Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 4 Door 4x2
Full sized SUV's offer ample room for families and their stuff, and
the Tahoe has been around since 1994. Thirty years later, luxury
SUVs have more amenities than most limousines and in fact, are the
preferred mode of transportation for Hollywood stars, CEO's, and
world leaders. As the segment has advanced through five
generations, first generation full sized SUV's are knocking on the
door of classic status.
For consignment, a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 4 door 4x2 with custom
paint and a modified stance that creates instant presence. Normally
set high for ground clearance and foul weather driving, our Tahoe
sits low, more like a sports car, and wears a set of impressive
wheels that put an exclamation point on the truck.
Exterior
Pewter Metallic covers the top of the truck down to the shoulder
line where Orange Metallic takes over, picked up on the hood with a
wide orange band lined with a red pinstripe. This pinstripe also
runs in tandem with an orange line the length of the truck on the
line between the pewter and orange. Orange covers the grille and
door handles while the tail lights are smoked, which blends well
with the tinted windows. A shaved rear bumper rides flush with the
body lines and color matched rain guards on the window are a nice
touch and on the roof is a large panoramic canvas sunroof from
Legacy and is a sliding ragtop. 20-inch Ridler 5 spoke wheels,
close in color to the pewter, look fantastic on the truck and wear
255/45ZR20 tires with a late 2021 date code. It's obvious great
care was taken to not only apply the paint but to maintain it and
the only imperfection we find is a touch up scuff on an orange
corner.
Interior
Standard Tahoe door panels in molded plastic with cloth inserts
look great, fully intact and clean. The seats appear to be original
but have a custom pattern on the leather upholstery and the front
buckets as well as the rear split bench are low backed and lack
headrests. Orange carpet catches your eye and blends well with the
exterior while the cargo area, accessed via barn doors, has wood
grain planks for a clean, custom look. From the steering wheel
forward, it's factory GM with a 4 spoke leather wrapped steering
wheel, column shifter, and basic gauge cluster. While a Sony
AM/FM/CD player of newer vintage is in the center of the dash over
the straightforward climate controls. The headliner that surrounds
the large sunroof is in good condition.
Drivetrain
Looking clean under the hood, the 5.7 liter V8 has and K&N cold
air intake, it is fuel injected, and is set into motion via GM's
4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission sending power back to a 10
bolt rear with 3.73 gears and Positraction. Slotted rotors sit on
the front and in the rear that were converted to disc with a Little
Larry's conversion kit.
Undercarriage
Generally clean driver quality underneath with some typical surface
rust, no oil, and braided brake lines confirmed as noted by the
consignor. The exhaust comes from the engine to meet two catalytic
converters then joins as a single pipe to enter a Flowmaster
muffler then exiting via a chrome tailpipe. Front suspension
consists of Little Larry's 3" drop spindles, shocks, and springs
and the back setup includes lowering shackles, shocks, and leaf
springs. A bright red differential cover caps things off and is
unobscured by a spare tire as it is not present.
Drive-Ability
We like cars that have been lifted, (think, Baja Porsche), and
trucks that have been lowered and this truck checks all the boxes,
and its interior is a comfortable place to be. The truck provides a
smooth ride with good handling and spot on braking. All the bells
and whistles operate with the exception of the reverse lights not
illuminating and a passenger side mirror that lacks left and right
movement.
Talk about a custom grocery getter! This is a striking paint scheme
with a clean interior and room for the entire family. But of
course, it's also a show truck and would be right at home amongst
classic cars. There's no indication this truck was used for show,
but it's certainly worthy. Call the mall today to reserve your
seat!
