2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Overview

Introduction

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a purpose-built, full-size four-door, family-oriented SUV. A sharp, precise driving feel, Active Fuel Management engine technology, and enhanced safety features make it a popular choice among full-size SUVs.
Available in 2WD or 4WD and in three trims, the Tahoe seats up to nine passengers and is rated to tow up to 8500 pounds when properly equipped. The 2WD LS and LT1 trims have a choice of two 320-hp 5.3-liter V8 engines which are both E85 fuel compatible. One has an iron block and the other has an aluminum block. The LTZ trims and the 4WD LS and LT1 trims offer the iron block version only. Each engine is coupled to an efficient six-speed automatic transmission. Safety features standard on all models include dual-stage front airbags, side curtain airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with dynamic rear proportioning, Stabilitrak stability control system with rollover mitigation, tire pressure monitoring system, and OnStar.

The 2010 model features new audio systems equipped with a USB port for all three trims, standard leather seat trim on the LT1, and also a standard navigation system and rear camera display for the LTZ trim.
