The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe can last around 250,000 miles with some minor dashboard and oil consumption problems. At $9,107 to $11,860, it’s a good value for a dependable and capable SUV.

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Review, Problems, Reliability, Value, Life Expectancy, MPG (1)

The Good

The cabin is quiet for a large SUV, the seats are extremely comfortable and the towing capacity is excellent.

The Bad

The third row of seats have to be removed and don’t fold flat, the suspension is floaty feeling and the base models are missing the extra airbags found in higher-end versions.

Is the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe a Good Used SUV?

  • Yes, 2008 is a good year for the Tahoe. Owner reviews praise the durability, high towing capacity, and the passenger room.
  • Interior quality is average compared to other large SUVs, the entry-level models have some cheaper fabric, but overall materials are good, and the technology is above average.
  • Reliability ratings are excellent. Avoid models from 2007, and go with a 2008 or newer which have fewer mechanical problems.
  • Performance is good from the base V8, but the larger V8 options are a better choice for people that need to tow.
  • The 2008 Tahoe is reasonably safe, earning 4 out of 5 stars overall in government crash tests, but the high suspension gives it 3-stars in the rollover test.
  • Fuel economy is worse than average, only getting 16 MPG but the 26 gallon fuel tank gives owners around 416 miles of range.

2008 Chevy Tahoe LT Review

My vehicle has been very reliable for my family and I for the past 10 years. The only problems we have had are door locks sticking.

Danny H

Black lifted 4x4 tahoe. All blacked out

I love my car. Its reliable and affordable. Great family car and great for long road trips. Has tvs inside perfect for the kids.

Debra M

This vehicle was built to last, while providing a luxurious ride.

My vehicle is an LTZ with heated seats, Bose Stereo and a sunroof. It has 287K+ miles on it, with minimal repairs required. Routine maintenance has kept this vehicle running for 10 years, and it's the most comfortable drive ever.

sean f

My Tahoe has only needed regular maintenance. It's been very reliable in the 2 years that I've owned it.

The Tahoe fits me well and has plenty of room for my kids. I wish the 3rd row had a little more room for their growing legs.

Claudia W

The nicest car I have ever owned.

Runs great. Super neat inside. Leather interior. 3 row seats. A/c works awesome. Plenty of room. Only bad thing it there's not much room in the trunk for groceries. Outside color is blue. Good on gas. I go everywhere in and out of town. The perfect car for a big family.

Breanne B

Comfortable with plenty of room. Has held up well with 2 kids in car seats also. Sound system is great too.

Super reliable vehicle. We have had no problems and has plenty of room for a family of 4! Highly recommend!!

Josh B

The most important thing that others should know about my car is that it is 4wd.

What I like about my vehicle is its size. I like riding higher than most other drivers on the road. My only dislike is that it is getting a bit old.

Trent W

Let's you know if something is wrong.

Bought my wife a used Tahoe in 2015 and I have had a little problems but nothing like a new motor or transmission. I keep it up like changing the oil every 5000 miles and added a k&n air filter to give it better gas mileage and a few more horsepower but other than that it has been a very reliable vehicle.

Negative Owner Reviews

Devin E

That it has lots of space

I like the room and the space it has. I have had nothing but problems with it since I got it from a shady dealership

Darlene C

I do not like my 08 Tahoe!

Constantly having problems with the brakes. The leather seats and armrest are splitting. My dash is so cracked I have stuffed napkins in places to keep it from rattling around. Half the time the door locks don't work and had to replace window motor. Not mention the airbag recall.

Kerrey L

A Tahoe is a great investment !!

I love my Tahoe. We have had hardly any issues at all and it is really good on gas mileage. I love the option to be able to add the third row for extra travelers.

Kris B

Engine nightmare but the size is nice.

I had to have the engine rebuilt less than 6 months after purchasing. It has electrical problems. I like the size not too big not too small. I do not like not having bucket seats. I do not like the cloth interior. I like the trunk space and being able to remove the third row.

Sara H

It is very spacious and can haul a lot of people and things!.

While I like the vehicle, it is somewhat large for my taste. It is expensive to fill the tank, and it does not have a backup camera which I like.

Teresa S

It's a hummer you didn't give me that choice. Like the hummer

Nice ride it's old but still in good shape i like it

Glacier M

It gets 6 miles to the gallon in town, and 9 on the open road.

I think that it is a gas hog. I prefer my car to be small, quick and close to the ground, the Tahoe is to big, it is a box on wheels. The Tahoe would be better with rack and pinion steering, and it needs to get better gas mileage at least 25 miles per gallon.

Stacey F

The Tahoe is a bigger SUV. It has third row seating.

My Tahoe has been a dependable vehicle. However, it is a bit of a gas hog. I know the newer Tahoe are more fuel efficient. I would like to trade mine in on a newer version. I have not had many issues with my Tahoe. I get it serviced regularly and use a high grade gas in it.

What Do Critics Say About the Tahoe?

  • Consumer Reports says the Tahoe rides comfortably on the highway, and has above-average owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Tahoe a 4.4/5, praising the space for 9 passengers, but Edmunds doesn’t like the very soft suspension.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the 2008 Tahoe 4.5/5 and enjoy the highway performance, but owners don’t care for the high fuel costs.

What Common Problems Does the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Have?

The most common problems found on the 2008 Chevy Tahoe include cracked dashboards, excessive oil consumption, and broken door handles. Overall, these issues are fairly minor compared to other large SUVs from the same year.

Cracked dashboards are the most common complaint from owners at around 95,000 miles. The plastic on the dash cracks as it expands and contracts when exposed to direct sunlight. Replacing the dash costs about $1,000, and some owners install a dash cover for under $100.

Excessive oil consumption is another issue reported by owners at roughly 100,000 miles. Many Tahoe owners simply check the oil regularly and add oil as needed. Some choose to rebuild the engine, which costs about $1,800 for new parts.

Broken door handles are another problem that shows up on 2008 Tahoe models at around 60,000 miles. The plastic linkage between the door handle and latch wears out inside the door. Replacing the handle assembly costs about $300 per door.

There are 4 recalls on the 2008 Tahoe which is better than many rivals. The most serious recall is for the heated windshield washer system, which can increase the chance of a fire.

How Long Will the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Last?

A properly cared for 2008 Chevy Tahoe should last around 250,000 miles, which is about 50,000 miles longer than rivals like the Ford Expedition. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other large SUVs, at $633 per year, according to data from Repair Pal.

Since most 2008 Tahoes will have over 100,000 miles owners should be prepared to replace items including the oil cooler for $450, brake booster costing $700, and the camshaft position sensor, which costs $170.

Catherine M

The Tahoe has been mostly reliable. The only problem I have had was with the fuel line that had to be replaced 2 years ago. It was very expensive.

Melissa G

Yes it is reliable, I have an older model with lots of miles on it and it has given me very few problems. If you keep up with maintenance it will be a reliable car for a long time.

Molly M

The Tahoe is very reliable. We did have a problem a year ago with the oil, but other than that it has been a very reliable vehicle.

Jenna C

It is reliable but the 5.3 has a variable between 4 cyl & 8 cyl mode which can cause it to burn oil between oil changes.

Thora B

There are no problems with the vehicle. Could maybe be a bit better on fuel. It is very reliable. The 3rd row is nice for when we have the grandkids.

Crystal J

I have had problems with the afm, active fuel management. A few thousand dollars later the problem seems to be fixed. I do feel it is reliable now.

Lindsey H

We had to have something with a recall fixed which was annoying but so far, it's been a good car. I have 3 kids and there's plenty of space for everyone.

How Much Is the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Worth?

Blue book values range from $9,107 to $11,860, making it a few thousand cheaper than a GMC Yukon or Toyota Sequoia. When new, the price range was $34,630 to $39,560. Depreciation is similar to other SUVs, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Tahoe?

There are three models of the Tahoe offered for 2008. The third generation of the Tahoe was launched in 2007, and replaced with a new version in 2015.

LS is the entry-level model with:

What Engines Come In the Tahoe?

  • The base engine is an average 4.8L V8 which makes 295 horsepower and gets up to 16 MPG combined.
  • An available upgrade is the more powerful 5.3L V8 making 320 horsepower and getting up to 16 MPG combined as well.
  • The flagship engine is the very strong 6.2L V8 which produces 380 horsepower and gets 14 MPG combined. The towing capacity is up to 8,200 pounds.

What Colors Does the Tahoe Come In?

How Big Is the Tahoe?

The 2008 Chevy Tahoe is a large 3-row SUV, similar in size to the Nissan Armada and Dodge Durango. Passenger space is fantastic throughout the cabin, but the third row seats have to be removed and do not fold flat.

Cargo space is great with 16.9 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 60.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to 108.9 cubic feet with the seats folded flat.

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Review, Problems, Reliability, Value, Life Expectancy, MPG (2)

How Does the Tahoe Compare to the Competition?

The Chevrolet Suburban is another rival from Chevy costing about $1,000 more. Passenger room and cargo space are both better in the Chevy Suburban, but the Chevy Tahoe’s 4WD system is better in the snow. We recommend the Chevy Tahoe unless you need the extra space offered by the Suburban.

The Ford Explorer is a competitor costing about $3,500 less. Interior materials are higher quality in the Ford Explorer, but the Chevy Tahoe has more room and offers better engine choices. We recommend the Chevy Tahoe since there are significantly fewer complaints from owners.

Engine Issue

I bought my 2008 Tahoe used with 127,361 miles. I drove it 31 days and the engine blew! Then I learned this is due to the engine cuts back to 4 cylinders to save gas. Well after a new crate motor was installed I have noticed that my gas mileage is only 13.6 MPG with both local and highway driving. I loved my older Suburban and my Explorer and I love my Tahoe but the gas mileage is terrible! I have noticed several cracks in the dashboard.

M.Ramirez on February 9, 2023

Over 300,000 miles later and some issues to point out

I’ve had my 2008 Tahoe for a while now , the previous owner sold it to me at 200,000 miles and had only done regular maintenance to it. Now it’s 307,000 miles and i’ve had to replace the AFM lifters once and a transmission once, these engines are infamous for having collapsed lifters and the 4L60 transmission is also known to fail. After installing those part and with the miles it has it gets around 14mpg combined.

Kathy whiten on November 20, 2022

Great ride

I bought a new 2008 chevy tahoe in 08 right off the showroom floor..i love this vehicle still .gonna drive it til it dies.keeping up the maintenance is a must if you want a good safe ride...love this SUV

Jenna C on April 4, 2021

My Tahoe is amazing and fits my needs with 2 kids

I love all the features but wish the navigation has upgrade options cheaper. Love the comfort and feel of driving it. I have the nav. Sunroof, DVD, XM, OnStar, leather z71 ltz package and love everything about it. Definitely my favorite car I've ever owned.

Kristy K on March 31, 2021

It's a hybrid SUV. Wasn't easy to find!

I love that I can carry 7 passengers. I love the size and the gas mileage that I get. Although it does have very little cargo space in the back. It's hard to have anything extra in the car. I have to fold up my back seats just to make room for my groceries.

Jeanne B on March 26, 2021

Chevy Tahoe... Always my dream momma car!

I love my Tahoe. It is a vehicle I always wanted to have once I had children. It has enough space for both my kids and everything we need when we go on vacation. I would definitely make it more gas efficient. It handles great in all weather and 4WD is to par!

Stacey F on March 17, 2021

The Tahoe is a bigger SUV. It has third row seating.

My Tahoe has been a dependable vehicle. However, it is a bit of a gas hog. I know the newer Tahoe are more fuel efficient. I would like to trade mine in on a newer version. I have not had many issues with my Tahoe. I get it serviced regularly and use a high grade gas in it.

liz f on March 17, 2021

The Chevy Tahoe handles well in snow and water. I have 4 wheel drive and use it a lot in the winter to get around.

My airbag light is on. There is a recall but been waiting 2 years for the part. The 1st year I had it the bottom rear passenger door collected water inside door and rusted. The cord for the rear defrost has been glued back on at least 3 times (is now off). I had engine problems. Snow builds up on the bottom of the windshield making it difficult to see out. The Chevrolet emblem fell off. In the third row seating one of the seats will not come up making my car a 6 passenger instead of 8. My check engine light is on because the fuel pump is leaking fumes, which I had replaced twice. Other than that it has over 16,000 miles and still running so I gotta give it that!

Jeanette G on March 12, 2021

2008 Ltz Tahoe still in good condition. Has backup camera feature, DVD player.

I do like my Tahoe because it is roomy for my kids, and it has a DVD player for them. Love the backup camera as well. Also love how the ac vents in the back are up top. But because we travel a lot it does take up a lot of gas. This is only reason why I am considering getting a different car be a of how much gas it use.

Jae M on March 11, 2021

Very spacious, especially for tall drivers and passengers.

Only issue is cost of gas and the frequency we need to fill the tank. Love the way the car performs, and it is appearance.

Lisa S on March 3, 2021

Loaded Chevrolet Tahoe- leather!

Paint bubbling and rust along the wheel wells and handles The suspension brainbox doesn't work for the self leveling. The rear defrost cable came unhooked. The back up camera stopped working. It is amazingly comfortable and drives well, we love taking it on family trips! The ride is outstanding!

Tina G on February 27, 2021

A great family vehicle to use.

I haven't had any problems with my vehicle. It gets good gas mileage and is always reliable. It has plenty of space for everything I need mostly my children as I needed nine seats. The trunk could be bigger in order to accommodate more luggage on trips. However it has a top rack and a hitch so their are other options in storage of things.

Ruth S on February 27, 2021

Will never leave you sitting

Our tahoe has been very reliable. We have had to fix minimal issues in 10 years. It has never broken down or left us stranded.

Ashley H on February 24, 2021

Gas mileage. Seating. Space. DVD player.

I love the room. I hate the gas mileage. I love the DVD player. I hate the storage space. I love the rack on top.

Elizabeth G on February 18, 2021

Reliable 2008 Chevy Tahoe.

My vehicle is fit for a family, has third row seating. Very roomy, equipped with OnStar, power windows, power locks. Great for road trips, has power mirrors. Has hitch for towing package. Third row of seats can be removed for more space. Engine is v8 4. 3 liter vortec. Has a/c dual climate control.

Catherine F on February 13, 2021

The adjustable pedals really impress me.

I don't have any ACTUAL problems with it. I wish it had AC seats and Bluetooth radio. It's very comfortable and rides smooth and quietly. Mine didn't have the backup camera but I never use it anyway. I love that the pedals adjust so you don't have to sit so close to the wheel.

George T on February 7, 2021

Price is great and reliability is great.

The SUV handle very well on the road very dependable very roomy can sit 6 real comfortable plus seat let down to carry a lot of anything can't go wrong with this SUV.

Name M on January 31, 2021

Major fire hazard and high maintenance

The most experience I've had driving this truck for almost 12 years is that sensors go out a lot. Wiring in these trucks can cause a fire, and nobody takes responsibility. My Tahoe has had major electrical issues for months now and no recalls issued or reply from corporate.

Kenneth H on January 29, 2021

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a reliable truck that you can trust to take you to the store and back or across the country while towing your boat or RV.

The Chevy Tahoe is good on fuel and has great towing capacity. It is very comfortable for long trips and is easy to drive.

Breanne B on January 19, 2021

Comfortable with plenty of room. Has held up well with 2 kids in car seats also. Sound system is great too.

Super reliable vehicle. We have had no problems and has plenty of room for a family of 4! Highly recommend!!

Jennifer W on January 14, 2021

Despite it being a large SUV, it gets great gas mileage in the city and on the highway.

I drive a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. I like the style of the SUV, the gas mileage that it gets, the ability to tow if needed, and the overall concept of the SUV. I dislike the fact that the plastic dashboard has started cracking.

Teresa S on January 13, 2021

It's a hummer you didn't give me that choice. Like the hummer

Nice ride it's old but still in good shape i like it

Carol P on December 23, 2020

Comfortable ride spacious.

Drives well and I like sitting up not feel like I am on the ground. If you maintain it. . Great vehicle.

Stephanie J on December 23, 2020

Great vehicle for a bigger family with it seating 8.

Service airbag light is on & service tire pressure light is on getting it looked at Monday. I love the vehicle besides its a gas hog but it's better for my family of 5. Having a baby it's easier to put the car seat in.

Gloria G on December 17, 2020

Spacious and comfortable family vehicle.

Very spacious and comfortable seats. Have had 2 fix the air conditioner twice but other than that no other problems.

Danyel G on November 16, 2020

This vehicle has space galore. You can carry everything AND the kitchen sink.

It is larger than I would normally prefer but it was a gift. I do enjoy having the extra room for hauling and carrying people with me. Still runs like a dream.

Kala S on November 11, 2020

It's a very reliable vehicle. I did my research and ask other tahoe owners and one stated that theirs was a 2001 model with over 300k miles and it still ran like new because they kept the oil changed and kept the maintenance up on it.

I drive a chevy tahoe. I bought it used with 110000 miles on it. I keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and so far everything runs smooth. It's not an extended SUV so the third row is super tight and don't allow for much comfort for anyone that is too tall. It has bucket seats which i thought i would like better than a bench but i don't.

Elizabeth M on October 31, 2020

I do not know what I would do without the DVD player and leather seats!

The Tahoe hybrid is everything my family of 5 needs for convenience, comfort and style. The hybrid saves a tremendous amount of money every week, with the gas mileage we receive. The leather, sunroof, DVD player and space is all I have ever wanted. We usually trade our cars in every 3-5 years and I do not want to let this gem go. We have about 120k miles on it now and it runs like the first day we got it.

Jennifer S on October 30, 2020

Plenty of room for the family and dog! Great travel vehicle and reliable.

We have had our Chevy tahoe for 10 years and have not had any major issues with it other than regular wear and maintenance. Has been an awesome family vehicle! Highly recommend!

Kenneth J on October 29, 2020

Crazy good sound system that comes stock.

After 100, 000 I had to get the motor replaced. Also eventually the electronics go out had to get that replaced. I cannot remember a time when the cruise control worked. Other than that I have had the car for 10 years still looks great and the 5. 3 vortex sounds good.

Debra M on October 13, 2020

This vehicle was built to last, while providing a luxurious ride.

My vehicle is an LTZ with heated seats, Bose Stereo and a sunroof. It has 287K+ miles on it, with minimal repairs required. Routine maintenance has kept this vehicle running for 10 years, and it's the most comfortable drive ever.

Melissa F on October 10, 2020

It has on star. It has reverse sensors

I like the foot and leg room. I like the eco friendly. I like my tv

Sonya V on October 1, 2020

It's a hybrid and has third row seating

My vehicle is a Hybrid Tahoe. I like that it has third row seating. One another perk is the DVD player for the children.

Lisa J on September 26, 2020

Navigation, backup camera and leather are ones I enjoy

I would say it is a great family vehicle. Our children fit comfortably and travel is great in this type of vehicles. It is big to park but I wouldn't say hard to park. If you are looking for a good family vehicle. The Chevy Tahoe is a great option. We only have two kids and a dog so it's perfect for our size family

Jill E on September 13, 2020

It is a very safe vehicle to drive and it handles great.

I love that it is a safe vehicle that is reliable. It handles great. It looks great.

Mark A on September 3, 2020

Maintain your vehicle and it will not let you down. Tires, oil change and daily inspections.

Very roomy for travel and long rides. Great for packing up for a day at the park or beach. I feel safe in it with my family. Maintenance is average worth it for the dependability never been stranded just had to change a tire but that was from my neglect

Kay H on August 24, 2020

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned

My Chevy Tahoe is the perfect size for our lifestyle and I will be buying a new one. For one child, a large dog, luggage, beach/pool gear, long and short trips, etc., this vehicle fits our needs in every instance. Fuel efficiency is reasonable, service and maintenance is easy and can be done by any shop, and has held up to wear and tear better than any other vehicle I have owned. My 2008 model is obviously missing most of the newer tech bells and whistles and has high miles on it, so we will be in the market to replace it in the next 12 months or so. I am not considering any other vehicle, and will drive a Tahoe for as long as they are around.

Victoria P on August 22, 2020

My kids Tahoe they love it.

I love my Tahoe I have 4 kids so the seating is great the DVD player helps keep them calm back there lol. It's very spacious and ac works great GPS is a plus and no problems with motor witch is great and good on gas the back seats adjust to go back so when we go on vacation kids actually are not complaining because there comfortable. It has a sky window so love that feature. The motor sounds smooth.

Lisa P on August 20, 2020

Definitely interested in purchasing the same make and model in 2020.

I have had my Tahoe for 11 yrs. It is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Very roomy and works great for a small or large family. Only downfall is that is a gas guzzler. I have had to have minimum repairs to this vehicle in the past 11 years. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to purchase a SUV.

Jennifer B on August 18, 2020

Chevy Tahoe: great SUV for long or short trips.

It is reliable, though I have had a few issues with the tires. The removable 3rd row is very handy and most times I just take the seats out for extra storage. The SUV has leather heated seats which is a great bonus and I love the sunroof. I was initially worried about gas mileage but it is really not that bad.

Judy D on August 11, 2020

It is reliable and great on gas.

I feel safe. Love the size. There is plenty of room for the family. Pretty good gas mileage for an SUV.

Kelly O on August 5, 2020

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. Perfect vehicle.

We Kenny of room and plenty of power. This year model is very affordable right now. The ride is perfect. The interior has everything you want, except for the memory seat position. We have a slight lift on ours but it still rises like a stick Tahoe. The only other vehicle I would buy would be a newer Tahoe. Honestly love this vehicle.

Diane H on July 30, 2020

The interesting details would be the luxury.

I love my Tahoe its reliable, dependable, its in good condition low on miles. Good on gas inner city and on the highway. The Tahoe holds up to 7 to 8 passengers cushion seats, sunroof entertainment system, alloy wheels and back up camera. All wheel drive, engine v8 and 1 owner.

Bessie B on July 27, 2020

Pre owned 2008 Chevy Tahoe

Since the car was bought pre owned on Craigslist, I can't say much about buying the car from a dealership. The Tahoe is very easy to drive, even for a new driver like myself. I feel like it is a safe car to drive since it is a big car and made of, what seems to me, a very sturdy material. It holds up well in the heat of Arizona's summer. The only problem it really faces is a need for a lot of coolant.

JEANNIE B on July 2, 2020

It is a safe vehicle to drive. Chevrolet gets awards across the board in safety standards.

I have 2 small children and my husband and I like to take them everywhere we can. It is very spacious and a comfortable ride. Although not great gas mileage it makes up for in appearance.

Anne P on July 1, 2020

Reliable family car that makes you feel safe

Very reliable, high mileage and motor still works great. Comfortable seating and easy to take seats in and out. Computer/sensors of vehicle no longer work well but it doesn't affect the performance of the vehicle

Katie M on June 30, 2020

Sound and secure. It a safe and reliable vehicle I love. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable and reliable. Never had any issues and feels very safe and sound. Is 10 years old now but still in great shape and feels newer and safe. Would highly recommend a Tahoe.

Claudia D on June 27, 2020

It's spacious and easy to drive. Safety system one of the best

It's spacious. Easy to drive. Easy to tell of any mechanical problems. Price is worth the vehicle. Easy to get parts.

Kina V on June 26, 2020

It is very dependable, never had any major problems.

No complaints! I love everything about it. From m the color, the leather interior & the sunroof. You can never go wrong with a Chevrolet.

Kerrey L on June 22, 2020

A Tahoe is a great investment !!

I love my Tahoe. We have had hardly any issues at all and it is really good on gas mileage. I love the option to be able to add the third row for extra travelers.

If your looking for a roomie SUV Tahoe is a good option.

Reliability has been great. Problems: tire sensors. Tops sensors. O2 sensors. Steering wheel area peels. Dash cracks. Third row is a great option but not a lot of storage space if you use it on a daily. Ride comfort is great. Features work well that come with it standard.

2008 Chevy Tahoe LT 4WD Review

I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe LT 4WD and I absolutely love it. We have a growing family so the extra space is perfect. There is the third row seating in the back. We have the bucket seats in the middle instead of the three seats, so there's space to walk in the middle. It is actually a very comfortable vehicle. The driver and passenger seats can be heated, there are two charger ports in the front, one in the middle with the bucket seats, and one in the very back with the third row seating. You can control the heating and cooling settings in the front and there is also one in the middle where the bucket seats are for the back. It does have flex fuel, so it does do good with gas on the highway. It does take a lot of gas to fill it up. I have no complaints about our Tahoe, we plan on getting another one in a few months. Definitely recommend it!!
