Chevy Tahoe for Sale Near Hoover

The Tahoe Over the Years

Named for one of the premier lake regions of North America, the Tahoe is a full-size model offering three rows of seats, so you can fit up to nine passengers depending on the new or used Tahoe model you choose. It also gives you a great choice of engines, as well as rear-wheel drive for improved acceleration or four-wheel drive for exceptional traction. In fact, the Tahoe ranks as one of the largest SUV models, with plenty of trunk space for shopping trips, groceries, and road trips. However, the Tahoe hasn't always been this big and well-equipped.

Chevy premiered the Tahoe in 1995 with a body-on-frame design using a truck chassis. This first Tahoe generation featured a choice of two-doors or four-doors, with two rows of seats. On two-door models, the rear seats were accessed by folding down the front seats and climbing in, much like on a sports coupe. The trunk was large, as would be expected on a full-size SUV. However, the Tahoe could only accommodate up to five passengers, much like a midsize SUV, unless you opted for a bench seat on the first row that would let you seat up to six passengers. Chevy gave you a V8 engine on the Tahoe with a choice of conventional gasoline or diesel, as well as rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.

However, by the second generation that started in 2000, the two-door Tahoe was gone. From now on, this model would have a four-door design. In addition, Chevy boosted the horsepower of the available engines while improving the overall fuel economy of the Tahoe for each of its engine options. However, the biggest change in the Tahoe during the second generation was the introduction of a third row of seats. The vehicle could now accommodate even more passengers and cargo, giving it an advantage over other SUV models available at the time.

The third generation of the Tahoe eliminated the diesel engine option, replacing it with a flex-fuel one that allowed drivers to use E85 gasoline. As with the prior generational change, Chevy improved both engine output and fuel economy on the Tahoe. A hybrid engine option was even offered from 2008 to 2013, giving drivers impressive fuel economy for a vehicle of the Tahoe's size.

Chevy started to push the technological envelope on the Tahoe, starting with the fourth-generation model in 2015. Available features that had first been introduced in the prior generation became standard on the Tahoe. An advanced infotainment system was introduced, allowing for cell phone connectivity, initially with Bluetooth and eventually with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The touchscreen on this would also expand over time as the model grew in size. Chevy Safety Assist features also started to become available on the Tahoe. This is a suite of active driver assist features designed to help avoid accidents or reduce damage to the vehicle and injuries to the passengers caused by a collision.

For the fifth generation, Chevy decided to supersize the Tahoe. The increase in space provides drivers with an expansive cargo capacity, as well as three rows of seats that can accommodate up to nine adults. This is why the Tahoe is so popular with family drivers in Hoover. In addition, the towing capability of the Tahoe was also improved, making it ideal for folks from Hoover who wish to pull a boat or camper for a fun weekend at nearby Oak Mountain State Park.

Chevy also started offering more options than ever on the Tahoe. Drivers could now choose more engines, including a powerful turbo-diesel. In addition, Chevy expanded the trim level, allowing drivers to choose the comfort and convenience features they wanted on their vehicle.
