Which is the most reliable year 01, 02, 03, 04, 05?

James, wow...that was so sweet of you to do that, thank you!
I can't believe how helpful you all of you have been.
Yes Wes, I agree but it looks too long.

What do you mean too long?

yes it is a XL, but you might be pleasantly surprised these things drive like or better than a car and the turn radius is fantastic, you can flip a ***** with ease.....and you get extra room

Oh, so it is... I didnt notice. Carry on.

My pleasure ma'am. Yes, the XL is 20 inches longer but I don't even notice it. My wife and daughter were intimidated by its size at first but now they whip around town in my truck like it's a sports car, always tanking the gas mileage and bringing it back empty because they like the sound of the engine as they accelerate!

Wes, you should see some of the ones I didn't provide a link to! LOL

If Denise takes this purchase to the Lord in prayer, He'll provide the perfect vehicle. And the rest of us who are the prayin' type should do so as well.

Don’t forget the 2005/2096 trucks got efans! As I’m told this is better than the clutch driven fans in the 2003 and 2004 models.

I still have a 2003 Tahoe Z71 5.3 that I bought new. It is one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. My advice would be to avoid the longer wheel base XL or Suburban due to bus like handling and avoid any of the all wheel drive models such as the GMC Denali. Otherwise 2003 and later would be a good model choice. I have always had best luck knowing what I'm getting by buying used from an owner rather than a dealer.

The lwb suv's don't handle bad at all

Having had an 05 XL 4wd SLT 1500, and now an 06 2500 LT 4wd Sub, I can say they DO NOT handle like a bus. My 06 does feel heavier, but still nimble

I have a 2005 4WD Tahoe and a 2005 Denali. Love the STD features of the Denali but turning radius with AWD is way worse than my Tahoe but the Denali has some serious get up and go. The Denali gets about 1 MPG less than the Tahoe so not much diff.
I would skip the Z71's - your just going to pay a lot more for the "Z71" part usually.

I’d say go with an 03+ I personally don’t like cluster, some of the interior etc. in the pre 03 trucks, I’ve got an 03 Silverado Z71 & 04 Escalade I love both trucks but prefer the Escalade
