CHEVROLET TAHOE: LEADER AMONG FULL-SIZE
SUVS
Chevy Tahoe
enters 2005 with several notable refinements and upgrades designed
to further solidify its position as North America’s best-selling
full-size SUV because of its premium appointments, refined ride
and handling, and outstanding levels of safety and capability.
GM’s
OnStar safety and security system is standard in all equipment
groups for 2005. All Tahoes also have a rear liftgate with lift-up
glass and side-sill assist steps have been redesigned for improved
aerodynamics and durability.
Additional
functional changes include a more powerful standard alternator
– 160 amps versus 145 – as well as new standard and
optional rear axle ratios for both two- and four-wheel-drive models.
Tahoe’s tire pressure monitoring system has been revised
to identify the specific tire, replacing the general alert system
(does not include spare).
Notable equipment
group revisions for 2005 include the availability of two-wheel
drive on the Z71 off-road performance package; a new optional
stereo system with a touch-screen navigation system; and 17-inch,
five-spoke aluminum wheels now included as part of the uplevel
LT package.
Two new exterior
colors are offered for both Tahoe LS and LT: Sandstone Metallic
and Bermuda Blue Metallic.
Powertrains
Tahoe’s
powertrain lineup includes GM’s Vortec 4800 4.8L V-8 as
standard, rated at 285 horsepower (213 kw) and 295 lb.-ft. (400
Nm) of torque. Owners seeking even more power and capability can
choose the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8, which generates 295 horsepower
(220 kw) and 330 lb.-ft. (447 Nm) of torque. GM’s Hydra-Matic
4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission is standard with both
engines. Tahoe can tow up to 7,700 pounds (3,493 kg) when properly
equipped.
Improved
fuel economy
The 2005 Tahoe
extends its fuel economy leadership with four major enhancements
that lead to a nearly one mpg fuel economy improvement.
The 2005 Suburban
features an all-electric cooling system (compared to fan and fan
clutch on 2004 models). The all-electric cooling system consists
of two 200-watt electric fan packages and an improved-dissipation
radiator. The new cooling system provides a number of advantages:
-
A reduction
in parasitic losses due to disengaged fan speed with a corresponding
increase in combined city/highway fuel economy
-
A significant
improvement in idle A/C performance (driver/passenger comfort)
as well as an ability to idle with A/C on for extended periods
in very high ambient temperatures
-
A reduction
in customer complaints normally attributed to unusual engine
noise or transmission noise/delayed shift, which are actually
fan noise issues
A new voltage
control system monitors the battery’s charge status and
controls the vehicle’s generator to minimize parasitic voltage
loss.
Aerodynamic
changes also were made to improve fuel economy. For example, tow
hook and foglamp openings are now sealed when those items are
not ordered on the vehicle. The center hole in the front air deflector
also is sealed; an extension was added to the front air deflector;
and the aerodynamics for the running boards were improved.
Roomy,
flexible interior
In addition
to its powerful V-8 engines, Tahoe can be instantly reconfigured
for any combination of passenger and cargo-carrying ability. Almost
105 cubic feet (2,962L) of cargo space is created when the second
row seats are folded forward, creating a flat load floor. An optional
third-row bench seat gives Tahoe room for up to nine passengers.
Second-row seats provide easy access to the third row. The third-row
rear seat has a 50/50 split-fold design to provide a variety of
cargo/passenger configurations. The seats can be flipped forward
and stowed for more cargo room, or individually and easily removed
to create a flat load surface.
Besides a
high degree of versatility, every Tahoe has an extensive list
of cabin comforts, such as power windows with driver express-down,
power door locks, cruise control, tilt-adjustable steering wheel,
multi-lingual driver information center, temperature and compass
displays integrated into the rearview mirror, and deep-tint glass
aft of the B-pillar.
A tri-zone,
manually controlled heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) system is standard, enabling the driver and front passenger
to adjust the temperature to their individual comfort levels –
up to a 30-degree Fahrenheit (13.9-degree Celsius) difference
between the two front zones. Manual rear air conditioning is also
standard.
An available
tri-zone automatic HVAC system provides outstanding comfort. Rear
electronic climate control is standard with the optional front
system, providing second-row passengers with an automatically
controlled temperature setting independent from the two front
occupants, creating true tri-zone comfort.
Available
exterior mirrors feature power-tilt glass and power folding to
protect them in narrow spaces; heating elements that clear frost,
snow or ice; left-side electrochromatic glass that automatically
dims headlight glare; puddle lights; turn-signal indicators in
the glass; and a memory feature. An available power-adjustable
camper mirror can be extended to a vehicle width of as much as
106 inches (2,692 mm). Power-adjustable brake and accelerator
pedals are standard on LT and Z71 models, and optional on LS versions.
Safety
and security
Tahoe has
a full complement of safety and security features, starting with
dual-stage frontal air bags for supplemental protection for front-seat
passengers. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce
the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system’s
control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash
is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary
amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will
deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection
of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in
more severe frontal collisions.
The Tahoe
also has GM’s Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the
latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag
on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger
seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger
air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not
deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator
on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air
bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends
to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed
in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing
infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends
that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible.
Other standard
safety and security features include the LATCH (Lower Anchors
and Tethers for CHildren) child-seat attachment system in the
rear seats, and GM’s PASSlock II theft deterrent system.
The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor
to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure.
These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install
compatible child safety seats.
Also standard
are four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Hydroboost, a feature
that provides more reserve power assist for braking under specific
conditions. The system continues to provide sufficient power assist
to stop the vehicle if the engine stalls or is turned off, by
using power steering fluid pressure to decrease brake pedal effort.
Tahoe’s
available safety and stability features include driver and front-passenger
side air bags, traction assist on 2WD models, and GM’s StabiliTrak
electronic stability control system standard on all models equipped
with the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 engine.
StabiliTrak
helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers, particularly
in low traction conditions, in emergency lane changes and during
avoidance maneuvers.
StabiliTrak
assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver’s intended
path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent
of the driver’s use of the brake pedal.
StabiliTrak
uses an accelerator pedal position sensor, a brake master cylinder
pressure sensor and a steering wheel angle sensor as inputs to
interpret the driver’s desired path and whether to accelerate
or decelerate the vehicle. StabiliTrak also uses these sensors
plus a lateral accelerometer and yaw rate sensor to determine
the vehicle’s actual path.
If the difference
between the driver’s desired path and the vehicle’s
actual path becomes great enough, StabiliTrak takes appropriate
action to assist the driver with maintaining the desired path.
If the vehicle begins to “snowplow,” or understeer,
StabiliTrak applies the inside rear brake to help turn the vehicle.
If the vehicle begins to fishtail, or oversteer, StabiliTrak applies
the outside front brake to straighten the vehicle. StabiliTrak
is integrated with the traction control and ABS systems.
StabiliTrak
helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers or low traction
conditions. If the system determines that the vehicle is not responding
appropriately to the driver's steering, StabliTrak precisely reduces
engine torque and applies precise amounts of pressure to the individual
front brakes to slow the vehicle and help bring it back to its
intended path.
Wide choice
of entertainment systems
Impressive
entertainment systems – from an available Bose sound system
to a Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System – add
to Tahoe’s comforts, especially on longer journeys. These
systems (except the base fleet radio) feature the next-generation
Radio Data System and can interface with services such as the
optional XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only). Available
rear-seat audio controls allow second-row passengers to enjoy
a separate audio source from front-seat occupants. An available
custom-designed Bose audio system uses a high-powered six-channel
amplifier and an eight-speaker sound system with sub-woofer.
XM Satellite
Radio provides more than 120 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels
of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and
talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select
major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to
the basic service for $9.99 a month. In addition, GM customers
with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription
in their car payments.
OnStar-equipped
Tahoes feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and
analog coverage. OnStar’s Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded
hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive
continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy.
OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security
and information services in the United States and Canada. Using
the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features
core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers
to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using
a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna
for greater reception.
