Chevrolet Tahoe 2008

Chevrolet ' s Tahoe is joining its GMC and Cadillac GMT900 platform mates in offering GM ' s 6. 2 - liter V - 8 as an engine option for the 2008 model year. It is now the most powerful engine available for the Tahoe.

The engine, which will be offered for the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ trim package, is only available for two - wheel - drive models and is rated at 380 horsepower and 417 lb - ft of torque. The engine is also available on the Denali trim GMC Yukon, while a slightly - uprated version of the engine is standard equipment on the Cadillac Escalade.

The block is mated to GM ' s six - speed Hydra - Matic 6L80 automatic transmission, which has a tapshift gear select system located on the column shifter. It ' s not the most graceful setup in the world, but at least they can say they have one. The vehicle will have a towing capacity of 7, 900 pounds, according to the automaker.

The Tahoe LTZ is Chevrolet ' s top trim level in the Tahoe lineup and the vehicle comes with long standard feature list and a number of available upscale options.
