The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is standard on most trims, delivering 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque for everyday commutes and highway miles. Drivers who regularly tow or want more on-demand power can step up to the available 6.2L V8, which produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque for a noticeably stronger haul.
For drivers near Franklin, IN, who prioritize range and torque, the available Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel is worth a look. It puts out 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque while delivering an EPA-estimated maximum highway range of 624 miles per tank. Maximum available towing capacity reaches 8,400 pounds with the proper configuration, making the Tahoe a capable choice for anyone pulling a boat, camper, or work trailer.
Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is offered on the LT, RST, Premier, and High Country trims, allowing hands-free driving on compatible roads, including hands-free trailering across one of the largest compatible highway networks in North America. The Tahoe also offers up to 14 available camera views, advanced trailer guidance systems, and wireless smartphone integration. Schedule a test drive to get a feel for how it all works in practice.
Standard safety tech covers the full lineup, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Three. The standard 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque and comes on most trims. The available 6.2L V8 steps that up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft for drivers who want more towing muscle or on-demand power. The third option is a Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel that puts out 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque with an EPA-estimated maximum highway range of 624 miles per tank.
When properly configured, the Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds. That’s enough for a large boat, a fifth-wheel camper, or a loaded work trailer. Towing capacity varies by engine, drivetrain, and equipment, so it’s worth confirming the exact rating for the trim and configuration you’re considering.
The Tahoe seats up to nine passengers across three rows depending on the seating configuration you choose. It’s one of the roomier options in the full-size SUV segment, and the third row is more accessible than it is on many competitors thanks to the available power-folding seat controls.
With all rear seats folded flat, the Tahoe offers up to 122.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. Even with all three rows occupied, there’s usable space behind the third row for bags and gear. It’s a genuinely practical amount of room for a vehicle that also happens to tow and haul.
The 6.2L V8 is available as an upgrade on the RST and comes standard on the High Country. If you want the stronger engine on a mid-range trim, the RST is your entry point into that option.
Super Cruise is Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance system that allows hands-free driving on compatible divided highways, including hands-free trailering. It’s available on the LT, RST, Premier, and High Country trims. It’s not offered on the LS or Z71.
Every Tahoe includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control as standard equipment. HD Surround Vision and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist are also included on the base LS, which is unusual for an entry-level trim in this segment.
The Z71 is built for drivers who take the Tahoe off pavement. It adds an aluminum skid plate, red recovery hooks, a high-approach-angle front fascia, and an Autotrac two-speed transfer case. An available air suspension gives it extra capability on uneven terrain. If your weekends involve dirt roads, boat launches, or campsite access, the Z71 is the trim built around that.
