Introducing the All New 2018 Chevy Tahoe
The 2018 Chevy Tahoe has been a best selling full size SUV year after year. Named the “Most Dependable Large SUV” by JD Power in 2017, its bold styling, performance and spacious interior make it a popular choice among families looking for a safe and dependable vehicle with a whole lot of “oomph.”
The Tahoe can seat up to eight passengers comfortably and has an abundance of safety features and strong safety ratings. It comes in three trim levels: LS, LT and Premier.
