaning of workhorse. It is so versatile for any occasion. Such a strong 5.3L engine and yet it runs so quietly. I ABSOLUTELY love, love, love my TAHOE. It has been so dependable and reliable. It has carried me and my family so many places safely. While in the middle of moving to another state, my TAHOE safely and securely slept 4 adults and 2 toddlers. And pulls trailers, has hauled an 11ft patio umbrella, a stove, 28 bags of mulch, a push mower, a dining room set, several bags of landscaping rocks, and more. So much room in this AMAZING SUV."
"A very reliable workhorse of a machine."
"Purchased second hand and has been working hard for over 8 years continuous service. Relatively easy to service. Parts are quite available and reasonably priced. This machine has had no issues to speak of other than regular maintenance. It pulls my trailer with ease. The short wheelbase is normally convenient but tricky when pulling. This machine has been very reliable and I will hate to see it go in the future. I'm not convinced the newer versions are any better but they're much more expensive."
"The Best"
"I have an 02 with over 200,000 miles and it's amazing. Just look on the road. These are over 20 years old and you still see tons of them on the road."
