CHEVROLET TAHOE

We Say...
Chevrolet stirs away from its brash truck look with the re-skinned Tahoe: notice the softer exterior and family-friendly interior. Don't be fooled though, this one gets a power upgrade: now having 320 horsepower! Despite Active Fuel Management, don't expect amazing mileage, but expect traditional large SUV comforts like a soft ride. An alternative to the ubiquitous Ford SUVs.
Sleeker and much better built inside and out than before.
Large V8 means poor mileage despite Active Fuel Management.
