2007 Chevrolet TahoeEvery year since 2001, the Tahoe has been the best-selling full-size SUV. While most people probably are not aware of this fact, GM is very proud of its record, and has gone to great lengths to try to keep it that way. Perhaps its best-selling SUV has been overlooked because the last major overhaul dates back to 2000, along with the entire full-size SUV line from GM. The current Tahoe stacks up short to the fresh Ford Expedition and recent Nissan Armada. Combine this with GM's recent financial trouble and questions about the future of its vehicle brands and you begin to wonder what has been going on over at GM. All that may change since GM has just revealed the future of its full-size SUV line.
September 20, 2005, marks GM's unveiling of its latest effort, the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. In a world where people are buying more small and mid-sized SUV, GM has actually increased the size and weight of its full-size flagship. But don't jump to any conclusions just yet. GM claims this new Tahoe offers a better ride, handling and quietness, as well as improved efficiency -- upwards of 20 miles per gallon in combined fuel economy.
The Tahoe will be built on GM's new full-size SUV platform, a design that will be shared with the Suburban as well as the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. Some of the features of this new platform include a track width that is nearly three inches wider in front and one inch in the rear. A new coil-over-shock front suspension is designed to improve ride and handling, as is the updated five-link rear suspension with variable-rate springs. The rack-and-pinion steering system and four-wheel disc brakes have also been redesigned for better response and improved safety.
