KBB's Best in Show for 5-Year Cost to Own During 2018 Results: Chevy Tahoe is the Champion!

When customers come to talk to us here at Chuck Hutton about new car ownership, one of the major factors behind their decision is how much it costs in the long run to own the car, and the KBB Family Car Favorite for the year is a large honor for us to accept as a proud Chevy dealer. Truck comfort that is timeless and an overall sense of clarity on the road, ability to tow 8,600 pounds, and to carry nearly 95 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats are some of the qualities that deem the Tahoe fit enough for the longer of family adventures. The ability to deliver a ride that is spacious and comfortable is what the Premium trim level offers to the driver, and GM's Magnetic Ride Control was made available as standard equipment over the last year.

As of late in the auto landscape, big size has been sought after at a higher rate, and the Tahoe is still very easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Thanks to the presence of the rear-view camera and onboard park assist feature, you don't have to feel so stressed if you are piloting yourself through a smaller-than-average spot. The steering is airtight-precise when you have it out on the open road, and the height it possesses gives you a very commanding sense of confidence with every turn. Having this strength on a daily basis renders full-size SUV's a great pick for everyone who has a yearning to get on the open road, and navigate with the utility factor and safe travel with one of America's best vehicles in production under foot.

Motor Trend gave much praise to this year's Tahoe for its very quiet cabin, quick acceleration with optional and hefty 6.2-liter V-8, large amount of cargo space, and pleasantly bulky stature. This world-class and very knowledgeable magazine staff were in agreement with us that the Premier trim is where things begin to step up levels amazingly: there are the addition of HID headlights, fog lights, 20-inch Alloy wheels, keyless start, front parking sensors, 12-way power front seats, ventilated front seats, power-operated folding second- and third rows, magnetic ride control, navigation, and absolutely loud-rocking 10-speaker Bose audio system, as well as wireless phone charging, and heated second-row seats.

Coming available with two different V-8 engines will definitely bolster excitement for anyone who is on the hunt for extra power, and a base 5.3-liter with 355 hp as well as 383 lb-ft of torque is the entry-level offering. If you make the choice to step up to the RST edition, you'll acquire the 6.2-liter with 420 hp, and 460 lb-ft of torque. After receiving a 4-star overall rating from the NHTSA, the 2018 Chevy Tahoe has the ability to entrust your friends and family with the utmost in safety during every single ride.

Magnetic Ride Control does a first-rate job of improving overall handling, and also eliminates any trace of existing body roll. Having the ability to navigate through rough terrain, this year's Tahoe is right at home off-road, where your favorite camping spot, lake, or wilderness location may beckon you to come enjoy its amenities on the double! Everyone is making great strides to do everything possible to keep costs down these days, and here at Chuck Hutton Chevrolet, we can agree that the 5-year mark is always a major one to consider when the checkbook is a very constantly pressing issue!
