What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

"Best vehicle ever! Built to last!!"

"This truck has never let me down. Replacing the original brakes after 134000 miles! That sums up how solid this vehicle is thru and thru... engine still runs strong. Other than regular maintenance, no issues to report to date. I’m the original owner."

"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."

"Will keep this vehicle forever"

"Can't say enough good things about this truck. Have owned it since it was brand new in 2002 and have had no major problems with it. Aside from things like a water pump, new belt, plugs and wires, nothing has failed on it. I'm convinced this truck has at least another 185,000 miles left."
