The redesigned Tahoe—and its twin the GMC Yukon—is an extremely functional three-row SUV that offers comfort, quietness, and towing capacity. It gained refinement through ditching the old solid-axle rear suspension and moving to an independent rear suspension, as commonly found on cars and crossovers. This upgrade pays dividends in ride, handling, and interior room.
The standard 5.3-liter V8 engine delivers ample power at any time, with a satisfying purr. The smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission teams well with the engine. Fuel economy is 17 mpg overall, not great, but 1 mpg better than the previous generation.
In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.
