If you have a number of children, tow a boat or horse trailer and like the feel of a substantial V8-powered vehicle, the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe could be just the ticket. Another plus: The Tahoe’s powerful V8 engines offer Active Fuel Management technology and many are E85-ready.
Our one quibble with the Tahoe is the necessity to remove and store the third-row seats to gain maximum cargo room. But the new seats are easier to handle and come in two- and three-passenger configurations.
