* Maintenance: Regular maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, etc.) significantly extends a vehicle's life. Neglecting maintenance will drastically shorten it.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, frequent hard acceleration and braking, and towing heavy loads put more stress on the engine and other components, reducing lifespan.
* Environmental conditions: Extreme temperatures, harsh road conditions, and exposure to salt can accelerate wear and tear.
* Specific model year and engine: Different model years and engine types have varying reliability and potential longevity.
While some Tahoes reach 200,000 miles or more with proper care, others might experience major issues much sooner. It's not uncommon to see Tahoes with 100,000+ miles still running well, but that's not a guarantee. It's more accurate to say that a well-maintained Chevy Tahoe *can* last a very long time, but there's no guaranteed mileage limit.
