The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe arrives to dealerships mainly unchanged from 2017’s popular models. The LS trim will gain an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The other surprise is the introduction of the Rally Sport Truck. The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST is a blacked-out baddie that rides on 22-inch wheels, is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420-horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. It is paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission and is loaded to the gills with enhancements. It’s an upgraded convenience package in the LT trim but can be additionally enhanced with Brembo performance brakes and a sport-tuned Borla exhaust system.

The Tahoe is offered in three trim levels, LS, LT, and Premier. The standard Tahoe powerplant is a 5.3-liter V8 that belts out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and can return 23 miles per gallon on the highway and 16 mpg in the city with standard two-wheel drive. When equipped properly, the Tahoe has a towing capability of 8,600 lbs.
