TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe lineup grows in all the right ways for 2018.

The 2018 Ford Expedition is the new benchmark for full-size SUVs.

TCC Likes

Strong V-8s
Wide range of options and trims
Terrific infotainment

Acres of room
Freight-train-like acceleration
Good third-row space in EL model

TCC Dislikes

Traditional feel
No diesel or hybrid
Perhaps too big

You’ll notice its size in parking lots
Sync3 still isn’t all that great
Gets expensive quickly
