What Features in the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe Are Most Important?

Full-size SUVs such as the Tahoe serve a market that demands ample passenger and cargo room, heavy-duty towing capability, off-road prowess and the amenities of a luxury sedan. The Tahoe offers a variety of seating options and handy interior storage bins, plus it accommodates occupants' electronics needs with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, up to seven USB ports and six power outlets. Forward collision warning and low-speed automatic emergency braking are included on LT and Premier trim levels.

Though adaptive shock absorbers are known for mitigating ride-quality problems, the optional Magnetic Ride Control yields a stiff ride when combined with 22-inch wheels, as in the RST Edition and Premier Plus Edition.

Full-size SUVs still fill a sizable niche that requires capabilities crossovers can't provide, and the Tahoe acquits itself well in most regards — and it offers a variety of configurations to suit many needs. The Ford Expedition was redesigned for 2018 and provides stronger competition than before, so it'll pay to cross-shop at a Ford store before deciding if the Tahoe is the right choice for you.
