What's a good year? Or one to avoid?

I would go with an 04 with barn doors and avoid a special service vehicle. you will also get hydroboost and TPMS.

My '04 LT has heated seats and all the other things that @MassHoe04 and @davidbeaver1 listed. Turned 111k on the clock about a month ago on vaca.

Why? Those fans electric fans will not outlast a hydraulic fan clutch.

As other said, look for Hydro boost brakes. I don't have it and mine were down right scary until i upgraded to NNBS brakes. Also steering wheel radio controls were only available 03-06. If younused them before, you don't realize how nice it is to have them until you drive one without...

I beg to differ. I believe that the electric fans last longer and that the fan clutches likely wear out quicker than you would think because they wear out so gradually and are not checked as often as they should be. I could be wrong but give me electric fans any day.

I'm considering buying a used Tahoe, from years 2000-2006.
Is there a particular year that is better than the others?
What about transmission, how long can I expect it to last, any warning symptoms to look out for?

What's considered too high milage?

I know about some issues that seem common, like fuel pump.
I also see some cheap ones for sale with cylinder misfire, are there any common issue for misfires on these models, or just a whole host of possible reasons?

Curious what you ended up with?
