2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Model Review

These days, most SUVs are built mainly for trips to the grocery store. While that’s perfectly fine for most drivers, those who need something more capable, can still find it in the Chevrolet Tahoe. Built to be tough, and coming with both 4-wheel drive and a V8 as standard equipment, the Tahoe is ready for whatever you need to do. Not only does it offer impressive off road capability, and an impressive towing capacity, but it also has a huge interior so that the whole family can ride along in comfort. Several different trim configurations make it easy to find a Tahoe that suits your needs. The Tahoe is also one of the only SUVs for sale in North America that offers a diesel engine option.

“All Tahoe models include three rows of seats and meaningful options such as meaty all-terrain tires and adjustable air suspension sweeten this big Chevy’s mobility. The Tahoe’s combination of practicality and capability has landed it on our Editors’ Choice list again this year.” – Car & Driver

“The Tahoe delivers big when it comes to ride comfort, technology and convenience features.” – Kelley Blue Book

The Tahoe is offered with a choice of three different engines, and all of them are great for offroading or towing. Towing capacities range from 7,600 pounds to 8,400 pounds, depending on how you equip it. The standard 5.3-liter V8 engine produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, while the optional 6.2-liter V8 produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, going up to 433 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque if you opt for the RST Performance Edition. All of these engines send that power through an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission and out to all four wheels. If offroading is in your plans, the Z71 trim comes with a lot of equipment to make this easier, things like offroad tires, skid plates, and an Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case

With things like available 12-way power-adjustable seats with heating and ventilation, and an available heated steering wheel, the Tahoe offers a lot of the usual creature comforts. But what sets the Tahoe apart is space, space to stretch out, even for those in the 3rd row of seats. The interior is very large, with lots of room for everyone and up to eight seats. And if you need to haul cargo, rather than people, the second and third rows of seats fold down to create a huge cargo area, measuring 122.9 cubic feet. Available air suspension makes the ride smooth no matter what the surface, and the available Bose® 10-speaker Surround with CenterPoint® audio system works with the standard wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay to give you a fantastic listening experience. Opt for the available panoramic power sunroof and you can fill even a cabin this big with warm, natural light.

The Tahoe is highly capable no matter what, but Chevrolet found ways to use technology to give it even more of an edge. For towing, there are things like available Smart Trailer Integration and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, as well as a side blind spot warning that incorporates the trailer’s length. The available 10.2-inch infotainment screen also comes with Google built-in, so things like navigation can be easily handled by powerful software like Google Maps, or another app if you prefer. A head-up display helps you keep your eyes on the road. And with up to 13 available camera views, you can keep an eye on absolutely everything else too. For those long highway trips, there is available Super Cruise, a form of cruise control that can fully take over driving duties, allowing you to sit back and take your hands off the steering wheel, for the ultimate relaxing drive.
