Chevy Tahoe Offers A Spacious SUV Option
The Tahoe is a full-size, body-on-frame boat hauler that rules the SUV world, with loads of high-tech features. Options include lane-keeping assist and forward-collision warning. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard; it also has up to seven USB ports and six power outlets.
A standard 355-hp V-8 pairs with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. The RST performance package includes adaptive dampers and a mighty 420-hp V-8 mated to an eight-speed automatic.
The bigger engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and it thankfully doesn’t suffer from any gear hunting issues, instead performing crisp, well-timed shifts. Riding on super-wide 22-inch Bridgestone Dueler tires, the Tahoe RST hustles through bends with respectable composure.
You will also love the brisk, lightly-weighted, and responsive steering. The Tahoe’s technology game remains enviably dutiful.
The MyLink system with 8-inch touchscreen is simple and effective with intuitive menus, as well as hard buttons in the center stack to quickly get to the home and audio screens. Navigation with real-time traffic updates, a crisp-sounding 10-speaker Bose audio system and OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot are all excellent during a road trip to Chicago from Detroit and back.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto users will appreciate MyLink because it’s capable of running both, while there are numerous USB ports, 12-volt outlets, a wireless charging pad on the center armrest and a three-prong plug in the second row to juice up smart devices.
