The 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe is a popular full-size SUV with plenty of power, advanced features, and a spacious, comfortable interior. It has a few minimal changes, and it’s part of the fifth Tahoe generation introduced in 2021.
The Z71 package has a rugged, distinctive look, and it comes with:
The 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine has dynamic fuel management, direct injection, and variable valve timing. It includes aluminum block construction, and it provides 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The Z71 uses a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the gas tank can hold 24 gallons. It gets 15 miles per gallon (mpg) in traffic and 20 miles per gallon on the open road.
Automatic stop-and-start helps conserve fuel. You can also choose a 6.2-liter engine that gives 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque or a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder diesel motor with 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 7,500 pounds. This is the maximum amount the Z71 can carry, and it includes the weight of the SUV, passengers, and cargo. The towing capacity is 8,200 pounds. The Tahoe Z71 is 81 inches wide and 210.7 inches long. It has a 120.9-inch wheelbase, and it’s 75.9 inches tall.
The optional active suspension system gives you a smoother ride by isolating you and your passengers from rough roads. You can adjust the ride height as well. Hill descent control keeps drives down steep slopes slow and easily controllable, and a performance front skid plate provides underbody protection. You can use the engine start/stop button to start the Z71 from Park or Neutral. To stop the engine, shift to Park and press the button again. Trailer sway control monitors steering input and applies trailer brakes automatically, and four-wheel drive starts working when the vehicle detects wheel slippage.
This three-row SUV can carry up to nine people, and the second and third-row seats slide backwards and forwards for more comfort. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system comes with:
You can add a rear-seat entertainment system with two 12.6-inch displays behind the front seats. A nine-speaker Bose audio system is optional as well. Plus, when you buy a new Z71, your first maintenance visit within 12,000 miles or 12 months is free.
