TCC’s Bottom Line

The rugged, honest Chevy Tahoe doesn't exactly lack for luxury, but it's a more pragmatic choice for those who don't really need the luxury layers applied to Yukons, Escalades, or GLs.

The 2014 Nissan Armada has grown old in a segment that has improved its technology, safety, features and fuel economy.

TCC Likes

Strong for towing and hauling
Still good-looking
Lots of room for people and cargo

Willing acceleration
Seating position
Ability to tow 9,000 pounds

TCC Dislikes

Third-row seat isn't easy to access, or roomy
Fold-down seats don't fold away
Gas mileage is low

High ingress/egress
Poor handling
Occasional cheap plastic interior pieces
