Bottomline For those who need to get work done, but with some style and comfort, practicality still reigns in the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse is an Acadia/Enclave/Outlook wearing different duds. As the perennial best-selling truck-based SUV, the Ford Explorer is still the one to beat.
