Chevy Tahoe and Equinox Hailed With Addition to List of Most Reliable Cars for Families in 2020


Here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse we are excited about the Tahoe and Equinox: Both made U.S. News and World Report's list of the Most Reliable Cars for Families in 2020. Just a small dose of the criteria was that these vehicles have a user-friendly infotainment system, advanced safety features, and a very spacious interior. Most importantly, they should be dependable, and the 2020 Chevy Tahoe is a full-size SUV that can comfortably accommodate 8 or 9 occupants depending on the model you choose, and boasts 94.7 cubic feet of cargo.
U.S. News and World Report writer Kevin Linder highlighted the fact that the 2020 Chevy Tahoe now boasts a perfect predicted reliability rating of five out of five, which only a very small handful of new vehicles on the road today can boast. Also earning this 5 out of 5 reliability rating is the 2020 Chevy Equinox, the stylish crossover with room for five, and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. The 2020 Chevy Equinox fuel ratings also help you and your family conquer the more open road.

Both vehicles have great crash test ratings, as well as a good list of standard safety technologies like pre-collision braking and lane-keeping assist. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2020 Equinox a 5-star Overall Safety Rating, once again clarifying that it is situated at the top as far as family use. The Equinox also saw a high level of praise from Car and Driver, due to its spry driving demeanor, high efficiency, and ample space for cargo and passengers. Make sure to check out the Midnight Edition Package: it is new on LT models and blacks out just about everything, giving it a certain sense of commanding charm and mystery.
Available with either rear or all-wheel drive the Tahoe is based on the underpinnings of the Chevy Silverado pickup. This results in good qualities regarding ground clearance and towing capability, and this vehicle offers up comfortable seating for 8. If you want to step up to a bit more raw power and aggression, Premier trims for the Tahoe is where you get to score the 6.2-liter V8. The testing model that the Car and Driver staff got their hands on made it from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds through this burlier engine, and all-wheel-drive models now boast a max tow rating of 8400 pounds.

You can’t go wrong with the vehicle that has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Suburban is in most ways the better choice for someone with more cargo or people they are driving around. We proudly stand behind our warranty options: The Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles, powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles, and complimentary maintenance is covered on the first visit.
