10 Biggest News Stories of the Week: Chevrolet Tahoe Trailed by Ford Explorer
The redesigned-for-2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is big, gas-guzzling and expensive, but — as Cars.com’s Aaron Bragman put it in his review of the Chevy Silverado pickup’s full-size SUV sibling — it also “feels like a massive upgrade over the old one, loaded with technology, style, luxury and capability.” The greatest improvements may have been to the cabin, largely due to increases in both this family hauler’s length and wheelbase, which frees up vital cubic feet in both rear rows as well as the cargo area — and our inside scoop on the Tahoe’s interior found space near the top of this week’s countdown of our most popular news articles.
