If you can cotton to its size, and don't mind a very tall step-in or a third row arrangement that's terribly inefficient for either maximum cargo hauling or comfortable passenger accommodations, this Tahoe continues to prove itself remarkably accomplished and, with the above exceptions in mind, very easy to live with.
John Biel
With $6420 in options (above and beyond the package necessary to turn an LTZ into an LTZ), this test vehicle's sticker easily clears $50,000. That makes it a pricey proposition to buy and--with low-teens fuel economy--a pricey vehicle to feed. But it is solid, powerful, and comfortable, and an absolute must-see for anyone with legitimate need for the capability this kind of vehicle can provide.
Matt Jaster
An excellent choice for motoring multiple passengers around town, the Tahoe is a solid ride in almost every facet of the class.
Tom Appel
The ideal four-adult long-haul cruiser.

When the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator do 3rd-row passenger and cargo duty so much better than GM's entries, we're remiss for not leveling sharper criticism of the Chevrolet/GMC/Cadillac large SUVs on these vital points.
Ed Piotrowski
The sub 12-mpg performance of this vehicle on E85 makes using ethanol an even more questionable proposition, given that there's no dramatic savings in terms of cost per gallon between the two types of fuel. Still, giving consumers the option to use one fuel or another is never a bad thing.

Hard to fault the new Tahoe. Still king in the class, now by a larger margin--even over large luxury SUVs. Full-size SUV buyers need look no further.
Tom Appel
Our LTZ was a pricey tester, listing for a crispy $51,500. At $40-45K., a judiciously optioned LT is the value king here, offering best-in-class utility, and surprising refinement. Looking big? Put Tahoe on the list--but watch the bottom line.
