I’ve always liked the Chevrolet Tahoe, but I’m obviously not the only one since it’s still the best selling SUV in the country. Even though I no longer need to carry Little League baseball players or aspiring ballerinas to their appointments, I still appreciate the comfort and security provided by these spacious SUVs.
My recent test model was a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ, which came loaded with all the safety and security features as well as the latest technology. While I enjoyed driving it around town, it felt kind of empty and a little too quiet without anyone chattering (or yelling) from the third row. The Tahoe is meant to be enjoyed by more than just the driver!
A good remedy was picking up some friends to take on a drive out to Fair Park for lunch at the Old Mill Inn, followed by shopping in some eclectic spots we found in Deep Ellum. We especially appreciated the hand-free automatic lift gate that opened into the wide trunk space (with a maximum of 94.7 cu ft) for assorted packages.
Another hit with the group was all the technology, such as a conversation mirror in the overhead console that gives a panoramic view of the rear seats, the 8-inch color touch screen radio with next generation MyLink connectivity, and six USB ports and six power outlets for electronics (up to 12 charging locations). When one friend’s phone needed charging, she was thrilled to find all these outlets.
