2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Review: Good Year For the Expensive And Dependable Used SUV

Alex Showalter
Mar 10, 2022

The 2011 Tahoe can last over 300,000 miles with minor complaints about cracked dashes and window gaskets. At $14,012 – 19,320, it’s worth the money for the reliability.

likeFilled The Good
Passenger room is outstanding, the towing capacity is great and the engine is very powerful.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The suspension rides rough like a truck, the third row of seats doesn’t fold flat and has to be fully removed and safety scores are lower than rivals.

Is the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe a Good Used SUV?

  • Yes, 2011 is a good year. We have received a lot of positive owner reviews mentioning a dependable engine, a lot of passenger room, and comfortable seats.
  • Reliability ratings are very good, with only minor interior problems. Tahoes from 2009 through 2014 are all good, and we recommend avoiding the 2015 model because it has more issues.
  • A single powerful V8 engine is available.
  • Fuel economy is poor, at up to 17 MPG combined.

It's a family vehicle with lots of space and dependable
I love the space, it's size makes me and my family feel safe

My Tahoe is a silver 2 wheel drive with over 160k miles on it but it is great.
I like that the Tahoe is big enough for 8 people and it is great for long distance driving. The reliability is good because it is made by Chevy but just like any other thing, sensors fail and maintenance has to be done. This is not something that could be a big problem since the parts are not too expensive. I do not like the leather seats because when it is hot, they're hot and when it is cold, the seats are too cold. It is a 2011 so it does not have all the features that cars have these days but I love my Tahoe.

Fully Satisfied! Luxurious and Very Comfortable.
The Chevy Tahoe LTZ is luxurious and comfortable. The features I like most on this SUV are the open/close of the tailgate by a push of a button, the 3rd row seating that easily folds for ample trunk space, the sunroof and the navigation system. The Tahoe rides smoothly and pulls loads with ease.

It does as advertised, especially in the miles per gallon.
It is roomy and functional. Rides great on the highway. It gets reasonably good mileage on long distance trips.

Great for multiple children!
I love my Tahoe! I bought it to tote my 3 children around and it works very well. We have the captain seats in the middle which is amazing for kids getting in and out to the back row and for getting kids in and out of car seats. The heated and cooled seats are my favorite part of the whole car. It rides very smooth and it's very spacious even in the back row.

Chevrolet Tahoe is the perfect family vehicle
I was looking for a larger family vehicle that offered third row seats along with having four wheel drive. It drives Amazing, is super comfortable and nice to look at. The kids love the third row seats and rear entertainment. It's so much roomier for sporting events and trips. I can also pull my small bumper pull horse trailer. My only downfall is that it will kick from 8 cylinders to 4 cylinders on the interstate, which is suppose to save gas mileage but I don't like it so I installed a product to override this.

This is my 2nd Tahoe and I love it!
This is my second Chevrolet Tahoe and it is the only vehicle I will ever own! Perfect for a small family, yet still sporty too. I enjoy driving large SUVs and trucks. I have never even owned a car! I got my first Tahoe when our first child was born.

Bad motor bad transmission.
Well, the 2011 Tahoe. Had to replace engine at 93k miles. Cheverolet said catastrophic engine failure. No other explanation. Had a perfect maintenance record. $7800. 5.3 LS engine. 95k catalytic converters went bad. $1300. Cheverolet wanted $3500 to replace the header assembly. Found a shop who cut them out and welded in new ones. 98k torque converter disintegrated and destroyed all the internals with it. $3200 to have transition rebuilt. Dropped it off to cheverolet today because the new engine they put in has developed a bad ticking on passenger side. It has 8k miles on it. Other than those little problems, its great vehicle. Big and comfortable. Will I ever buy another chevy or GMC truck. No. Their quality has gone to c**p to put it politely. Aamco said they get one of those transmissions in a week. One as new as 2018. Stay away from chevy trucks and big SUV,s like the tahoe and suburban. Or get a really good extended warranty.

2011 Tahoe probably my worst vehicle buy ever! Can't wait to trade in
At first I loved my Tahoe! But then it started having some problems, first the gear shifts stopped working one night on my way home from work. Plus the check engine light is always on! Even when I go to get it checked out, something is always wrong with this vehicle! Not to mention it is a gas drinker, I can travel down the street and I've already lost a half of tank of gas!

Long driving reliable ride.
Auto has been a nice solid car. No major problems since purchasing. Next time would get another color other than black. Shows a lot of dirt over time & hard to keep clean. Also leather has looked aged over time. Performance of the auto has remained good. The drive has been smooth with no major repairs needed.

2011 Tahoe, tough as a truck, smooth as a luxurious car.
Our Tahoe was low mileage when we purchased it in may 2019, it has performed beyond expectation. We bought to pull our travel trailer and we had to pull it in.100+ degree and even with a little struggle up some hills, it performed well. As a daily vehicle it has really been very good transportation.

2011 Chevrolet Tahoe with third row.
I have had the Tahoe since 2016. It fits all that I need with two kids and dog with a little room to spare. It drives well on the highway and even has off road capabilities. We got the third row seat option but with the third row in there is very little storage or places to put groceries, so we very rarely is it.

What Do Critics Say About the Tahoe?

  • Consumer Reports finds the Tahoe to have a cavernous cabin and above-average owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Tahoe a 4.7/5 and likes the strong engines, but finds the third row to be difficult since they have to be removed instead of folding flat.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the Tahoe 4.5/5 liking the towing capabilities, but faulting the truck-like ride quality.

What Problems Does the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Have?

Problems in the Tahoe include cracking dashboards, water leaking into doors, and rare traction control issues.

Cracked dashboards occurring around 60,000 miles are the number one complaint from owners. Dashes tend to crack when left in direct sunlight. Owners can buy a dash cover costing roughly $70, or replace the dash costing $1,000.

Water leaking into doors is another issue mentioned by owners. When water gets into the doors, it’s a sign of a failed seal at the window. Replacing the parts costs about $250.

Traction control and ABS lights turning on is a rare issue brought up at over 150,000 miles. One owner found the problem to be the brake switch, costing about $350 to replace.

There are 6 recalls including rear axle cross-pin, steering shaft, ignition lock, cooling fan, and air bags. The most serious recall is for the steering shaft, which can cause a loss of steering.

How Long Will the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Last?

A properly maintained 2011 Tahoe should be able to last over 300,000 miles, which is longer than many full-size American competitors. The regular annual maintenance costs are similar to rivals at $675 per year, according to Repair Pal.

As a Tahoe reaches 125,000 miles, owners should prepare to replace spark plugs for $300, engine mounts costing $525, and the fuel level sending unit which costs $900.

accountCircle Tamara J

I have had problems with it but overall it has been reliable. I am honestly not sure of the problem but my husband got it fixed and it has been working fine since.

accountCircle Doug B

It is very reliable. My family has gotten a lot of miles out of this vehicle. It is starting to have some problems but it has almost 200 thousand miles.

How Much Is the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Worth?

Blue book prices range from $14,012 – 19,320, making the Tahoe more expensive than rivals including the Expedition or Armada. When new, the price range was $37,980 to $54,570. Depreciation is similar to other SUVs, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Tahoe?

The Tahoe is offered in three main models with various upgrade packages available. Technology is decent with minor updates for the 2010 model year, and a complete redesign coming in 2015.

LS is the entry-level model with:

  • 17-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Cloth Seating
  • Tri-Zone Climate Control
  • Power Adjustable Front Seats
  • 6-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo System
  • Bluetooth and 3.5mm AUX

LT is next in the lineup, adding:

  • 18-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Leather Seating
  • Fog Lights
  • Locking Rear Differential
  • 9-Speaker Bose Stereo System

LTZ is the flagship model and adds features including:

  • 20-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Heated And Ventilated Front Seats
  • Captain’s Chairs In The Second Row
  • Adjustable Suspension
  • Navigation
  • 10-Speaker Bose Surround Sound Stereo

Is the Chevy Tahoe a Safe SUV?

Safety ratings are okay, only getting 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests. There are not many advanced features available, even on the most expensive model.

  • Standard safety features include antilock brakes, traction and stability control, as well as a full suite of air bags.
  • Optional upgrades include a rearview camera and blind spot monitoring.

What Engines Come In the Tahoe?

The Tahoe comes with a powerful 5.3L V8 making 320 horsepower, and is the only engine offered. Performance is decent given its size, taking 8.5 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour. The towing capacity is great at up to 8,500 pounds.

What Colors Does the Tahoe Come In?

How Big Is the Tahoe?

The 2011 Tahoe is similar in size to other full size SUVs including the Yukon and Durango. Passenger room is fantastic throughout the cabin, easily fitting adults in all three rows. The optional captain’s chairs in the second row offer additional comfort.

Cargo space is great with 16.9 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 60.3 cubic feet behind the second, and a maximum of 108.9 with all the seats out. The third row of seating has to be removed and does not fold flat.

Centered wide dash shot

How Does the Tahoe Compare to the Competition?

The highest-rated full size SUV is the more expensive Toyota Sequoia. Where the Sequoia stands out is with more power, but the Tahoe is more luxurious. Both SUVs are good long-lasting choices, but we recommend the Sequoia with lower ownership costs.

Another rival is the more affordable Ford Expedition. The Expedition offers a smoother ride, but in every other area the Tahoe wins out and is more modern. Overall, we recommend the Tahoe since it lasts longer and has more features.

Chevy Tahoe is highly recommended and is spacious and is cost efficient.
Chevy Tahoe is spacious and comfortable. It rides really smooth. To fill up the tank cost $80. The fact that I can add a third row, is awesome especially when family and friends are visiting.

To start off I absolutely love how spacious the vehicle is. Its my fiance and our 4 children and its fits us perfectly. There is 3rd row seating which is amazing, also that little extra space up front makes it all worthwhile. They got an option for the rear passengers to adjust their air condition and heat preference and that works so well with the kiddos because someone is always hot while the others cold. It came with a built in DVD and TV!! That helps so much with the long trips. The trunk space is average.

It had sport mode. Different air settings.
It's very comfortable. Is very reliable. Drives well. I like the extra secret compartments all inside the vehicle. There's different air settings all throughout the car. It also has a sports mode. It can push really fast. There is many reasons I would buy another

Low maintenance and dependable.
Very smooth ride. Love all the features especially the DVD player. Low maintenance. It Is Dependable and I feel safe in it. Heated seats are a plus in the cold weather. Great gas mileage to for an SUV.Very spacious and roomy for all passages and love to drive on long trips. Easy access for all passengers to get in and out and love the push button folding seats and trunk close access.
