Times have changed since 2006, when the Chevy Tahoe was new and GM's big sport-utility vehicles were a critical part of its product plan. There wasn't even a Chevy Traverse crossover in its lineup at the time--and GM even sped up development of the big truck-based utes (Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade) to take advantage of the still-hot SUV boom.

Gas prices and recession took the wind out of the Tahoe's sails. Today most of those families have downsized, moving to sedans, or more likely, moved to smoother, more carlike crossovers. But big swaths of American drivers still look to these more truck-like SUVs for everyday family use. Body-on-frame sport-utility vehicles like the Tahoe remain your best option if you need truck toughness, for regular towing and good passenger space.
The Tahoe's no relic, in that frame--it remains competitive even in this final abbreviated year of production, before a new model arrives for the 2015 model year. GM gave the Tahoe, and the related GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade some very good bones, as well as chiseled good looks that have stood up well to the test of time.
Chevy Tahoe styling
The time-tested Tahoe isn't going to knock you out with its exterior design, but it remains very handsome and contemporary, thanks to lots of work that went into making its surfaces flush and its lines clean. The Tahoe's styling follows a basic two-box SUV design, rounded ever so slightly at the corners, with gently flared fenders. A wide band studded by a bowtie logo splits the large grille, and it's flanked by a pair of very big headlights, squared off into the fenders. The Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia can appear overwrought, but the Tahoe feels just right for those who don't need to assert themselves.
Inside, it's a little less rosy; the Tahoe's instrument panel and trims (as with those in the rest of GM's full-sizers) now look dated next to Chevy's cars and crossovers and somewhat out of place next to the more macho-styled alternatives from other automakers. The Tahoe LTZ gets much-upgraded materials; a band of trim runs across the dash and gives the cabin a spacious appearance, and large, well-marked gauges are framed by the steering wheel, with a wide center console alongside.
Chevy Tahoe performance and gas mileage
The Tahoe now comes only with a 5.3-liter V-8 with 320 horsepower, coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. The former Hybrid model is not available for the 2014 model year, and we haven't heard whether it will return with the next-generation vehicle. The gas drivetrain is a well-executed combo that doles out smooth, steady acceleration as well as a little of the muscle-bound V-8 sound. It also has cylinder deactivation, which shuts off fuel to half the cylinders under coasting or deceleration. On most of the lineup, rear-wheel drive is standard, with a dual-range four-wheel-drive system available.
With a fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering, the Tahoe blends traditional truck duty with more modern standards of drivability and responsiveness. At its best, the Tahoe is as responsive as any 5,600-pound vehicle can be and feels much more maneuverable than it should. Base versions of the Tahoe don't quite ride as well as top-of-the-line Tahoe LTZ models with the magnetic suspension, however. Powertrain Grade Braking helps improve stability when making long descents.
The Tahoe is unremarkable in terms of gas mileage. The ute earns an EPA score of 15/21 mpg--which is an improvement over the truck-based
