2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a comfortable, roomy machine that gets surprisingly good gas mileage. It offers more power and more seating capacity than its predecessor and adds safety features such as side-impact air bags. These changes don't just make the new Tahoe better than the old one, they make it better than the other full-size SUVs available.
