Default How is a Chevy Tahoe car? Any owners here?

Frankly speaking, I am thinking to buy a Chevy Tahoe as I like how it is well-designed and its parameters.
Will it be worth to buy a used Chevy Tahoe and pay extra dollars for the New one?
Are there any owners here? Are there any unique, specific things in this car?
Where can I buy it? Any reliable dealers?

Think that it will be reasonable for you to buy a new one. You know, a Chevy Tahoe is a really good car. When driving on a long trip on a highway with the cruise control on, a Chevy Tahoe will likely only need 4 of the available 8 cylinders to stay at the right speed. This allows the Tahoe to reduce fuel consumption and allows for a Chevy Tahoe to have an average highway fuel economy rating of up to 21 miles per gallon.

I found out it here: Chevytahoedenver.com - these guys sell good cars at reasonable rates. I've noticed that the customer is allowed to put so many miles on the Chevy Tahoe in Denver per year. This option is an excellent choice for anyone who does not put many miles on their vehicle each year although it is often not suitable for those who drive long distances often.

I really love my '12 Tahoe. It is comfortable, handles well & I am happy with the towing. I drove mine from CT. to WA. in July of last year. It is an excellent rig.

You must have got that out of some Chevy literature cuz it won't happen in real life. Level hwy up to about 55 mph w/o any head wind is about the limit for V4 operation. Otherwise at 65-75 mph is going to yield about 17-18 mpg. YMMV
