| Description: | In a road test of the Chevy Tahoe, our editors found this SUV's interior impressive. The dashboard looks modern, switchgear operates elegantly and materials feel high-quality. Occupants have plenty of room to stretch out and the ride quality is comfortable. Noted downsides include the lack of a fold-flat third-row seat and a hefty curb weight that dulls handling, acceleration and fuel economy. Much of this commentary also holds true for the Tahoe's slightly more upscale twin, the GMC Yukon. |
jese you can take out a whole group of bad guys in this bad boy.
I don't have a Tahoe but I have a Yukon which is the same thing. Amazing is all I can say. My last car issued was a crown vic and those are great but this thing is huge. Plenty of room. Our K9 Officer has room for is dog and prisoners. Cant do that with a crown vic can ya.
I recently saw an unmarked Tahoe driving down I-10. I wasn't sure if it was one, so I got a closer look. And yep, there I saw reb/blue strobe lights inside, spotlight, computer, and all the features of an unmarked vehicle. However, it had a regular license plate, not a G- or USGov plate. It must have been a fed or bp. Not sure though. But it sure did look nice.

These things are awesome. We don't have the police package here, just a civilian 4x4 turned cop machine and they are intimidating as hell in the rear view mirror. They lag on acceleration, but they are nice and roomy for tall cops, and all the gear we carry.
The Tahoe is a very capable work vehicle. It does the job well for me. I carry a lot of equipment and there is room to spare. They could be a little faster, but it is fast enough in most situations.
i love this tahoes. i think they are a lot better than the 05's! they have a lot more room and feel better when you are driving them. than and they look really mean with a brush guard on them
The '06 Tahoe is a decent ride, but it lacks the off road durability needed for more rural work. When used on a more off road basis, the Tahoe quickly loses it's grace and power. The standard shocks do nothing for your back. This vehicle will soon show it's lack of rough n' tumble durability once taken off the mean streets and put into God's country.
Not a bad ride.. plenty of room for gear. Working as a K9 handler, it worries me that over the years the ground to kennel distance and angle may take it's toll on the dog.. I would have taken a crown vic, but not my choice...
This is a much better improvement to the 2003 Tahoe. It is far more superior to the Dodge Durango for several reasons; ground clearance, retrofitting, and room.
Great vehicle for personal use and job use. Boy does our K-9 officer want one of these boogers.
Nice patrol vehicle for my area near the beach, the 4X4 is great when driving on the beach..not suited for all agencies..Comfortable ride.
A great K9 Unit but I wouldn't use it for regular patrol purposes.
CHICAGO P.D HAS ONE OUT AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT THIS BEAST IS AWSOME! IT HAS ALL THE GADGETS AND TECHNOLOGY FOR TODAYS URBAN WARFARE . ONE LIL TOY I LIKE IS THE RADAR ON THE ROOF OF THE UNIT CAN READ AND PROCESS UP TO 100 LICENSE PLATES PER MINUTE !
I drive the GMC Yukon, the twin to the Tahoe, its the civilian 4x4 version, its an ok vehicle does great off road, has plenty of room for us taller cops, but the aceleration sucks! top speed sucks! overall I pleased with it, just with GM would do some more R and D and make em alittle more zippy, or maybe we just need the police package, but we have to have 4 wheel drive where I work, 2 wheel dont cut it in the winter.
Had one of these for a K9 vehicle. Had plenty of room for two dogs and gear. All in all had decent turning radius and was good off road. Other than that really was not much that could be said.
I have driven alot of tahoes and suburbans. I like the stability and power. Rides comfortable and I like the fact that I might have achance to drive one as a LEO.
This is where i'm headed! Hopefully i be driving one someday! The best on the Road!
While I drive a Z-71 pick up now, this is the best...
I have one of the 2007 tahoes for my personal vehicle, and it is the best thing I have ever owned what a piece of machinery!
A lot of room inside, but a little top heavy at high speed.
About a year ago the Sheriff outfitted the K-9 teams with the Chevy Tahoe’s. It’s a nice vehicle which enables us to respond to a crime scene which may be off the beaten path. During an arrest situation, I can now transport the prisoner in the rear with a separate cage instead of having to call for a transport unit. I really enjoy this vehicle.
Good Car
NICE.....BUT A GAS HOGGER
