The Chevrolet Tahoe is one of the best-selling full-size SUVs on the market. The 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe is a 4-door, up to 9-passenger sport-utility-vehicle. It is available in 4 trim levels.
The base LS features facilities like tri-zone manual climate control, a CD player, keyless entry, a driver information center, and OnStar. The off-road-oriented Z71 model offers a specially tuned suspension, plus 10-way power adjustment, and leather upholstery. LT models get an automatic climate control and XM Satellite Radio.
The 2WD w/1WT is powered by a 4.8-liter, V8, 285hp engine. It achieves 16-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. The 4WD is equipped with a standard 5.3-liter, V8, 295hp engine. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. The V8 engine delivers ample power. The suspension delivers a stable, smooth ride, regardless of whether the Chevrolet Tahoe travels on or off pavement. The steering is light enough to maneuver the big vehicle easily.
Inside, the Tahoe provides an easy-to-read analog instrumentation, user-friendly controls and well-cushioned seats. A 50/50-split third-row seat allows the Tahoe to seat anywhere from seven to nine people. With a roomy and comfortable interior, it makes a great weekend-getaway machine.
Four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard on all models. Front-seat side-impact airbags are optional. In crash testing, the Chevrolet Tahoe scored four stars for its protection of front occupants in frontal impacts.
If you want a vehicle that can handle city roads as well as it does a backcountry road, the Tahoe should be top most on your list.
