The Chevrolet Tahoe 2011 is mostly unaltered. This large SUV lends its basic design to the GMC Yukon and premium-large Cadillac Escalade. Tahoe accommodates 9 passengers and comes in LS, LT, LTZ, and gas/electric Hybrid trim levels. Most are available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. A two-speed transfer case, which includes low-range gearing for off-road use, is voluntary on the LS and LT and standard on the LTZ and Hybrid. The sole powertrain for non-hybrid models is a 320-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 engine that teams with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Non-hybrid Tahoes can run on E85 ethanol-mixed fuel with a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds.
The 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid continues to pair a 6.0-liter V8 engine with an electric motor for 332 horsepower total. Hybrids can run on one or both of their power sources, depending on driving demands and they require no plug-in charging. The engine couples with a constantly variable transmission (CVT) that performs much like an automatic. The Hybrid's maximum towing capacity is 6,200 pounds. Conventional and Hybrid Tahoes employ GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation system.
Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Blind-spot alert is optional on the LTZ. Heated and cooled front seats are exclusive to the LTZ. Other available features include a navigation system, wireless cell-phone link, and rearview camera.
