When it very first hit the automotive scene in
1995, the Tahoe
offered the precise maneuverability of a short-wheelbase truck while also
having four-door practicality. It boasted the multi-purpose family vehicle
angle, the versatility to tow a trailer, go off-road, and offer comfort on long
trips. As all of us here at Jim
Butler Chevy of St Louis are celebrating its 25th year on the
road, we are taking a minute to reflect here on the blog this week all of the
great features it has and how many customers it has left satisfied!
This is a vehicle that has seen consistent honors
for durability, reliability, and customer experience. Just recently it enjoyed
honors in the J.D. Power 2019 initial Quality Study and the 2018 Kelley Blue
Book's 5-year Cost to Own Awards. It is so well-liked that it accounts for
nearly one of every four full-size SUVs sold in the U.S., and when grouped with
the Suburban,
the Chevy brand accounts for 45 percent of the full-size SUV segment, which
doubles the results of our closest competitor.
Law enforcement and government agencies have
always needed vehicles that are rugged, durable, and reliable, and the Tahoe
has delivered just that for years. The fully-equipped Tahoe PPV (Police Pursuit
Vehicle) features modifications to the suspension and control to handle
high-speed driving and rapid stops, elements you may encounter when trying to
pursue any suspect. There is also a high output alternator and an auxiliary
battery, which help provide vital power for laptops and pursuit lights.
Many who have purchased and enjoyed the Tahoe
claim that it resonated so well with them because they loved the new technology
that was added to each year's model, and performance, as well as capability,
were improved annually as well to meet the customer's frequently changing
needs. Every single Tahoe produced in Arlington, Texas makes use of
globally-sourced parts, and all eyes were on the incoming model when it made
its debut in Detroit in the stadium that the Detroit Red Wings Hockey team and
Detroit Pistons call home.
