The 2007 Tahoe is built on GM’s new full-size SUV platform, which incorporates features such as a new, fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and an all-new interior. Wider front and rear tracks enhance handling and lower the center of gravity for a more confident road feel, according to GM. The new Gen IV small-block V-8 family offers more power and displacement on demand technology. Preliminary testing with 5.3L-equipped models shows unadjusted combined fuel economy ratings of 20.5 mpg with 2WD models and 20.1 mpg with 4WD models. That’s better fuel economy than any other full-size SUV, according to GM. The Vortec 5.3L V-8 with 320 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque with displacement on demand is standard at the start of production. A Vortec 4.8L V-8 will become available later and will be standard on Tahoe 2WD models.
