Chevrolet Tahoe Overview

The Tahoe is available in LS, LT, and LTZ trims in both 2WD and 4WD. The standard engine on the rear-wheel drive Tahoe is a 295-hp 4.8-liter V8 matched with a four-speed auto transmission. A six-speed automatic is standard with all other engines. Four-wheel drive models come standard with a 320-hp 5.3-liter V8 that features GM's Active Fuel Management technology that turns off four cylinders in many normal driving situations. A version of this engine can run on both E85 ethanol-blended fuel as well as regular unleaded gasoline. Standard equipment includes dual-zone air conditioning, cloth seating, 17-inch wheels, a tire-pressure monitoring system, StabiliTrak stability control with rollover mitigation, and an eight-speaker audio system with CD player and a year of OnStar service.

For 2009, the Chevrolet Tahoe is largely a carryover.
