Can you name America's best selling full-size SUV? Yes, you have got it right. It's Chevrolet Tahoe. Because, it's big enough to haul busloads of people and boatloads of cargo, yet it's more manageable than the super-size Suburban. Tahoe carries more cargo than a compact or mid-size SUV such as the Chevy Trail Blazer or Ford Explorer. It can carry five passengers and their gear at the same time. Third-row seats are available to increase the capacity to seven passengers, or up to nine when equipped with bench seats throughout. The 2004 version of Tahoe makes for a stable towing platform and pulling a trailer is no problem with the optional 5.3-liter V8. The shape and size notwithstanding, the Tahoe is far more maneuverable than any other SUV.

Chevrolet Tahoe is, no doubt, an attractive truck. The big outside mirrors attached to the 2004 version of Tahoe facilitates an excellent view rearward. The mirrors on LT and Z71 models feature puddle lamps that light up the perimeter. The mirrors also tilt down when you shift into reverse. The Tahoe is more than 22 inches shorter than the Suburban and nearly 9 inches shorter than the Ford Expedition. It is nearly 11 inches shorter than the stretched, midsize Chevy Trail Blazer EXT and about 5 inches longer than the standard Trail Blazer, but the Tahoe is 4 inches wider than the Trail Blazer EXT. The Tahoe's door handles are well designed and easy to use; you do not need to flip your hand over to pull on them.

Compare this Tahoe with the new 2004 Expedition.
