Other Choices:

The Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia are both a bit larger than the Chevrolet Tahoe and could also be compared against the larger Chevrolet Suburban. Don't write off the Tahoe because of quality concerns, this truck is designed and built to run among the best of the best. A properly equipped 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe can tow four tons, besting the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada in this important category. Compared to the Ford Expedition the big Chevy offers a wider choice of engines and TheCarConnection.com's editors appreciate its comparatively more responsive handling and great ride quality in the top LTZ models.

    One Happy Customer

    I admit that I was unsure of my purchase in January when it was sort of an impulse by. I had been in the midst of my research when I Realized that the GM Employee Discount was going to end. I purchased my Chevy Tahoe LT2 on the last day to take advantage of that pricing.
    Last month, I was involved in an accident when a lady pulled out in front of me on a very busy road when I was traveling at 35mph. I was able to skid down to about 25mph before the collision, and her car was in pretty bad shape. Mine just had just a few scratches on the front bumper. There was however a lot more damage below the surface, and the lady's insurance company over $8000. There was significant damage to her car, a luxury SUV. She wasn't even able to drive hers away. Even with $8000 dollars worth of damage, and I was able not only to bring it home but drive it until we got through all of the insurance and police department B.S. so that they would pay it for us.
    I also own a Chevy Silverado, and comparing the recent incident in the Tahoe to when I was rear ended in my F-150 several years back, I feel much safer transporting my children in my Chevrolets, and will forever be a faithful customer.
