2018 Chevrolet Tahoe LT

The 2018 Tahoe is Chevrolet's full-size SUV, a roomy three-row family hauler that also tows and tackles snow. It squares off against the Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia, with a more modern interior than the aging Sequoia. The V8 gives the Tahoe strong acceleration for its size, and the ride stays composed on the highway. Inside, the cabin is plush with comfortable leather seats and a fold-flat third row, though cargo space trails some rivals. Stepping up to the LT adds the convenience features most families want, like power-adjustable front seats and remote start, without jumping to the Premier's luxury price. The 5.3L V8 makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, enough to pull a boat or fill the cabin with people and still merge onto the highway with authority, and the six-speed automatic keeps the power smooth. With the LT you can add the Z71 off-road package, which gives it a tougher look and a beefier suspension for dirt roads, though the ride is firmer on pavement.
