2002 Chevy Tahoe reviews and buying
guide.
2002 Chevy Tahoe
The 2002 Chevy Tahoe retains its reputation as an authentic
sport utility vehicle, while enhancing the conveniences
on its popular Chevy Tahoe LS trim, adding ethanol-content
fuel capability and refining exterior appearance, ride
and comfort.
New for the 2002 Chevy Tahoe
Due to a high volume of customer orders, standard LS
trim now includes comfortable six-way power driver and
passenger seats; heated, outside rearview mirrors with
self-dimming driver-side; side-mounted assist steps;
electric rear-window defogger; fog lamps; and HomeLink
Universal transmitter. (Homelink enables programming
of three separate electronic home functions, such as
garage doors, gates and exterior house lights.)
"Tahoe is always being refined, but always remains
true to its mission as a genuine sport utility vehicle,"
said Tahoe brand manager Steve Ramsey.
For example, Tahoe’s Vortec 5300 V8 engine is
capable of handling both regular and 85 percent ethanol-content
fuel, and electronic climate control is now available
with a sunroof. LT models ordered in the Redfire Metallic
exterior color for the new model year will be equipped
with body-color components, including the front bumper,
bodyside moldings and wheel flares.
Tahoe 2WD and 4WD models come in two trim levels: LS
and LT; the base trim has been discontinued.
Added traction
All models continue to feature the dependable truck
chassis with a premium ride. Chevy also offers its Autoride
system (LT only), which automatically controls shock
damping on a continuous, real-time basis to smooth bumps
in the road. Because Tahoe owners lead active lifestyles
that sometimes require a vehicle with extra traction,
the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system offers four drive
modes plus neutral to suit nearly any type of driving
condition.
Its Electronic Traction Assist system for two-wheel-drive
models delivers more controlled acceleration and stability
over most slippery surfaces.
Either the Vortec 4800 V8 or the Vortec 5300 V8 engine
power the Tahoe, and both engines are compliant with
Low Emission Vehicle Standards.
