2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ 4WD - Car and Driver
The Tahoe is still a full-size, body-on-frame boat hauler that rules the big-SUV set, but thoroughly revised inside and out. It’s more carlike than ever before and offers more high tech as well, with Chevrolet MyLink available on the LT and LTZ trim levels. There’s ample cargo room, but a high load floor impedes access to it. Instrumented Test – 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ 4WD “It’s a bit like driving a shipping container,” said our U. K. -based passenger. If you’d never driven a Chevy Tahoe , you, too, might be shocked by its gargantuan size and 5756 pounds. Shipping containers are spacious and useful, though, and so is the new Tahoe. Big on this scale means you don’t have to bother organizing your dog kennels, antique firearms, and stuffed elephants. A console as big as a coffee table keeps the driver and front passenger from violating any restraining orders. All that bigness is born of the Tahoe’s full-size pickup origins. Chevy introduced a redesigned Silverado last year , and the Tahoe inherits the many structural enhancements that Chevy bestowed upon its reborn pickup. New body and boxed-frame designs improve structural rigidity, and a higher percentage of high-strength steel helps keep the weight in check. Bolted to the frame is an independent front suspension, while a live rear axle with coil springs benefits from the Silverado’s. Source: www.caranddriver.com
