a USB port now graces the SUV's center console
because it does not fold flat, the third row would best be removed from the vehicle before a Costco run
unwieldy third-row seats
each section of the two-piece bench weighs 65 pounds—cough twice, please

Car and Driver
For those types, equipment in the base Tahoe LS has gotten even better for 2011. Bluetooth connectivity is now standard, as are rear audio controls with two headphone jacks, and floor console storage luggage rack rails, and premium front bucket seats are now also standard. A 40/20/40-split front bench remains optional. Other standard features carried over include an AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 player with USB input; cruise control; power windows, locks, and mirrors; a leather-wrapped steering wheel with wheel-mounted audio controls; and express-down windows.
LT and LTZ models add more features, with the top-of-the-line LTZ getting serious load-bearing upgrades like a heavy-duty locking differential, Autoride load-leveling suspension, and 20-inch wheels, in addition to an upgraded Bose Centerpoint audio system, a nav system with voice recognition, heated and cooled front seats, heated second-row seats, tri-zone climate control, remote starting, power-adjustable pedals, and additional power outlets.
The Tahoe Hybrid gets many of the same features as the LT, and can be equipped with LTZ features as options.
This is one vehicle in which you might actually want to spring for the power liftgate; the standard hatch is quite heavy to operate with one arm.
Conclusion
Don't think of the 2011 Tahoe as a work truck; Tahoe LTZ and Hybrid models, with their $50k+ price tags and long feature lists, qualify as full-fledged luxury vehicles.
