As fall has fully made its annual descent upon us
here at the Powerhouse, we are
as excited as we are every year about the abundance of football on TV,
different Halloween events for kids and adults, and the solid news about all of
the awesome features on the next year's car models. The Tahoe
is the best-selling full-size sport utility right now in the U.S., and has held
onto that title since its debut in 1995. To think about this one way, it is
fantastic for us to realize that almost half of the full-size SUVs sold in
America right now are of the illustrious and well-built Chevy breed!
There are two engine options available with the
new Tahoe:
Base models feature a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower, and 383 lb-ft of
torque. The more powerful choice is a 6.2-liter V8, which creates 420
horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of torque. These additives are what truly make the
Tahoe king of its class, and you can opt to pair either the six-speed automatic,
or 10-speed automatic with either rear or four-wheel drive. With seating for up
to nine occupants, this is the vehicle that Roadshow via Cnet.com characterized by
“Outshining its competitors,” with 94.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume to
boot.
If you feel the need to haul items that are larger
than what you can fit inside an SUV, the Tahoe's maximum towing capacity is
8,400 pounds. Technology is another area in which the Tahoe
really laps its competitors, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard,
along with an 8-inch touchscreen for the media goodies we all love to consume
during the ride! In addition, the Tahoe also comes standard with a six-speaker
sound system, HD, satellite radio, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspost that can support
up to seven devices at once.
The upgrades you can use to really make the Tahoe
your own are plentiful: ask us here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse how
additives like Brembo front brakes, adaptive cruise control, and
collision-mitigation braking can assure that every ride is up to premium par.
The top-level Premier trim comes equipped with 20-inch wheels, fog lights,
magnetic ride control, front parking sensors, HID headlights, keyless access
with push-button start, and an audiophile's dream of a 10-speaker Bose Surround-sound
audio system.
You'll also be blown away by the wireless
smartphone charging ability, heated steering wheel, and telescoping steering
column! We feel that upping the ante this intensely on a Tahoe
is better than the luxurious touches you get to enjoy on the Mercedes-Benz
GLS-Class SUV: this is one able-bodied hauler for the entire family, and
perfect pitch-delivering vehicle for any trade show worker or marketer hitting
the open road!
