As expected, the sporty 2-door is best used by two people and luggage. The rear seat
has adequate room, but getting there is something of a chore and the 4-door is far
more spacious. Climbing into the 4-door's rear seat presents no challenge, of course.
There's a good-sized step-up, but passenger-assist handles take excess effort out of
this and the door openings are wide.
A side benefit to opting for the larger Tahoe is the extra cargo room freed by placing
the spare tire under the rear floor. Two-door models still carry their spare upright
in the cargo space.
Tahoes can be as plain or fancy as the owner's inclinations and budget allow. A long
list of extras are offered to make them more comfortable, including air conditioning,
tilt steering wheel, keyless entry, power assists for windows, door locks and mirrors,
a variety of sound systems, fancier paint and upholstery upgrades, side running
boards/steps that can support 600 lbs., styled steel or cast-aluminum wheels, or
easier to drive off-road electric pushbutton shifting for the 4x4's 2-speed transfer
case. Next Page
