The Chevrolet Tahoe is entering the 2018 model year
with a new value-focused special edition. Dubbed the Tahoe Custom, the model is
based on the Tahoe LS and features a chromed grille and 18-inch painted
aluminum wheels with all-season tires.
The interior largely carries over with the only
notable exception being the removal of the third row seat. This increases the
cargo capacity to 54 cubic feet but that climbs to 112 cubic feet when the
second-row seats are folded down.
The
model comes nicely equipped with a rearview camera, a remote starting system,
and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto compatibility. The Tahoe also offers up to five USB ports and 4G LTE
connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Power is provided by a 5.3-liter V8 engine that
produces 355 hp and 518 Nm of torque. This enables the
model to tow up to 6,600 pounds (2,993 kg) in its base configuration and up to
8,600 pounds (3,900 kg) with the optional max trailering package.
The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe Custom will begin arriving
at dealerships in September and pricing starts at US$ 44,995.
