Posted November 10, 200717 yr Im gonna get leather and the 18" chrome wheels either way I go. Ive never bought a Chevy or a Ford so any input would be appreciated.
November 10, 200717 yr I love Chevy's, but that's just the way Dad raised me. The Tahoe IMO looks better. Plus all of the Chevy's dad has owned have been more reliable than his Ford vehicles.
November 10, 200717 yr That is a big misconception about Ford especially their trucks. Read Consumer Reports and you'll see how they rate the new Ford's and Lincoln's. Personally I like the look of the Tahoe. I need to know if you'd be getting the equivalent Tahoe 'Limited' or is that just on the Expedition?
November 10, 200717 yr I'd go with the Ford. To me the Chevy Tahoe looks like a rectangular mini-van. Great if you have a big family though, I guess.
November 10, 200717 yr I'd go with the Tahoe, better powertrains, better interiors, better looks. Hell, you could even get a Tahoe Hybrid if you felt so inclined.
November 10, 200717 yr Get the Ford if you like spending money on repairs. I've had a F-250 for 6 years and haven't had to repair anything on it ever.
November 11, 200717 yr Author I'd go with the Tahoe, better powertrains, better interiors, better looks. Hell, you could even get a Tahoe Hybrid if you felt so inclined. Funny you mention it because I just found out today that they offer the Tahoe in a Hybrid version. I'm gonna look further into it because I'd be really into that. Im guessing its gonna cost at least 4K more though. And I agree completely that it looks better than the Expedition.

Personally I like the look of the Tahoe. I need to know if you'd be getting the equivalent Tahoe 'Limited' or is that just on the Expedition? No I would get the equivalent. I think they call it an "LTZ". Here's the deal, I want the Tahoe. Bigtime. But my wife is all about the Expedition cause the 3rd row seating folds down (all power) and it has a higher safety rating than the Tahoe. She has dug in pretty deep on this. It could go the full 10 rounds and go to the judges. Real close.
November 11, 200717 yr I've had bad experiences with Chevy's in my family history, and especially with my car that I just traded in (Monte Carlo) but my cousin had an S-10 for 13 years and it worked great until the end.
November 11, 200717 yr Get the Ford if you like spending money on repairs. I've had a F-250 for 6 years and haven't had to repair anything on it ever. Meh, I've had a Ford Focus for about 3 years and it's had to have f***ing everything repaired. I guess they do trucks better.

He thanks God every morning that he wrecked that piece of junk, because now he drives a black 97 Pontiac Bonneville(it is a beast, for a six cylinder)
November 11, 200717 yr if the chevy tahoe hybrid is anything like the ford escape hybrid.... good luck!

You won't see the Chevy Tahoe's in show rooms till early next year even though they were scheduled to be release in the Fall of '07. Just letting you know.
November 11, 200717 yr With regard to a hybrid, be careful. If you're looking to have this car long term (significantly longer than the warranty), hybrid parts will be much more expensive should you require work on the vehicle. Then again, I would hope that within the next 5 years, hybrids will be more commonplace than today...thus less expensive for parts (depending on whether we end up switching to alternate fuel sources).
November 11, 200717 yr Get a minivan. One of the new ones with one of those game tables and swiviling chairs in it. Those are soo sweet.
November 11, 200717 yr Get the Chevy.. Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily OR Found On Road Dead . :lol = Retarded.
November 12, 200717 yr Get the Chevy.. Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily OR Found On Road Dead . Ford = FIRST ON RACE DAY Yeehaw git 'r done!
