The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Is An American icon, Redesigned on Everyman Driver

The Chevy Tahoe is one of the most iconic full-size SUVs on the market. The Tahoe is for those seeking a usable third row, excellent cargo volume, and segment-leading towing capacity. When needed, both the third and second row can be folded to transform the Tahoe into a real cargo hauler. With a fresh 2021 redesign marking the beginning of its fifth-generation, The Chevy Tahoe is all-new inside and out.

Pros: Large cargo volume capabilities; Spacious rear seating; Strong towing capacity

Cons: Competitors offer more technology; Poor fuel economy

With the exception of the High Country, the Chevy Tahoe is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The High County gets a 6.2-liter V8 capable of producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
