@@bandidotrucker7092 Most people are buying a tahoe or suburban because of the need for a third row. The center console in the middle means the kids or passengers will have to fold the seats down to get access to the back.
Get ready. It's coming on more vehicles. The 19 Silverado will have it which means it's coming for the Tahoe. The 19 Envision is the first to include a switch to turn it off though so hopefully that catches on.
Sorry, I’ll take a column shifter any day over that dang knob. Isn’t the reason they’ve done away with any shifter is to give more console space? Well column shift does that, just sayin, as funny as it seems.
No you do not put your gun there. When the shit hits the fan there’s no time to be wasted for that thing to slide up. Steering column holster is the way to go. You want your handgun secured and always on the ready at a spot that is reachable and can be retrieved in a second.
Your reviews are so biased. If technology mattered so much, why would the most outdated brand (Toyota) be the #1 selling in the nation?? You need to focus on the other important key features man.
I don't think Toyota is an outdated brand. I think the brand is traditional and the technology is actually there at Toyota with the technology the brand gave to its previous gen Corolla including standard LED headlamps that are optional on some Mercedes-Benz.
I really like the Tahoe. If I purchased one, I would keep the third row down permanently and get 60/40 split second row rather than captains chairs. Also, even though I've never had a GM vehicle, I really like that chime when it starts up. Very comforting for some reason.
Kadeen Hunter That’s because cars are becoming like phones and laptops. Every brand will upgrade the tech with each redesign. Manufactures need to do this if they want to keep up.
It’s still the automotive industry, we know for a fact that automakers update in car tech with redesigns or resfreshed models! So asking for crisper display in a now 3-4 years old vehicle with no significant overhaul... is a bit much.
Redline Reviews yes but manufacturers don’t redesign there vehicles every year like phones, laptops etc so that’s unrealistic. Most of the time redesigns don’t happen for 4-5 years.
amgGaming Ok thank you. Thats what I was thinking, for the most part, 6 in. of length would normally put you in a different class. But the expedition and the tahoe compete in this class so it threw me off.
I like your reviews generally although you did kind of sound like a Ford salesman in this one. As a long term Tahoe owner (in my second now over 400k miles combined) and former ford employee, I can confidently say the Tahoe is the best that money can buy. The key ingredients you glossed over in your comparisons to the competition are the superior LS engine and the drivetrain which has dominated the market in both performance and reliability for over 30 years.
Tahoe and all GM SUV’s are for those who love the brand and trucks. GM always rolls out their full size segment first. That is why GM’s SUV line up is always “behind” even though they were ahead. I love how the first people to talk down GM’s trucks are those who don’t even own a full size SUV or know anything about trucks. I’m not a GM fanboy I owned an expedition and it was garbage. The only reason the expedition is a better vehicle at the moment is because it finally took Ford 3 years to make something to actually compete with a Tahoe. Just wait until the new Tahoe rolls out.
this is the last truck that should be getting criticized, if you want more cupholders in the back, get the bench seating so you have the foldable console the middle... also, the third row situation is false in the suburban, in the suburban, you the floor is not as in your face, because the suspension is further back. The leg room in the suburban is better.
I don't understand why people are complaining that the rst "isnt a real performance suv"......... Well thats because it was never made to be wise ass. And this was released in 2015. The expedition was released last year. So obviously there will be better things in the expedition compared to the tahoe. Although nothing beats GM V8's and style
O.K. but why compare this Tahoe RST to any Ford with a V6 and less Tow weight... You know you love and want this package.. With GM you can move up to another GM Brand for the options you may want.. Chevy is for everyone and not just a few... This is a Great package that the Federal Government and Security prefer...
Andrew Schulz yeah but he said that the third row is no different in space, and I've heard the same complaints for the Yukon XL and Escalade ESV. If smaller people are complaining, and I'm comfortable, shit don't make sense lls
prettyrickyd47 He got that part wrong. The third row in a Suburban is a world apart from the Tahoe. In the Tahoe, your feet are right above the rear wheels. In the Suburban, the rear wheels are under the rear of the third row. It's not the same at all.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'm so glad someone finally pointed out my biggest issue with these GM trucks. These things have been reviewed dozens and dozens of times and the reviewers go on and on again about how roomy and comfortable they are. People I talk with on the street say that if you just get the Suburban or XL version you'll have the extra legroom. Thanks for letting the world know that's not true. They've got a HUGE cult following but you're paying for a full sized SUV and you're getting compact SUV room in a casket carrier size package. The second and definitely the third row seat room is criminal in this segment ;-D The room in the Sequioa, Expedition and Armada all beat the room in these GM trucks. I even find the Atlas to be really comfortable and I'm over six feet tall.
I bought a 2016 brand new LS tahoe.. $42,000 OUT THE DOOR and that included after market leather added by dealership... I LOVE THE TRUCK! It may not be an RST.. but its HALF The price!!!! better value for the money... If you want Borla exhaust or Brembo breaks.. just do aftermarket! Much cheaper.... yea, no 6.2 engine... but your MPG suffers too. I get 18 MPG combined with my LS tahoe... Much better than 14 MPG with the RST!
Your suppose to buy a full size SUV for it’s towing capability first then people moving second. There are CUVs and minivans that specialize in people moving. That’s why I think the storage and rear passenger comfort is suffice.
For a vehicle of its size, the Tahoe has the most useless 3rd row I’ve ever seen. It looks like it would only be suitable for children and hobbits. I’d rather just do away with the 3rd row and increase the space in the second row.
Right. And who needs that many seats? Most families have 2 kids or less these days. Don't tell me someone has non-family passengers that frequently that requires a Tahoe either.
PeRX yeah, if you’re a double amputee. Did you even see the video, idiot? That third row isn’t even habitable. Just more poor design from GM....like that fukin column shifter ( y’all watch this guy lose it, now ha ha:))
My fully loaded Audi does not have one touch up rear windows either.. and thank God for that because one time it saved me from squashing my kids fingers. I think they do not include it for safety because you cannot see what's going on back there.
You forgot the power folding second row seats to access the third row, the buttons are just behind the headrests and above the driver center console. Perfect for teenagers as the front seats are usually not all the way back unless you have very large adults. Plus this is a "family hauler" for those of us who refuse to drive a minivan. The third row has been raised to allow for the power folding seats that lay flat (perfect for kids), getting rid of the cumbersome removable 50/50 ones that weighed about 60lbs each on the previous generations.
Waiting for the 2020 Yukon/Tahoe. Thought the 2018s are heavily discounted right now. Probably seeing their numbers cut by the new Expedition and Durango.
I mean the people who get them are usually moms and it fits kids just fine and the second row is actually really spacious idk why he had the seats that far back they go back super far
Grand Cherokee looks great but this thing is ugly. It looks well polished but it's a box on wheels. Looks are subjective and man I hate to see them. And I live in Texas so they're everywhere XD lol.
Disabling One Touch Up in the back seat is a child safety feature. Kids like to put there hands out of open windows. So disabling that feature forces the driver to be aware thus avoiding any finger pinching.
At the 13:12 mark you incorrectly state third-row legroom in the Suburban is the same as the Tahoe's and more than once implied their wheelbases are the same (saying the difference in interior space is found only behind the rear seats). The Tahoe and Suburban have different wheelbases. Here are the numbers... Tahoe wheelbase: 116.0" second-row legroom: 39.0" third-row legroom: 24.8" rear storage space: 15.3 cu.ft. Suburban wheelbase: 130.0" second-row legroom: 39.7" third-row legroom: 34.5" rear storage space: 39.3 cu.ft. Otherwise, I thought it was a good review.
Three minutes into this video and I just had to stop it. Does this thing look dated or what? Tahoe SS? really? When will Chevy give us a truck or SUV worthy of the SS nameplate. I’m a die hard Chevy enthusiast and I’ve been waiting for this vehicle for way to long. Come on Chevy, get off your azz and give us something that will compete with either the Ford Raptor or Jeep Trackhawk. .
Puttnutt24 gm's management must not like money or something. everyone and their mama sees that ford can barely keep up the demand for raptors and NOBODY is doing anything about it...
Puttnutt24, The problem is GM doesn’t see the business case behind something like a supercharged, full-blown sport SUV. Apparently they’re content with playing it safe and keeping all their SUVs mainstream and focused on daily driving. At least FCA gives you the option of cool sporty SUVs like the SRT Durango and Jeep Trackhawk! And for under $100K! Otherwise you’ll have to shop among the luxury car brands to get a true sporty SUV!
The ss was a fail because it was never really marketed but that doesn’t make the ss nameplate unsuccessful have we forgotten 454ss Silverado, impala ss, montecarlo ss? Those vehicles all did well sales wise in some generation or another. I don’t think the trackhawk competing vehicle you guys want is or should come in the form of the Tahoe platform. The Tahoe is simply too big of a platform to start on to want to compete with the x5m, srt8 Jeep’s, cayenne’s etc. I think their best bet is a raptor competitor based on the Silverado but it absolutely MUST be better than the raptor on paper in virtually every way or it would be a fail. I’d like to see a conventional v8 perhaps supercharged around 500-600 hp 500lb ft tq and awesome off-roading abilities as well as tough looks. That’s what I think will be a winning recipe or atleast able to give Chevy fans something to brag about.
On second thought, imagine a low slung, awd light weight Tahoe ( something like police spec) with a massive engine, independent rear suspension, boosted v8 and once again WEIGHT REDUCTION, that could be an interesting little sleeper of an suv. Needs suspension and weight loss though !
I'd still take this over the Ford. It's dated compared to it but these things are bulletproof. Ford isn't and they haven't been. Ford is in the red when it comes to long term reliability (Chevy isnt). Some people get a good batch like me with my old Grand Cherokees. But many people don't. There's a reason why the Gov buys Tahoes and continue to. Plus you can send one over to Henn and get 1000hp out of it.
Armando Sturzenegger Not B.S. its a known and accepted fact that GM trucks and SUVs are more reliable than Ford's. The LS v8 which is what GM uses in them is known famously in the car industry for long term reliability and efficiency. It is the most common engine for engine swaps. Period
D Joseph To each their own. Fords are good trucks too. If Fords are so awful and break down all the time then police departments all over the country wouldn’t be buying them.
KentB27 Police vehicles tend to have moderate issues actually. Funny enough the old Ford interceptors were much more reliable. The department loves Ford for their fuel efficiency. Which is a plus over the Tahoe or Dodge Charger interceptors.
This thing is dated....I mean it's the same 6.2 liter! Holy shit....whats the difference between the Tahoe/Escalade/Sierra with the 6.2? Why in the hell would you pay 80k for 3/36000 warranty when you can just buy an Escalade....dumb.
The V8 is so nice...but that's not enough to save it from being schooled by the Expedition. Hey Sofyan - was just wondering if you might be reviewing the Hyundai Kona anytime soon?
moescolla All GM SUVs are getting a complete redesign in 2020 to catch up with the new 2019 trucks. This current design is only 4 years old and it really looks good in my opinion, definitely not dated. The early/mid 70s Suburbans were basically identical to those of the early 90s. Minor redesigns obviously but underneath it was really unchanged; no one was complaining then. I don't think manufacturers should wait _that_ long to revamp a lineup, though I think a complete overhaul every 3 or so years is very unnecessary. Just keep what works for a while.
The column shifter in my opinion is what gives an advantage over the the competition. I don’t like that companies are going for the floor shifter and stupid ass dial shifters. It feels so much better to pull down a column shifter then to pull back a floor shifter or turn a dial. I like that Chevy is still keeping them as well for the 2019 Silverado and 2020 Tahoe.
PeRX My favorite is a manual transmission and nobody offers one in a full size SUV. So I resort to my #2 being a column shifter due to the center console space it saves.
moescolla I agree it looks old already! Escalade still looks good and still catches my when one drives by me but the Tahoe does need some exterior updates
moescolla The Tahoe still looks better than the Expedition, and offers more tech and sporty items. The expedition on the other hand offers less, and has horribly drawn out tail lights and a body that looks like a minivan. Plus the interior on the expedition is practically plastic with fake wood glue ons.
TheSouthernBrother I agree I am so disappointed they didn't make the new Impala in a SS trim. I have an 07 SS and want to trade it in for another V8 powered Sedan but I had a Charger and had nothing but problems out of it and not a fan of the SS it looks like a Malibu to me.
ghawkins816 From a financial perspective it is understandable, their truck/SUV/CUV sales are up and Chevrolet is just tapping into that market. Besides like the SS (or Holden Commodore), an Impala SS probably would not sell. A man can dream though.
So my wife and I are in the market for a large SUV. We drove both the Tahoe and the 2018 Expedition. Both are great looking, but think the Tahoe looks a little better. The interior I will give to the Expedition. The space in the Expedition is much better than the Tahoe. I hate that Chevy still has a solid axle instead of the IRS the Expedition has. Come on Chevy, make that third row actually useful. The one thing I hate about Ford is their wheel selection is horrible. The only good looking wheel for the Expedition is the Platinum wheel, where as the Tahoe has soooooo many nice wheels. Of course i'm not buying a vehicle for the wheels, but its nice that I can choose one good looking wheel or another, whereas the Ford has one good wheel. Unfortunately the Tahoe is cheaper because its been out for awhile and there are so many out there. I can get $10,000 off a Tahoe where I can only get about $6000 off an Expedition right now. Overall, we liked the Expedition better and decided to buy one.
Normally a 5’7 grown adult wouldn’t be all the way in the back. People who pay for these extra options and pay 60k on a Tahoe usually don’t use the 3rd row, I have a big family and we’re all a chevy family, my two aunts have suburbans but everyone else have tahoes and rarely use the 3rd row
Drove one of these recently. Ample power, but it still feels like a tank. Very disappointed by the lack of paddle shifting in a "high performance SUV."
there should be more column shifters! Its pointless to have the shifter in the center unless its manual. You can utilize that area for more storage or access to functions. Or better yet, just leave the center completely open! Bench seats!
I just feel like GM just keeps making the same cars over and over. I like the fact you can get it in the 6.2L and the interior looks nice (the color and bolstering ) loose everything else. Loose infotainment display, loose the shifter, move to a bigger sun roof, put in independent rear suspension to give rear passagers more space.
To all u people that are thinking about buy a GM full size SUV u don't need all wheel drive unless you live up north where it snow or going riding off road in the mud.other than that u just wastin money 2 wheel drive is all u need plus it's cheaper then all wheel drive
As a car salesman I will tell you that most people don't want a compartment between the two seats in the second row
@@bandidotrucker7092 Most people are buying a tahoe or suburban because of the need for a third row. The center console in the middle means the kids or passengers will have to fold the seats down to get access to the back.
Agree. With two car seats in the second row a console would be a pain.
Rey Garcia how do you like being a car salesman ?
I guess I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
I’m in the market of buying one of these early next year and I certainly wouldn’t want a centre row compartment
Am I the only one who prefers a column shift over a damn rotary dial?
Bryan Callahan nope, I'm with you.
My preference goes to column shift!
Not in a $76k vehicle. Especially if it came from a Silverado WT
Nope. I all with you. I hate that every other American company is taking that away.
Nope thats y i went with a gm truck instead of ram
It's "lacking" start stop tech? I believe you meant to say "*Thankfully* this truck doesn't have start stop tech"
Hallelujah brother, I think the start stop techs in cars are useless and annoying.
Get ready. It's coming on more vehicles. The 19 Silverado will have it which means it's coming for the Tahoe. The 19 Envision is the first to include a switch to turn it off though so hopefully that catches on.
Why would you want to spend money guzzling gas not moving anywhere?
It's really hard on the battery and starter.
@Frost lmao. you save a total of 8 gallons of gas in 10 years.
Sorry, I’ll take a column shifter any day over that dang knob. Isn’t the reason they’ve done away with any shifter is to give more console space? Well column shift does that, just sayin, as funny as it seems.

Would you add an aftermarket Z06 supercharger and do AWD burnouts with it ?
Should’ve had some more performance upgrades, and it should’ve had paddle shifters imo

I didnt remember wanting to
Ever give it back ?

It's a overgrown TrailBlazer SS
american vehicle designers are letting me down big time. smh.
You aren't looking at the right vehicles then Charger, Challenger, Jeep, ram, all these are good looking
This is honestly the best looking in this segment. Plus, cars like the Charger, Mustang, Jeep, 2018 Camaro, 2018 Silverado, etc are amazing looking.
Grand Cherokee looks great but this thing is ugly. It looks well polished but it's a box on wheels. Looks are subjective and man I hate to see them. And I live in Texas so they're everywhere XD lol.

Otherwise, I thought it was a good review.
Can't wait for the next Tahoe Limited
I love this car hope 1 day I will get one
Damn that thing gets up and goes
Three minutes into this video and I just had to stop it.
Does this thing look dated or what?
Tahoe SS? really?
When will Chevy give us a truck or SUV worthy of the SS nameplate.
I’m a die hard Chevy enthusiast and I’ve been waiting for this vehicle for way to long.
Come on Chevy, get off your azz and give us something that will compete with either the Ford Raptor or Jeep Trackhawk. .
Puttnutt24 gm's management must not like money or something. everyone and their mama sees that ford can barely keep up the demand for raptors and NOBODY is doing anything about it...
I don’t think Chevy is going to go to the SS name anymore, besides the Camaro, after the Chevy SS fail.
Puttnutt24,
The problem is GM doesn’t see the business case behind something like a supercharged, full-blown sport SUV. Apparently they’re content with playing it safe and keeping all their SUVs mainstream and focused on daily driving.
At least FCA gives you the option of cool sporty SUVs like the SRT Durango and Jeep Trackhawk! And for under $100K! Otherwise you’ll have to shop among the luxury car brands to get a true sporty SUV!
The ss was a fail because it was never really marketed but that doesn’t make the ss nameplate unsuccessful have we forgotten 454ss Silverado, impala ss, montecarlo ss? Those vehicles all did well sales wise in some generation or another. I don’t think the trackhawk competing vehicle you guys want is or should come in the form of the Tahoe platform. The Tahoe is simply too big of a platform to start on to want to compete with the x5m, srt8 Jeep’s, cayenne’s etc. I think their best bet is a raptor competitor based on the Silverado but it absolutely MUST be better than the raptor on paper in virtually every way or it would be a fail. I’d like to see a conventional v8 perhaps supercharged around 500-600 hp 500lb ft tq and awesome off-roading abilities as well as tough looks. That’s what I think will be a winning recipe or atleast able to give Chevy fans something to brag about.
On second thought, imagine a low slung, awd light weight Tahoe ( something like police spec) with a massive engine, independent rear suspension, boosted v8 and once again WEIGHT REDUCTION, that could be an interesting little sleeper of an suv. Needs suspension and weight loss though !
The brown leather interior was introduced in 15, my 15 Tahoe Ltz came with the same exact interior. Just obv the gauges are different
Gorgeous scenery. Looks like my hometown of Binghamton NY. Where is this?
The Escalade with its station wagon taillights🤣🤣🤣
All doors sounds pretty solid 😄
I thought these were getting the magenetic ride suspension. You’d think the ride quality would be pretty good?
Gm has been behind the times with their interiors for a decade now.
it's a better deal to buy a semi, that way you get more space, same fuel consumption and you can make some money carrying goods
No discussion of mag ride. Is it any good?
I'd still take this over the Ford. It's dated compared to it but these things are bulletproof. Ford isn't and they haven't been. Ford is in the red when it comes to long term reliability (Chevy isnt). Some people get a good batch like me with my old Grand Cherokees. But many people don't. There's a reason why the Gov buys Tahoes and continue to. Plus you can send one over to Henn and get 1000hp out of it.
Armando Sturzenegger Not B.S. its a known and accepted fact that GM trucks and SUVs are more reliable than Ford's. The LS v8 which is what GM uses in them is known famously in the car industry for long term reliability and efficiency. It is the most common engine for engine swaps. Period
Biggest Problem with the EcoBoost is the timing issues and timing chain driven water pump.
D Joseph To each their own. Fords are good trucks too. If Fords are so awful and break down all the time then police departments all over the country wouldn’t be buying them.
KentB27 Police vehicles tend to have moderate issues actually. Funny enough the old Ford interceptors were much more reliable. The department loves Ford for their fuel efficiency. Which is a plus over the Tahoe or Dodge Charger interceptors.
KentB27 well for 1 they don't use ford engines just the Ford body I know the cars in my town have hemis in them and yes they have the Ford tag on them
Very nice content and good review, but you should definitely improve your mics and audio gear to upgrade sound quality and avoid wind and mic noises.
Redline this or SRT Jeep 18” what you think ??
This thing is dated....I mean it's the same 6.2 liter! Holy shit....whats the difference between the Tahoe/Escalade/Sierra with the 6.2? Why in the hell would you pay 80k for 3/36000 warranty when you can just buy an Escalade....dumb.
Can you please review a MK7.5 GTI? I really want to know how it is to drive as i'm intrested in getting one
I can’t wait to see you do a review on the 2019 Santa Fe Diesel and also the Subaru Viziv 7. Great reviews as always. Keep up the fantastic work. 👌🏻
Are the fog lights and turn signals seriously not LED on this expensive of a vehicle?
Great review sofan
Review the Durango SRT please!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
How about fuel efficiency in comparison to other big SUVs?
Is the take off slower than expedition even in 4 wheel drive?
What about the new Durango SRT? The Chevy or Dodge?
Love this car! It beats out the new expedition.
The V8 is so nice...but that's not enough to save it from being schooled by the Expedition.
Hey Sofyan - was just wondering if you might be reviewing the Hyundai Kona anytime soon?
it really is enough to save it from the the expedition because the Tahoe still beating the expedition in sales
Dubby Jr mostly fleet sales if I'm correct?
A K it's more than just fleet sales bud, everybody has one!
Headlights and taillights are dated
Needs new face, interior and shifter...
Falls behind Expedition except for its athletic squared exterior
moescolla All GM SUVs are getting a complete redesign in 2020 to catch up with the new 2019 trucks. This current design is only 4 years old and it really looks good in my opinion, definitely not dated. The early/mid 70s Suburbans were basically identical to those of the early 90s. Minor redesigns obviously but underneath it was really unchanged; no one was complaining then. I don't think manufacturers should wait _that_ long to revamp a lineup, though I think a complete overhaul every 3 or so years is very unnecessary. Just keep what works for a while.
The column shifter in my opinion is what gives an advantage over the the competition. I don’t like that companies are going for the floor shifter and stupid ass dial shifters. It feels so much better to pull down a column shifter then to pull back a floor shifter or turn a dial. I like that Chevy is still keeping them as well for the 2019 Silverado and 2020 Tahoe.
PeRX My favorite is a manual transmission and nobody offers one in a full size SUV. So I resort to my #2 being a column shifter due to the center console space it saves.
moescolla I agree it looks old already! Escalade still looks good and still catches my when one drives by me but the Tahoe does need some exterior updates
moescolla The Tahoe still looks better than the Expedition, and offers more tech and sporty items. The expedition on the other hand offers less, and has horribly drawn out tail lights and a body that looks like a minivan. Plus the interior on the expedition is practically plastic with fake wood glue ons.
So Chevrolet will produce this but not revive the Impala SS?
TheSouthernBrother I agree I am so disappointed they didn't make the new Impala in a SS trim. I have an 07 SS and want to trade it in for another V8 powered Sedan but I had a Charger and had nothing but problems out of it and not a fan of the SS it looks like a Malibu to me.
ghawkins816 From a financial perspective it is understandable, their truck/SUV/CUV sales are up and Chevrolet is just tapping into that market. Besides like the SS (or Holden Commodore), an Impala SS probably would not sell. A man can dream though.
So my wife and I are in the market for a large SUV. We drove both the Tahoe and the 2018 Expedition. Both are great looking, but think the Tahoe looks a little better. The interior I will give to the Expedition. The space in the Expedition is much better than the Tahoe. I hate that Chevy still has a solid axle instead of the IRS the Expedition has. Come on Chevy, make that third row actually useful. The one thing I hate about Ford is their wheel selection is horrible. The only good looking wheel for the Expedition is the Platinum wheel, where as the Tahoe has soooooo many nice wheels.
Of course i'm not buying a vehicle for the wheels, but its nice that I can choose one good looking wheel or another, whereas the Ford has one good wheel. Unfortunately the Tahoe is cheaper because its been out for awhile and there are so many out there. I can get $10,000 off a Tahoe where I can only get about $6000 off an Expedition right now. Overall, we liked the Expedition better and decided to buy one.
What's with a ll the storage talk...what are people storing in their car and why do you need more than one cup holder per seat?
Will you be doing a review of the 2019 Honda Pilot?
That interior color ❤❤
Do you think you like the borla exhaust
I wish they made a Tahoe XL
That's what the Suburban is.
@DisneyMusicVideos yes but they don't call it that....
I'm looking to get one, think I'll stick to getting a srt Durango
Normally a 5’7 grown adult wouldn’t be all the way in the back. People who pay for these extra options and pay 60k on a Tahoe usually don’t use the 3rd row, I have a big family and we’re all a chevy family, my two aunts have suburbans but everyone else have tahoes and rarely use the 3rd row
Drove one of these recently. Ample power, but it still feels like a tank. Very disappointed by the lack of paddle shifting in a "high performance SUV."
GM makes some good supercharged powertrains. I think they are really missing the enthusiast group by not offering them on their trucks and large SUVs.
More cylinders sounds better than two turbskis w less cylinders😁
More cylinders AND turbo/supercharger whine sounds even better.
Surprised they are still using column shifter
come on chevy.. step your game up 👊🏻
there should be more column shifters! Its pointless to have the shifter in the center unless its manual. You can utilize that area for more storage or access to functions. Or better yet, just leave the center completely open! Bench seats!
"I kinda would highly recommend it, for sure." Free waffles today.
Didn't Chevy offered a 6.2 V-8 (L92) on the Tahoe LTZ back on 2009 as an option?
How about the big motor without all the other stuff?
This is the dashboard that should’ve been in the old and new Silverado
Can you please do an review on the Dodge Durango SRT. Not the carshow either.
I just feel like GM just keeps making the same cars over and over. I like the fact you can get it in the 6.2L and the interior looks nice (the color and bolstering ) loose everything else. Loose infotainment display, loose the shifter, move to a bigger sun roof, put in independent rear suspension to give rear passagers more space.
In Russia, only the 6.2L V8 engine is available on the Tahoe. Even on the base trim. No RST needed. But that’s a different story.
To all u people that are thinking about buy a GM full size SUV u don't need all wheel drive unless you live up north where it snow or going riding off road in the mud.other than that u just wastin money 2 wheel drive is all u need plus it's cheaper then all wheel drive
No LED tail lights, no LED turn signals up front and HALOGEN fogs... Chevy still living in 2006
I felt so old watching this.
