The Chevrolet Tahoe LT for 2000: Improving on 1999
Shoppers who buy a Chevrolet Tahoe are often happy with purchase. For over a decade, the Tahoe has been one of the leaders of the Chevrolet brand. This has always been a meaningful truck, and the 2000 model is no different. A sport utility for everyone in the household is what the Chevrolet Tahoe delivers.
Performance
Chevrolet Tahoe Engine Specs: The Tahoe LT comes outfitted with a Vortec 4.8 liter, 8-cylinder motor that uses 16 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a General Motors 4-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.
The fuel system for the 2000 Tahoe is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 26.00 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The Tahoe has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and coil in the rear.
Tahoe LT Statistics
The Tahoe is 198.90 inches long, 78.90 inches wide, and 74.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 116.00 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,929 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $21,813. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sport Utility.
The standard warranty period for the Tahoe is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the sport utility market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
Fuel Efficiency
The Tahoe LT received a miles-per-gallon rating of fourteen in-city driving and eighteen when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.
