2006 NY Auto Show
Tahoe enters the model year with evolutionary changes. Tahoe retains the premium appointments, refined ride and handling, and outstanding levels of safety and capability that helped make it the industry’s best-selling full-size SUV.
Tahoe’s powertrain lineup includes GM’s 4.8-liter V8 as standard, rated at 285 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Owners seeking even more power and capability can choose the 5.3-liter V8, which generates 295 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard with both engines. Tahoe can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
StabiliTrak, GM’s electronic stability control system, is standard on vehicles equipped with the 5.3-literengine. StabiliTrak helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers, particularly in low traction conditions, in emergency lane changes and during avoidance maneuvers. StabiliTrak assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver’s intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver’s use of the brake pedal.
