Great Power with No Sacrifice

It takes a lot of power to handle the demands of the road on top of the demands you put on your vehicle. Towing. Hauling. Driving six kids around. With 8,500 lbs. of maximum towing capability3, 108.9 cu. ft.4 of maximum cargo space, seating for up to nine on LS, and a Vortec 5.3L V8 engine, Tahoe doesn't back down from a challenge.

Tahoe also has the fuel efficiency5 and amenities to let you go where you want to go. Active Fuel Management helps give Tahoe 21 MPG highway5. Optional features like the rear DVD entertainment system, chrome wheels, or the no-holds-barred Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package let you make Tahoe your own—whether you're navigating the neighborhood or taking it off the beaten path.

Exterior

Rugged Good Looks

Tahoe's impressive styling starts right up front and carries through every detail. An unmistakably powerful grill. An aggressive stance highlighted by a wide track and large tires. Sleek, yet rugged lines that reflect its go anywhere, do anything attitude.

Power-Controlled Convenience

Make easy work out of heavy lifting. Loading and unloading are convenient and easy with the power liftgate, standard on LTZ and available on LT. Streamline the look with the power-retractable assist steps with chrome accent strips available on LTZ.

20" and 22" Chrome Wheels

Make a stand-out vehicle stand out even more. 20" wheels are standard in five-spoke design and available in six- and 12-spoke designs. Or opt for the 22" chrome wheels6: The crown jewel of the Chevrolet dealer-installed accessory lineup for the crown jewel of your driveway.

Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package

Adventure is waiting for you, and Tahoe can get you there. Features of the available Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package include specially tuned springs and monotube shocks. The Skid Plate Package with an aluminum front underbody shield helps keep your Tahoe free of debris.

Interior

Room for Adventure
Spacious and then some. The perfect balance of form and function, Tahoe's interior features the best in comfort and amenities, seating up to nine in LS. Depending on the model you choose, options include heated and cooled leather-appointed front seats, second-row power-release fold-and-tumble seats and heated second-row seats.
Rear DVD Entertainment System
Keep passengers entertained with the available overhead rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Back-seat riders get an overhead flat-screen monitor, two sets of wireless headphones and a remote control.
Driver Information Center
Get updates on your vehicle when and where you need them most. Provides important readouts of vehicle functions, such as engine oil life, tire pressure7, fuel range and mileage. Includes warning messages and personalized settings.
Total Climate Control
Tri-zone manual (LS) or automatic (LT, LTZ) climate controls feature individual climate settings for driver, right-front passenger and rear passengers. Heated and cooled perforated leather-appointed 12-way power front bucket seats provide added comfort in LTZ, and include two-position driver memory, and driver and passenger power recline and lumbar support. There's even a heated steering wheel, standard on LTZ, to keep you comfortable while on the go.

Capability

Utility you can use
The Tahoe is engineered to get the job done, and the 100,000-mile/5-year powertrain limited warranty8 is there to back it up. The Vortec 5.3L V8 engine delivers 320 hp and 335 lb.-ft. of torque and gives 2WD models trailering power up to 8,500 lbs3.
Powerful Fuel Efficiency

Combining Active Fuel Management technology and the Vortec engine's efficient air-to-fuel mix, engineers gave Tahoe impressive horsepower without compromising fuel economy.

The Variable Valve Timing controls the valves during intake and exhaust, enabling the car to use even less fuel. These technologies help give the Tahoe an impressive 21 MPG highway out on the open road. It's no surprise Tahoe has better fuel economy than any competitor9.

Safety

Full-Size Safety

There's a lot riding in your Tahoe. That's why it includes some of the latest safety technology to help keep you safe on the road. Advanced electronic systems, coupled with engineering characteristics like a steel safety cage, work together to help prevent collisions—and to help protect you if you're in one. It's comprehensive safety before, during and after a collision.

Before

The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four-wheel antilock brakes help you stay in control in slippery road conditions, and Proactive Roll Avoidance engages automatically to help reduce the risk of a rollover crash. The standard Tire Pressure Monitor7 is designed to let you know when tire pressure levels are less than optimal.

During

Tahoe is equipped with six standard airbags16 for the driver, right front passenger and outboard rear occupants, and a steel safety cage to help preserve occupant space in the vehicle.

After

OnStar Automatic Crash Response17, standard for the first six months on all Tahoe models, means you can be automatically connected to emergency assistance if a collision occurs—whether or not the airbags deploy.
