7 Reasons Why the Tahoe is a Good Family Vehicle

If you and your family are seeking a comfortable, safe, reliable vehicle, you’ll find a complete selection of previously-owned Chevy Tahoe SUVs at our Atlanta used car lot. Here at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet, you’ll find the Tahoe to be a safe and reliable vehicle filled with all of the modern high-tech features that you and your family desire. We have a variety of used models – from well over a decade old up to the current model year – with low mileage and plenty of features like heated and cooled seats, hands-free liftgates, keyless entry, and leather seats. Purchasing a used Tahoe will give you relief that you can take the SUV on many driving adventures, and it will continue to be a reliable vehicle.

#1 – Options

At our Atlanta dealership, we carry a large variety of used Chevy Tahoe models. You’ll find the basic three trims of LS, LT, and LTZ, as well as special trims like the High Country, Premier, RST, and Z71. This gives you lots of options to find the perfect Tahoe for your family’s needs. And with the huge number of different model years available to choose from, there are even more possibilities to discover your ideal SUV at a price that fits your budget.

If your budget is larger and you yearn for all of the accessories possible, look at the more current models and upper trim levels. There you will find the MyLink touchscreen infotainment system, a rear-seat entertainment system, and low-speed automatic emergency braking. For winter driving, Tahoe owners will appreciate the heated and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel. Chevy engineers have also added lots of automation in later Tahoe models, such as a hands-free powered liftgate, power-folding third-row seats, and auto-dimming mirrors. The High Country trim is the best-equipped and adds air suspension, a panoramic sunroof, and trailering features into one package. It also adds the power sliding center console.

Are you looking for a sportier Tahoe version? Our Atlanta used car lot carries used RST models (Rally Sport Truck), a sporty trim that was introduced in 2018. These vehicles are equipped with 10-speed automatic transmission, 420-hp 6.2-liter V8 engine, and Magnetic Ride Control – a unique suspension technology that helps the shock absorbers adapt and adjust as the vehicle drives over different terrains and gives the driver the best possible ride. However, the RST and High Country are just a few of the options available with a used Tahoe.

#2 – Safety

Safety features are paramount when driving your family around town or on vacation. Chevy engineers have designed even the older Chevrolet Tahoe models to ensure that your family is safe. Recent models can even prevent accidents and automatically call for emergency services. Basic standard features, such as airbags, rear-seat child seat tethers, and anti-lock brakes, can be found on all models. But you can also find more advanced driver-assist technology such as a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, forward collision alert, lane-departure assist, front parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring.

All Tahoes from the past decade have received a four-star overall safety rating in government crash testing, guaranteeing your family is well-protected. You will also find many models equipped with the StabiliTrak stability and traction control, an electronic system that helps the vehicle stay on its intended course in treacherous road conditions.

#3 – Passenger Space

No matter if you’re driving your own family or your child’s sports team, the Chevy Tahoe will easily fit every member. For over 25 years, the Chevy Tahoe has gained a solid reputation as the “go-to” vehicle to transport people and cargo. Our used Tahoe models can accommodate up to nine passengers, and there are not many other vehicles on the road that can offer that benefit. Its three-row seating makes it easy for everyone to find a seat and spread out comfortably. But your occupants will also benefit from the Tahoe’s quiet cabin, smooth drive, and plush interior with easy accessibility to various controls and smartphone connectivity and chargers.

#4 – Cargo

You and your family will be pleased with the cargo space in your used Tahoe. There are plenty of areas within the cabin to store a book, smartphone, or snacks as you travel. Chevy designers engineered interior cargo capacity of almost 95 cubic feet in recent models. If the second row is in use, you’ll have about 52 cubic feet of capacity for your travel luggage or sports gear. If all three rows are in use, the trunk measures about 15 cubic feet. However, the Tahoe also has handy roof rails, which are perfect for bringing along a surfboard or bicycle. You’ll never lack for power in the Tahoe; its standard V8 engine will easily transport the family and all of your gear wherever you travel.

#5 – Towing

If you and your family plan to use your Tahoe to tow equipment, perhaps a boat, camper, or ATVs, you’ll find a wide number of previously-owned Tahoes that will fit your needs. If you require towing capacity of up to 7,000 pounds, a first-generation two-wheel drive model will handle that task. In newer generation models, the towing capacity increases up to 8,600 pounds thanks to the vehicle’s sturdy frame and powerful engine. Some used models are equipped with other towing equipment, such as the Max Trailering package, that provides important trailering upgrades to cooling, suspension, and more.

#6 – Technology

The Tahoe is always at the top of the list as a favorite family car. That’s due, in part, to offering a comfortable ride for your modern, high-tech family. The Tahoe will keep you and your young ones entertained throughout their ride. Our used car lot carries some of the latest Tahoe versions with standard amenities such as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to keep you and your family connected, as well as remote vehicle start, SiriusXM satellite radio, and the popular OnStar. No matter where you travel or what season it is, you can be comfortable in a used Tahoe equipped with automatic climate control. Your family will enjoy the tri-zone system with individual climate settings for you and your front and rear passengers.

#7 – Off-Roading

If your family is adventurous or just prefers being out in the wilderness, you’ll find a used Tahoe on our lot for driving off-road. A Tahoe LT model can be equipped with a Z71 off-road package. This provides better features to allow for easier handling and high-speed driving on rocky dirt trails. This model features an upgraded air suspension, aluminum skid plates, fog lights, and 18-inch wheels for that unpredictable terrain.
