Pros: Roomy, fun to drive, great looking, and can pack away more than a pregnant woman.
Cons: A few minor noises and brake problems: easily fixed.
The Bottom Line: Bottom line, give it chance. I swear. Give it time, and it'll grow on you. Kinda like a fungus. But one of those really good funguses.
I've had my Tahoe LS for about a year now. I bought it from a friend of mine in my hometown who's dad fixes up wrecked vehicles for a living and sells them back to the public. This was such a vehicle. It only got hit in the back with a few minor...

We have been leasing a 97 Chevy Tahoe for almost three years now. My husband and I did a lot of research before we decided to lease this vehicle, but I guess it just wasn't enough.
The truck was used slightly..had about 15,000 miles on it. It was a...

Pros: Big, comfortable, reliable
Cons: None
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the grand-daddy of the sport utility market. If a tough vehicle is what you want, then that is what you will get in this vehicle. My parents own a 1997 Tahoe 4-door LT that has been their right arm of traveling for the past three...

Pros: Looks good, Lots of space, good power
Cons: squeaks, poor drivetrain,
We bought our 97' Tahoe after doing considerable research on the previous Tahoe model years. We were satisfied that Chevrolet had finally worked out the major problems and was now producing a vehicle that would start to approach Toyota in quality.

A few days ago was my best friends birthday and he got himself a Tahoe. Let me tell you, we drove it around for a while and I found it to be such a great ride that I am going to get one for myself. The room in the Tahoe is unbeliable, the ride is so...

Pros: Power and room
Cons: Quality
I have to be honest, I bought my 1997 Tahoe because my best friend bought a 1996. The reasons were simple, power and interior room. I was a battalion chief in my volunteer fire department and my gear had overflowed the rear storage in my 1987 Jeep...

Pros: roomy, good handling with trailer or in snow
Cons: gas hog, expensive repairs like transmissions
We bought a one year old white chevy tahoe from a dealer in 1998. We were impressed with its roominess and got all the bells and whistles - 4WD, running boards, leather interior, tow package. The only other SUV that we considered was the Chevy Blazer...

First, it is HUGE! There is enough room in the back seat for my son's carseat and both of my...

Pros: Powerful, plush
Cons: Bad brakes, steering, transmission, body noises, depreciates rapidly. Leaves you stranded.
The Bottom Line: Disappointed with poor brakes and other expensive repairs, unexpected breakdowns.
There has not been a Chevrolet product in our family for 20 years, after an experience with a lemon '77 3/4 ton pickup. Twenty years later I made the mistake of buying another one. I bought this 1997 Chev Tahoe as a 6 month old lease return, with ...

Cons: Can be expensive
Okay, you usually do not see commercials for this vechicle, they are usually for the Blazer and the Suberban. But let me tell you that this car does not suffer at all because of that. In case you are wondering this car is kind of a cross between the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: More power than older 350 TBI engines.
Cons: Engine reliability. Interior comfort.
The Bottom Line: Avoid the 97's. GM just seemed to have too many problems this year.
Before this truck I owned 92 and 94 Suburbans. I thought I'd get something with a better turning radius and a little more power (the 5.7 vortec produced more power than the older 350TBI). 1997 seemed to be a bad year for GM Trucks. The then new ...

Pros: Great size and comfort, wonderful value for the money
Cons: Terrible gas mileage, lack of up to date amenities on the dashboard
Talk about being sorry! I just got through leasing a 1997 Tahoe. I wanted to lease another SUV. I looked at all the other SUV's. Many are too small, size and power wize, and some are too big (trust me, you will have to park it someday in a parking...
