Chevrolet's Tahoe full-size SUV has available four-wheel drive and seating configurations for up to nine people. Both the Tahoe and its corporate sibling, the GMC Yukon, compete with other full-size SUVs such as the Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada and Dodge Durango.
New for 2012
LTZ models add a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and a blind spot warning system while LT versions gain heated seats. The Tahoe's standard electronic stability system now features electronic trailer-sway control and hill start assist. A new stereo with a 30-gigabyte hard drive, navigation, a 7-inch touch-screen, recording capability and a USB port is available.
Exterior
The Tahoe's headlights flank a wide grille split by a horizontal bar with a large Chevy bowtie logo. An available Z71 off-road package adds unique exterior details, including large color-keyed fender flares and a chrome front grille insert. Exterior features include:
- 17-, 18- or 20-inch wheels, depending on the model
- Heated side mirrors
- Roof rack
- Optional fog lights, Optional power sunroof, Optional power-articulated running boards
Interior
A curvaceous dashboard and flush-mounted buttons give the Tahoe a carlike interior. Three rows of seats provide room for up to nine people. The third row is removable, but it doesn't fold to the floor like in the Ford Expedition. Interior features include:
- Standard three-passenger third-row seat, Standard Bluetooth connectivity
- Optional power-adjustable pedals, Optional leather seats
- Optional Bose stereo, Optional heated seats in first and second rows
- Optional cooled front seats, Optional ultrasonic rear parking assist
- Optional backup camera with image in the rearview mirror or navigation screen if equipped, Optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system
Under the Hood
Tahoes are powered by a flex-fuel 320-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 engine that makes 335 pounds-feet of torque on gasoline or 326 hp and 348 pounds-feet of torque on E85 ethanol. The engine has a cast-iron block on two-wheel-drive models and an aluminum block on four-wheel-drive Tahoes. When properly configured, the Tahoe can tow up to 8,500 pounds. Mechanical features include:
- Six-speed automatic transmission, Fuel-saving 3.08 axle ratio, Heavy-duty trailering package with 3.42 axle ratio
- Optional integrated brake controller for electric-controlled trailer brake systems
- Optional locking rear differential
Safety
Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes are standard, as is an electronic stability system that features rollover mitigation technology, which senses impending rollovers and applies individual brakes in an attempt to keep the Tahoe on all four wheels. Additional safety features include:
- Standard side-impact airbags for the front seats, Standard side curtain airbags, Front seat belt pretensioners

"...This was my first time buying a new car, and I really didn't know where to start. I used your site to get quotes from dealers near me and compared them to the Market Price. Then, I used the knowledge I got from reading your Secrets book to make sure I didn't pay more than I should. It was so easy! I love my new car!" -Sonya S. |
