1999 Chevrolet Tahoe review from North America
"The best purchase I have ever made Period!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signals stopped working on the way back from florida. burned the fuses and took the multifunction switch with it. Turns out its the dealers fault for not wiring up the trailer wiring harness correctly. After some arguing, they fixed it for what I initially paid.
Dealer put too small of a battery in it so this beast almost doesn't have enough power to start when its really cold. (Not the right CCA rating) Again, not the trucks (or GM's) fault. The dealer dropped the ball.
Fuel pump went first day I had it pulling my boat back from the lake. Dealer paid the whole bill... even towing. Deler believes this was defective from day one. You would not believe the power this rig has now! ;-)
General comments?
Strong as an ox! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret buying this truck. The dealer needs to be hung from a tree and beaten with a shovel for going cheap on the repairs and service on this thing. Now that I go to a different dealer the truck is fine.
Rear seats fold completely flat.!
Leather seats are the most comfortable of any car I have ever had. I find myself paying the fuel bill willingly because its such a pleasure to drive.
More power than it knows what to do with... it took a lot of getting used to when the first snow came. This will spin all four tires with too much throttle. Plus it will hit the top of just anout any on ramp at 90-100 if you ask it too.
ABS stops this truck and any trailer cold.
It's a very big, very heavy truck that doesn't drive like one. Feels stable at all speeds and in all situations.
Transmission is brilliant... Knows right where its supposed to be at all times.
Will pull anything you chain to it (stumps, cars in the ditch, you name it)
I was expecting the horrid mileage I got with my 97 expedition (8-10) but this truck delivers 21 on the highway. It even gets 16 pulling my 3500 lb boat!
