Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition of the first generation. Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition of the first generation Modifications of Chevrolet Tahoe I

In 1992, the General Motors concern introduced a new full-size SUV under two brands at once: one was called, and the version under the Chevrolet brand received the already well-known name.

However, in 1995 the model was renamed Chevrolet Tahoe, then, in addition to the three-door version, a five-door version of the car also appeared. The extended version of the SUV was called.

It was a traditional SUV with a spar frame and dependent rear suspension on leaf springs. The car was equipped with a V8 5.7 petrol engine developing 200 or 255 hp. s., as well as a Detroit Diesel V8 6.5 diesel engine with a power of 180 horsepower. The drive could be rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

"Tahoe" was sold not only in American market, but also officially sold in some European markets.

2nd generation (GMT800), 2000–2006


Second generation Chevrolet SUV Tahoe debuted in 2000. As before, he had a twin brother - and an extended version - the model.

The car retained its frame structure and continuous rear axle, but the rear suspension is now spring rather than leaf spring. With the change of generations, the SUV lost its three-door version, as well as modifications with manual transmission transmission The Chevrolet Tahoe was equipped with eight-cylinder petrol engines of 4.8 liters (275–295 hp) and 5.3 liters (280–295 hp) paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.

3rd generation (GMT900), 2005–2014


At the end of 2005, the production of third-generation SUVs started in the United States, created on the GMT900 platform, common with the and models. Assembly of machines for Russian market was subsequently organized in Kaliningrad, at the Avtotor enterprise.

Chevrolet Tahoe was equipped gasoline engines V8 volumes of 4.8 liters (295 hp) and 5.3 liters (320 hp) combined with a four-speed automatic transmission. The drive could be rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A few years later, the version with a 5.3-liter engine began to be equipped with a new six-speed gearbox, and the 4.8-liter modification disappeared from the lineup in 2009.

Choosing between a shabby Ford Expedition and a battered one types of Chevrolet The first generation Tahoe is one of the most discussed issues among fans of American second-hand stores. Chevy supporters make an ironclad argument: greater reliability, good maintainability, corrosion resistance...

Ford fans sing the same songs, but also praise handling, road behavior, comfort and convenience. Satisfied Ford Expedition is happy with everything. One traveled half the country in his car - from the Baltic border to the Urals. Another pulled a stalled and loaded tow truck along a winter highway for a good hundred kilometers. Rarely did any of them change any large-scale component such as an automatic transmission, transfer case or axle. Just little things. A pair of ball joints for 80 thousand km. Pendulum. Stabilizer's pole. You'll hear enough and rush to look for Expedition. But I wouldn't rush.

Caressed full-size SUV Ford owners- these are mostly those who bought little used ones, well maintained cars, priced at least 25 thousand dollars, never skimped on spare parts and service. The rest refrain from enthusiasm. It is not surprising, because in America itself the reliability of products under Ford brand treated with undisguised irony. They made up jokes, Mom don’t worry.

The community of Chevrolet Tahoe fans subjectively looks more extensive - many are satisfied with even very old cars. Masters of services with a large flow of clients confirm: the survivability of Tahoe is higher than that of Expedition. This is in general outline, and we have to delve into the details and find out what exactly awaits the future owners of American “suitcases”.

NOT BY US STANDARDS

The Tahoe is structurally stronger than its counterpart. Chevrolet goes great bad roads and their likenesses. No wonder the Ministry of emergency situations chose the GMC Yukon (Tahoe variant) for its fleet. The fact that this model was used by “blue helmets” also speaks volumes. Especially for such organizations General Motors produces utilitarian versions, devoid of leather, air conditioning and electric windows, but equipped with a diesel engine and a reinforced automatic transmission, originally designed to work in tandem with a 7.4 liter engine.

Ford Expedition is a rather unpredictable car. Most of the defects can rather be classified as glitches. When and which one will come out, it is sometimes impossible to understand

The rear spring suspension of the Tahoe (on cars before 2000), although it takes away the remaining handling high speeds, but withstands great abuse. Just don’t forget that the Tahoe’s springs are oak only by American standards, but in Russia they quickly burst. Immediately after purchasing a used Chevrolet, it is better to strengthen them with an additional sheet. Mechanics vouch that it helps once and for all. The sheet must be original! Service technicians do not name any other serial operational defects in the Tahoe suspension.

The Ford Expedition's suspension is known for its weak ball joints, swingarms, and tie rod ends. In particular, the pendulum arm sometimes has to be changed two or three times a year. Often it is destroyed by the elementary greed of the owner. It’s a pity to pay $150 for a native pendulum; instead they take a Taiwanese one, but you don’t have to install it at all, since at the first wheel alignment a person in overalls will recommend a replacement.

LET'S LEAVE THE MYTHS

Rebuilding the suspension, as you know, is not so bad. Repairing the engine and transmission can be much more expensive. The transmissions of both cars work as long as the owner remembers that he is driving a solid, heavy car. Forgetting about driving with dignity and trying to start a race with “charged” cars, you can quickly remember the corresponding price list. It is impossible to say for sure whose gearbox is more reliable - the Expedition or Tahoe. But with a certain accuracy we can declare: Automatic Ford blacklisted by specialized services. They don't like to fix it. The number of returns after repairs have been completed is extremely high. Let's move on to the engines. Who is easier to overwhelm: the Chevrolet Vortec or the Ford Triton? Both engines pull behind them a trail of myths and heroic stories. Participants of the expedition to Chukotka, for example, filled their Expedition with 76-grade gasoline (when there was no other) and calmly reached their destination. I know a person who hasn’t changed the oil on an Expedition for 40 thousand km – and he knows no problems. The Tahoe stories are just as juicy.

Gasoline consumption of more than 20 liters per 100 km is the main problem of the owner

a used Chevrolet Tahoe or its GMC Yukon version. However, many

We are sure that this is a reasonable price to pay for the pleasure of driving a full-size American

Naturally, after such feats, the engines were not diagnosed, and, perhaps, the mechanism of slow death was launched. Therefore, let's leave the myths. Structurally, Vortec is more durable and less capricious than Triton. Vortec – mid-shaft with one chain. The Vortec camshaft is bathed in oil and rarely goes hungry. Triton is top-mounted and stuffed with four chains with a bunch of compensators. Compensators tend to stick due to bad oil, and the chains go wild. Do you always fill with good fuel and lubricants? But who guarantees that one day you won’t come across fake oil?

Both “Americans” need to be serviced every 5 thousand km when used mineral oil and every 10 thousand km, if you use synthetics. How often do you change spark plugs? Platinum ones last 160 thousand km - that's what it says on the packaging. However, no one has yet canceled our gasoline, so sometimes we have to reduce the period by 10 times. By the way, Expedition owners pay $150–250 to replace them - too complicated an operation.


RUBBER RUBBER IS BETTER

Regarding Ford electrics, there is a unanimous opinion among servicemen - it’s buggy. Moreover, in a variety of places and completely unpredictably: either the window lifter or the “machine” switching on all-wheel drive, then heated seats... Chevy has significantly fewer complaints in this regard.

General weakness Expedition and Tahoe have rear air conditioning pipes. They rot into dust and there is no point in buying them. A way to get rid of the problem has long been found. Replace the tubes with rubber hoses. However, the rear air conditioning can be turned off completely, unless, of course, the car is used for entertainment purposes.

Finally, a few words about corrosion. None American car I haven’t yet been a model in this regard, and neither have the two fat old men we chose. Only the Tahoe's body is still more resistant to rot than Ford's iron. If you examine a couple of dozen copies of both brands, this will become obvious.

In general, when buying an old Chevrolet Tahoe or a used Ford Expedition, remember that saving on spare parts definitely ruins both cars - it’s better to immediately forget about the non-original. The Tahoe is more suitable for off-road use - it is definitely more durable and predictable in terms of breakdowns. As for the Expedition, it is recommended not to force it and to treat malfunctions philosophically - then you can quite enjoy using this model...

MODEL HISTORY: FORD EXPEDITION

First Ford generation The Expedition launched in 1996 and was based on the F-150 pickup truck platform. Gamma gasoline engines consisted of two V8 units – 4.6 l and 5.4 l (218 hp and 233 hp, respectively). In 1998, the engines were modernized: the first began to produce 243 hp. s., second – 264 l. With. Introduced in 2002 new Ford Expedition with independent rear suspension and rack and pinion steering. The overall length of the SUV has increased by 2.5 centimeters (while the legroom for third-row passengers has become 22.5 centimeters more spacious). The car frame was made 70% stiffer and at the same time lowered lower. Electronically controlled transmission modes – 2WD, 4WD, A4WD ( automatic switching on all-wheel drive when the drive wheels slip) and 4WDL ( low gear). In 2006, the third generation premiered.

MODEL HISTORY: CHEVROLET TAHOE

The Chevrolet Tahoe has been produced since 1992 and is based on the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Until 1995, the model had only a 3-door body. Gamma power units included two engines: a gasoline 5.7 liter V8 (258 hp) and a diesel 6.5 liter V8 (182 hp) with turbocharging. The latter has been installed since 1994. Transmissions – 5 manual transmission and 4 automatic transmission. The front suspension is independent torsion bar, the rear suspension is a continuous axle with leaf springs. In 2000, a new generation of Tahoe appeared. The car received new body, 5.3 l engine, spring rear suspension and "smart" transfer case Autotrac 4x4 with Auto 4WD, 4HI, 4LO, 2HI and Neutral modes. New engine Vortec, compared to the previous one, has become more powerful (273 hp), economical and flexible. In 2006, the third generation Tahoe premiered.

EXPERT OPINION

Evgeniy, Ford Expedition 2001:

– Initially I was tormented by the question: what to buy – Tahoe or Expedition? I liked the Tahoe better on the outside, but on the inside... For some reason, I came across Chevys in collective farm configurations - on a rag. I am convinced that an “American” must wear leather. Finding a top-end Expedition turned out to be easier. The Eddie Bauer package has everything you need. Leather, climate control, heated mirrors, CD changer, heated seats and memory... Perhaps even more important, Ford is still more “road-friendly”. The leaf-spring Tahoe behaves more like a truck. The Expedition is more comfortable and stable, making highway driving much more enjoyable. I found my car in a car showroom among the second-hand ones, which were sold at trade-in system. I was captivated by the fact that the Ford was serviced in the same showroom for the entire period of its operation and the service technician told me about all the repairs made. The previous owner did not skimp on maintenance. Over the course of two years of operation, I changed the rear air conditioning tubes (replaced with rubber ones). I changed the swingarm twice, they say it's a known disease. Cardan crosspieces and ball joints- Same. Electrical glitches - unpredictable loss of contacts in the heating system driver's seat. Gasoline consumption? I supplied gas - 20 liters per hundred at a price of 9 rubles. per liter

EXPERT OPINION

Vasily, GMC Yukon 1994:

– This car, until it came to me, survived 11 years in the fleet of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The fact itself is remarkable. I paid $8000 and received diesel car with a 6.5 liter eight-cylinder engine. The equipment is spartan - without air conditioning and electric windows. Upon inspection, it turned out that the rear axle shaft was bent and the front driveshaft was missing. Plus cracked dashboard, which seems to have been touched face-to-face. It was clear from everything that the EMSS men were rushing through fires and hot spots. The turbine was driving oil (however, it has been driving oil for 20 thousand km). I didn't find any traces of rust at all. One day I was driving, not bothering anyone, at a speed of 60, because I knew there were traffic cops in the bushes ahead, but from these bushes a VW Passat flew into my left front fender. If it weren't for the high American frame design, I would have been in the hospital. He escaped with a minor bruise. The car was damaged more. The headlights fell out and hung on the wires, but they worked. The edge of the frame is bent. We replaced the bumper, hood, fender, driver's door, fan and oil radiator. “Now you’ll definitely sell it,” I heard from friends. “Now I definitely won’t sell it!” – I answered and during the repair at the same time I lifted the “American” for the installation of 35 wheels. In total, 60 thousand rubles were spent on restoration. It turned out that there were a lot on sale body parts from Taiwan, but they are almost twice as thin and you can only trust them conditionally. But Asian optics are just right. A rear block light, for example, costs 450 rubles. In the summer in the city, diesel consumes 14.5–16 liters. In winter 18–20 l. During the cold period, after minus 15, it will not start without additives. You can't live without Webasto.

Reviews from Chevrolet Tahoe I owners

Chevrolet Tahoe I, 1998

The main motive Chevrolet purchases Tahoe I served as an all-American, muscular, brutal, classic and eye-catching design and powerful motor V8. So, as far as comfort is concerned, I would note low level noise in the cabin, everything you need is at hand. The only thing, of course, I don’t understand is why the Chevrolet Tahoe I, a seemingly full-size cult car, has an interior made of cheap plastic. And so, in general, you get pleasure not from how many positions and adjustments your seat has, but from the feeling of being elevated above the road. The visibility of the hood enhances these sensations significantly, you want to drive this car and not stop, but the terrible fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Tahoe I, which is 85 l/400 km in the city and 80 l/400 km on the highway, overshadows these sensations, but not much . Of course, the handling and brakes are initially after executive sedan, didn’t seem very good, but I got used to it in a couple of days and now it’s scary to imagine and remember how people can even ride passenger cars, even executive class. This huge American rides confidently and smoothly, rather even floats, you get the feeling that you are on a ship on the waves. First the car lifts its nose, then back, not like on cars - everything will jump and everything will land. For long trips and outings for picnics best car can not found. In Chevrolet Tahoe I if unfolded backseat, then without exaggeration it turns out to be a 2-meter, 3-bed flat bed. Therefore, you can use it anywhere and with anyone. You can ride and ride the waves all day. With all this smoothness, the car doesn’t roll at all, and you can’t bend it when turning. Regarding cross-country ability, I’ll say this, you can plant anything, and it drives confidently in deep, slightly settled snow (it’s just above my knee with my height of 187 cm), but in general it’s a pity to drive it through the mud, it’s old and, in principle, that’s not what it was created for, to overcome unrealistic fords and potholes.

Advantages : huge. Powerful. Unique. Recognizable.

Flaws : cheap salon.

Chevrolet Tahoe I, 1997

What can you say about this car? This great SUV, it's just a friend. When you drive a Chevrolet Tahoe I in traffic, you have no equal, “Tahoe” is not a car, it’s a way of life. Yes, it is not particularly controllable, and its steering wheel is not informative, but driving it is a pleasure. “Tahoe” and “Gelik” are almost the same thing, even the sound of the engine is similar. I’ll say right away that you need to love this car so that it will give you long and faithful service. Maintenance is not expensive. I bought it in 2003 in excellent condition. I went and enjoyed it. In 2009, problems began, I changed the seals on the drive, ball seals, fuel pump, and of course all the “consumables”. Briefly speaking special problems I don't have it with him. We just don't kill him. Dirt for him - nonsense comes out almost everywhere. The car is excellent. I recommend it to everyone. But you need to take the Chevrolet Tahoe I to good condition, otherwise he will “undress” you. Fuel consumption is 23 liters - this is in the city, and in quiet mode, “kickdown” - 35 liters, but he doesn’t like it, highway - 12 liters. Tahoe likes a calm, measured ride. Yes, he is respected on the road, no one gets under him, everyone gives way. Credit for appearance and popularity in the 90s. The question is whether I will change it. To be honest, yes, but only when they make exactly the same Chevrolet Tahoe, only new. By the way new model that's not it. The 1995-1999 Tahoe is a classic, but the rest (new models) are just a parody of a truly real car.

Advantages : so many.

Flaws : I do not see.

Chevrolet Tahoe I, 1997

I purchased a Chevrolet Tahoe I in the winter of 2007, just in time for New Year I gave myself a gift. The mileage was 135 thousand km, I took it for 499 thousand rubles. The first problem arose immediately after receiving the license plates; I tried for a long time to drive away from the MREO, because... I didn’t feel the size and the movement was dense, in the end, come what may, and everyone made way. In general, for the first 1.5 years I drove without problems, crawled to the beaches, drove through the forest, and was happy. At 140 thousand km I was left without all-wheel drive and went for repairs. The costs were surprising: overhaul of the transfer case with replacement of the chain and all bearings, overhaul of the front gearbox with replacement of almost everything, replacement of all shock absorbers, new brake drums, all the pads, spark plug wires and distributor cap, and some other nonsense - all the work and work cost 100 thousand rubles. After which I realized that the Tahoe is not an SUV. And off we go - “lift”, 33rd tires. In general, the more I invest, the further I get stuck from the road (the further to follow the tractor). In general, I’m happy with the car, I don’t have any problems with spare parts. Of course, reliability leaves much to be desired, but this does not concern vital important nodes, so, the light bulbs burn out, the buttons work the second time, but I’ve come to terms with it. I'm glad that the car came with a new generation transfer case, like the 840, with auto 4WD mode - an irreplaceable thing in winter. For those who are planning to take something similar, I’ll say: if you’re taking a big car, be prepared that the gas will run out very quickly, especially in the first six months (excitement), it will also slow down like big car, and swing, no one has canceled the laws of physics, even for prestigious all-wheel drive vehicles. Regarding the interior - since I often travel out of town into the forests, the interior is pleasing, when unfolded back row- the bed is 1.7 by 2.2, while being perfectly flat.

Advantages : dimensions. Traction. Visibility. Comfort.

Flaws : permeability.

Alexander, St. Petersburg

Chevrolet Tahoe I, 1997

I never wanted either “Japanese” or “Korean”; I never thought about “Europeans” at all. A year ago I bought a classic Chevrolet Tahoe I. What I wanted - powerful, comfortable, no frills in the cabin, everything is in front of you. It floats along the roads like a ship (it’s even scary when you’re not used to it), you can talk in a whisper in the cabin, there’s silence and only the rumbling of the engine sometimes (when you push the “slipper” and push the “basins” with “stools” apart). Everything is done for man (you can feel it). IN Chevrolet repair Tahoe I is simple and convenient, you can fit anywhere, the entire suspension is injected and if you “don’t click the beak”, then it will last for a lifetime. What else? I changed the thermostat in 15 minutes, the belt (I have only one) in five, water pump I adjusted it with cuffs from GAZ-53. It climbs everywhere, but it’s not designed for the Camel Trophy, and it’s of no use. For safety reasons, I would not advise anyone to get under this device, there are two meters of protection in front of you and the frame is wider than that of some buses. The 5.7 engine eats any gasoline. Having traveled 900 km. With two stops to eat and to go to the toilet, you feel as if you never went anywhere. In short, for me personally I don’t need another car.

Advantages : soft running. Safety. Reliability. Simple design.

Flaws : I do not see.

Chevrolet Tahoe I, 1998

So, Chevrolet Tahoe I 1998. volume 5.7, 254 hp I purchased this “baby” in 2008 with a mileage of 240 thousand. this moment 3 years, 275 thousand. He came to me in good condition technical condition. During operation, love for it grew with the amount of funds invested (350 thousand rubles). The influence of double penetration. Firstly: you invest money and realize that the car is really priceless. Secondly, the more you invest, the better its technical characteristics (investments were based on technical part). Changed: springs, stabilizer struts (rear, front), shock absorbers (rear, front), balls, front left hub, tips, steering wheels, etc. I went through the transfer case, front axle. All consumables - oils, filters, seals and a lot of sundries. Recently I painted it completely including the interior due to chips, scratches, rust and rotten front fenders. Over time, it began to turn into a hobby. If you don’t have the thought in your head that you still need to change something, then life becomes boring. I didn’t intend to keep the car, but now my thoughts have changed dramatically. The car turns into a complete pleasure, even despite the capital investments and the staggering consumption (18-20 liters highway, “slipper” mode 30 and more). Auto absolutely (in basic configuration) is not suitable for off-road use - it’s very heavy (it digs in quickly), I don’t have a differential lock (maybe one wheel will spin and the rest will stand and watch), if the rollers are not “evil”, but road rollers, then it’s better to forget about it altogether. Of course, you can climb in a Chevrolet Tahoe I, but only wisely, otherwise you have to walk far behind the tractor (they pulled it out of mud and snow 4 times and once from a river). But all the disadvantages disappear when you press the accelerator pedal, and 8 boilers produce a truly American sound, the attention of those around you is 100% yours.

Advantages : a classic of the American automobile industry.

Flaws : very little.
