2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ

The Tahoe is Chevrolet's full-size, body-on-frame SUV, slotting between the smaller Traverse and the heavy-duty Suburban. It competes with the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia, and Nissan Armada, offering similar size and towing capability. The V8 gives the Tahoe strong acceleration for its size, and the ride is smooth for a truck-based SUV, though it can feel its bulk in tight corners. Inside, the Tahoe seats up to nine in three rows, with removable third-row seats that open up generous cargo space. Owners report few major mechanical issues, though some mention cracked dashboards and worn seats in high-mileage examples. Magnetic Ride Control and power-retractable running boards mark out the LTZ from the LT below it. The 5.3L V8 pushes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed automatic, which in this LTZ goes to the rear wheels.
