The Newly Designed Chevy Tahoe

A few weeks ago Chevy released it’s newly designed 2007 Tahoe. The vehicle is receiving great reviews, and Chevy is offering several new features this go around. For the past 5 or 6 years the Tahoe has maintained pretty much the same blocked exterior but the new 2007 model sports a more round and futuristic look. The interior has also received a facelift by adding wood accents, and offering such features as a navigation radio, heated seats, power lift gate, power fold down 2nd row seat, remote vehicle start, and a rear view camera system. These are all new features to be added to the already long list of extras if you should decide to upgrade. As you might of guessed most of the new features listed above come stock with the pricier models, but also be sure to remember that most of the extras aren’t limited to a specific model. You can always make request to add certain features to meet your needs. The new Chevy Tahoe also stepped up it’s game on safety features. The 2007 version boast the same safety features as previous models like stabilitrak, and antilock brakes. This version also has new head curtain side air bags and all rows have rollover sensors. The new heated windshield washer system is also a helpful safety measure. Probably the next question on everyone’s mind after safety is fuel economy. Chevy is well-known for providing America’s #1 and most fuel efficient full size suv’s and the new tahoe keeps the tradition alive with a new active fuel management system and C85 flexible-fuel capability. Highway fuel economy is estimated to reach the low-20s. Other notable features are the newly designed wheels, which come in sizes 17in x 7.5in and 20in x8.5in. The LS starts at $33,990 and the LT and LTZ are priced at 35,740 and 44,015. These of course are manufacturer suggested prices the actual dealership price will vary.

Welcome To Tahoe Head!!!!!!!!!

I like to welcome you to Tahoe Head, this blog will focus on all things related to the Chevrolet Trucks and Suv's mainly the Chevrolet Tahoe. If you haven't guessed already I am a proud owner of a Chevy Tahoe, and have been happy with my SUV for awhile now. However as any owner of a full-size SUV can tell you there is a price to pay besides the purchase price when owning such a vehicle. Most recently most of us felt the sting of high gas prices a little more than those driving smaller vehicles. There are other cost and setbacks that obviously are a factor when owning SUV's and Trucks compared to smaller vehicles. In this blog I will try to have an objective opinion, and state the positives and negatives I've had to deal with in deciding to stick with driving an SUV. The problems I've experienced with the vehicles performance are common in most Chevy Trucks unfortuately ,and hope that owners of these will leave comments and offer thier experiences to the blog so that we may all benefit from one anothers problems and solutions to solve those problems.
