2003 chevrolet tahoe review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Substantial upgrades to a superb package. introductionthe 2003 chevrolet tahoe is packed with new features and engineering improvements. America's best-selling full-size suv, the tahoe is just the right size for many folks. Big enough to haul busloads of people and boatloads of cargo, the tahoe is more manageable than a suburban. Chevrolet claims the 2003 model brings more than 40 major changes. Some of the new features are dazzling, some of the changes are subtle, and some are quite technical. It all adds up to a safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable vehicle that builds on the tahoe's excellent platform. safety improvements abound: gm's stabilitrak electronic stability program is available for improved control on slippery surfaces. New airbag systems are designed to better protect children and adults of various sizes. Adjustable pedals are available for improved safety for drivers of smaller stature. The brakes have been improved. new features dazzle: xm satellite radio delivers cd-quality music, radio, sports, and other programming coast to coast. A rear dvd entertainment system with wireless headphones keeps the kids busy. Second-row bucket seats are available. Improved controls for audio and hvac (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) along with an enhanced driver information center make life in the tahoe a little more convenient. the tahoe is the perfect size for many people. It carries a lot more cargo than a compact or mid-size suv like the trailblazer. Third-row seats are available to increase the capacity to seven passengers. Pulling a trailer is no problem with the optional 5. 3-liter v8 and the tahoe's stable platform. Yet the tahoe is far more maneuverable than a suburban, important in crowded parking lots, underground garages, or when parallel parking. And it'll fit in more garages. on the road, the tahoe is smooth and stable, a rock. It has plenty of power and its brakes work well. The cabin in the 2003 model is comfortable and familiar, friendly and functional, better than the 2002 models. Turn off the highway and the tahoe handles gravel, rugged two-tracks, mud, and snow. It's a great choice for someone who needs real carrying capacity. . lineupthe 2003 chevy tahoe is available in ls and lt trim, plus there's a z71 off-road package. Two v8 engines are available, the vortec 4800 and the vortec 5300. The vortec 5300 700) is optional. Tahoe ls 4wd retails for $36,305. the lt package 4,010) turns the tahoe into a luxurious truck with leather seating surfaces, tri-zone automatic air conditioning, 60/40 split folding middle bench seat, bose nine-speaker am/fm stereo with six-disc in-dash cd changer, rear audio controls with dual headphone jacks, color-keyed door handles, power heated mirrors with turn signals and ground illumination. lt comes standard with the vortec 5300 v8 rated at 285 horsepower, which is 10 more than the vortec 4800. More important is the difference in torque: the 4800 is rated at 290 pounds-feet of torque, while the 5300 is rated at 325 pounds-feet of torque. This is an attractive truck, though with its conservative and familiar styling, the tahoe doesn't stand out. It is essentially a shortened version of the chevy suburban and shares much in common with it. the tahoe is 21 inches shorter than the suburban and nearly 8 inches shorter than the new ford expedition. The tahoe is nearly 10 inches shorter than the new chevy trailblazer ext, though nearly 6 inches longer than the standard trailblazer. However, the tahoe is 4 inches wider than the trailblazer ext. The tahoe is the same width as the suburban. new exterior mirrors feature puddle lamps that light up the area around the tahoe. Heating elements keep frost and ice off. The left mirror automatically dims for headlamp glare. If that isn't enough, they remember his and hers adjustments just like the seats. Most important, the tahoe's mirrors are big and afford an excellent view rearward. choose between a traditional rear hatch with a flip-up window or split panel doors, also known as barn doors or cargo doors. Choosing between them is a matter of lifestyle and personal preference. Cargo doors are standard on the base tahoe and optional on the ls and lt models. Cargo doors are more convenient when towing and for other truck chores and they make it easier to control a dog. The dealer can turn off the automatic locking feature. . interiorthe chevrolet tahoe is loaded with new features and interior improvements for 2003. It’s a comfortable, user-friendly, and attractive interior, and the improvements make it even better. New seats, a new center console, a new instrument panel, new hvac controls, and refinement throughout result in an improved environment for driver and passengers. we love the new electronically controlled three-zone hvac system for its sophistication and ease of use. Change the driver's temperature, for example, and it displays the new temperature for a few moments, then display's the passenger's temperature, then displays the driver's temperature again. It's easy to operate the controls with big knobs and a clear led display that's easy to understand. Rear electronic temperature controls improve comfort for second- and third-row passengers and pets. standard is a new manual control hvac system with dual zones that allows temperature differentials of 30 degrees between driver and passenger. We can't guarantee that some of her heat won't venture over into his breathing space, however. Manual rear air conditioning is standard. a new multiplexed electrical architecture makes the tahoe smarter and more reliable. Optional seat heaters are easy to turn on and adjust. Switchgear is nicely designed and easy to operate. The map lights can be aimed. Rubber lined cubbies on the center console offer places to organize odds and ends. The ashtray can be removed to reveal another nice cubby for sunglasses and stuff. Cup holders are well designed. Three power outlets in front and one in back deliver electricity for accessories. Visibility is very good through big windows, but we'd like the option of an electronic park-assist feature to help maneuver this big rig in tight quarters. second-row seating in the tahoe is quite comfortable. A pair of map lights flanks each dome light on the second and third row, a great feature when traveling or accessing gear. The tahoe provides slightly more cargo space behind the second row than the ford expedition does (63. 6 cubic feet vs. 60. 9 cubic f.
