I recently purchased a 2003 Tahoe and found out this website, still I am not so sure what version I own as it just a Tahoe (doesn’t say anything like LT, LS) I also own a Chevy Astro and I’m from time to time on this similar website to this call www.astrosafari.com/ it’s the same thing as this but for Astros :p Still I want to find out the specific information on my new car as in an Astro by the VIN number you can determine specific things like it’s a V6 Z 4.3L TBI RWD. Z represents a body model or so I think :p and TBI the fuel system that it has.
Not to long ago I found out that my 03 Tahoe doesn’t have a cabin air filter so is there anything in the VIN # or some were that might separate an 03 Tahoe that does have a filter and one that doesn’t? Ooo and it has BOSE factory sound system but its missing the rear sub and other Tahoes have regular sound system but with the sub included.

Hope it makes sense but long story short how to know what version I own? :p
Thanks for your time reading this

Adjustable pedals? Leather? Color of door handles and mirrors? 03 and up don't have cabin filters. There are lots of differences for 03 and up.

Wow way faster replies here
Adjustable pedals? NO Leather? NO Color of door handles and mirrors? BLACK PLASTIC. I saw some were that half the year of 03 do have cabin filters and the last half of the year and so on were sealed. Mine seems to be the very basic but I guess with the special request of Bose system and every thing electric like power windows mirrors cruising control.

Ill give it a check in a bit Donnie Thanks

If you have color matched mirror covers and door handles, that basically means its an lt.

the link donnie gave you is a vin decoder, it will tell you all the options that your truck has

and the fact that you dont have a sub in the rear is because in 03 they moved the sub into the center console, they kept the mold for the rear plastic just with no holes in it

sounds like you have the base of the base model to me. those trucks usually say LS or LT or Z71 behind the rear door if there any. the only time there is no badge on it is either if the previous owner de-badged it or its a base model truck that doesnt have any package
