2002 Chevy Tahoe review continued...
Z71 off-road package
Particularly adventurous Tahoe off-roaders will want
the 4-wheel-drive Tahoe Z71 model. Body-color components
– grille, bumper, door handles, roof rack (with
integral roller for easy loading) and mirror caps –
are new for 2002. Its specially tuned off-road suspension
uses specific shock absorbers and jounce jumpers with
standard stabilizer bars. A locking rear differential
and P265/70R-17 on/off road tires increase traction.
Skid plates protect vital underbody components, and
OnStar provides added security.
OnStar adds safety and security features such as automatic
air bag deployment notification and emergency assistance
with remote location. The Z71 adventure package includes
several other special features: specific Z71 badging,
a specific rocker treatment, machined cast aluminum
wheels, tubular assist steps, wheel flares with extensions
and front bucket seats. Four exterior colors are available:
Light Pewter Metallic, Onyx Black, Forest Green Metallic
and Summit White.
Convenience and safety
All vehicles (except Z71 model) offer an optional third-row
bench seat so Tahoe can carry as many as nine passengers.
The third-row rear seat features a unique 50/50 split-fold
design to provide a variety of cargo- and passenger-carrying
configurations. The seats can be flipped forward and
stowed for more cargo room, or they can be individually
and easily removed to provide a flat load surface. The
seats are light and easier to use than anything on the
market.
Safety features include four-wheel antilock brakes,
standard on all models, and OnStar – optional on
LS, standard on LT.
It continues to offer adventurers the safety and comfort
they want without sacrificing its reputation as an authentic
full-size sport utility vehicle.
