Both the 2021 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban saw substantial improvements for the 2021 year, and this pair of large-sized haulers are on just about everyones shopping list for this holiday season here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse! They are now sporting a newly available turbodiesel engine, and this North-Pole-Derived 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six generates 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
The staff of Carscoops.com claimed that they are excited to be testing one of these models personally soon, and the numbers are already out with the official claim of 28 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive. This is going to boost an already-high level of confidence and appeal with customers who have towing high on their priority list, as the currently stated capacity for the Tahoe is 8,200 lbs. Chevy has not offered diesel in their SUV lineup since 1999, and now many savvy drivers are clued into the performance potential this game-changing fuel technology and application allows for. Over the past 25 years, the Tahoe has offered many the ability to get to their destination while enjoying comfort with an added dose of distinguished status.
Jerry Perez from the online auto blog The Drive performed the test of lugging four adults and two kids around just to be certain that all of the great reviews and positive feedback regarding the new Tahoe would yield a fitting choice for a vehicle to lead the way to Smoky Mountains National Park. His tester arrived equipped with the Z71 trim, and the 5.3-liter V8 for the powertrain. While loading up everything needed for the scenic journey, he was able to fit two carry-ons, two backpacks, a small cooler, and various other loose items just behind the third row.
After hitting the road, it was obvious that the new Tahoe felt like a solid one-piece package, with all of its elements joining in unison to provide a ride that is excellent for the family commuter embracing their sense of adventure. The longer wheelbase and adaptive suspension provide the ability to easily have more confidence behind the wheel, and the Tahoe felt secure while cruising at 85 mph down the abundant hairpin turns along the Kentucky and Tennessee border.
The experienced testing team on hand here frequently dialed the speed up to 85 mph, and still had a sense of security while handling their loaded weight surging to the left and right. Once you activate Sport mode, the suspension drops two inches, and the throttle drifts into a finely-calibrated and grippy stance. When this caravan was close to their final destination and had to navigate on a mountain road leading up to their cabin, the four-wheel high capability was the perfect built-in means to conquer the steep inclines at hand.
If you replace the second-row seats with a bench, you can comfortably accommodate seven passengers, and there are enough charging ports, cubbies, and practical cupholders to reach the final destination having an entire family in tow with ease. This crew also came to the conclusion that the Tahoe is at the top of its class due to on-point handling and stellar towing ability. Hauling everyone and everything around without a hitch makes perfect sense for the #1 vehicle on any Missouri driver's wish list, and the incoming Tahoe lets you take command of the best available large-sized offering out there!
