  • This Tahoe was built to last... Mechanically. I can not say the same about the cosmetic side.
    Still, I really enjoy my 2008 Tahoe, which was produced from 2007-2014.

    Just replaced the engine, transmission, radiator and a few other things on my 2009 LS after 286,000 miles. Pretty much still have all the cosmetic issues you talk about in the video, but it’s hard to be this generation Tahoe

      @@pistol850 they are definitely worth the work! Once you change the engine, however, all the little bugs that were hiding will pop up. It’s almost like all the parts get used to running a little bit off, then the new engine engine throws them all out of whack.

    Thank you i am considering one of these or an old Durango. Dont have a budget so these reviews of old high mileage vehicles and the issues that come.with age are helpful to poor folk like me 😊. I think the main feature that draws me to Chevy is the LS based engine. No stupid 18 ft timing chains.

    I have a 2008 Tahoe and she has 225,000 miles on her with original motor and still going strong biggest repair so far was rear differential had to be done early this year. Other than that she is a strong one and she has given me a great 15 years so far. Take care of them they will last!! #chevytough
