Chevrolet Tahoe Overview

The Tahoe is one of only a few choices for consumers seeking a large family SUV that can tow and haul heavy loads and is capable on rough roads. Available in either rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive, the Tahoe comes in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. The sole engine choice is an E85-capable 5.3-liter V8 generating 320 hp and 335 lb-ft. in torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Tahoe is one of few vehicles with seating for up to 9, with 7 and 8-passenger configurations also available by preference. Up to 108.9 cubic feet of cargo can be tucked away, though the third-row seat needs to be removed to access it rather than folded flat.

The top-level LTZ trim brings such standard luxury features as heated and leather first and second-row seats, a 10-speaker Bose surround sound system, standard navigation and an active damping suspension system. The big, capable Tahoe can tow up to 8,500 lbs. when properly equipped and has a 1,406-lb. maximum payload.
