The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe got introduced essentially as a three-row pickup truck, enclosed and bolstered a useful stretch of space that came handy each time it has been allotted a task of towing heavy goods across the lengthy patches of land. We all know that truck driving isn’t the same as that of a family car or even SUVs, as in most cases trucks have to tread on unpaved surfaces in extreme climatic conditions as well as in wee hours of the night.
The Powertrain
The Statesville Chevrolet dealer experts say, that with a robust 420-hp V-8 engine mated with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain of the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe got enough strength to perform its tasks without fail. Though with limited third-row space, the Tahoe cannot be still, counted among the lifted minivan. The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe qualifies as a proper truck under the hood with every feature working at proper pace in collaboration with the integrated infotainment system installed for better safety and easier handling.
What’s New for 2018
The 2018 version of Tahoe is given GM’s 6.2-liter V-8 for the first time in tune with the latest 10-speed automatic transmission participating in the Rally Sport Truck (RST) with the confidence of the 6.2L Performance package. Tahoe’s base LS trim too gets a Custom Edition for this year, adding up a handful of features and the removed third-row seat.
On and Off-Road Performance
The 2018 Chevy Tahoe is a high-riding vehicle that handles the rides with supreme agility, as its tight turning circle provides better maneuverability. However as a pickup-truck the 2018 Chevvy Tahoe still has got a few underpinnings that might compromise the ride quality a bit on extremely rough surfaces.
The Chevrolet Tahoe for its 2018 version has added up a high dosage of performance spirit with the help of the new Rally Sport Truck Edition. The package even being an appearance oriented one had all the components in place, to highlight the powerful 420-hp V-8 engine powertrain with the support of the all-new 10-speed automatic gearbox installed in the new 6.2L Performance package.
This setup enables the 2018 Chevvy Tahoe to raise a speed of 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds, that is recorded to be significantly faster than any other standard powertrain for pickup trucks can manage. The performance version finally achieved a more composed handling especially when it is asked to speed up.
Final Driving Impressions
The Statesville Chevrolet dealership reveals that the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe got a design based on a body-on-frame concept, based on the Chevy Silverado pickup model. The rear leaf-spring suspension of the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe is able to tackle a smooth pavement that lies ahead in the days of heavy rain or snowfall. It handles still better when the body motion of the truck is kept in check before climbing up on a-ramp or need to suddenly hustle down on a twisty road. The credit goes much to the electrically assisted power-steering system that delivers a slow but steady performance on the off-road stretches with an accurate roll.
