The standard Chevy Tahoe has some also-ran competition from the likes of the Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia.
Both are a bit larger than the Tahoe and could rightfully be compared with the larger Chevrolet Suburban.
They're also less appealingly styled than the Chevy.
The true competition for the gas-powered Tahoe is the handsome, capable Ford Expedition.
For hybrids, GM pits its Tahoe Hybrid against its own Yukon Hybrid-but you might also shop the diesel-equipped Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC, which has fantastic torque and very quiet clean-diesel operation.
