2003 Chevy Tahoe
The Chevy Tahoe was America's number one selling full-size
SUV, and the 2003 version simply provides further evidence
why. The Tahoe can pretty much do anything, and it does
so in a comfortable style that makes it irresistible
to those in the market for a dependable full-size SUV.
Not only is the Tahoe a rugged vehicle capable of powering
through heavy terrain, it can also provide maximum seating
for the largest of families. With an optional third
row seat (which can be flipped down or stowed for increased
cargo space), the Tahoe has the ability to seat nine
passengers. The 2003 Tahoe comes in either a base LS
model or an LT model, which offers a larger standard
engine and more standard equipment. With many different
options packages available, either Tahoe model is able
to satisfy the most discriminating of tastes.
Under the Hood
The standard engine on the base LS model is a 4.8-liter
V8 with 275 horsepower. The LT model offers a larger
5.3-liter V8 boasting 285 horsepower. All Tahoe models
have 2WD and 4WD configurations available. 4-speed automatic
transmission takes care of the shifting.
Both the LS and LT have four-wheel disc, four-wheel
antilock brakes, with dual piston calipers with Dynamic
Rear Proportioning. The advanced passenger-sensing system,
part of the dual-level airbags provided, monitors the
size of the passenger and deactivates the airbag for
children, so as to prevent unnecessary injury. Additional
child safety can be found with the standard LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children) child-seat system..
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The LS model of the 2003 Tahoe offers many convenience
features, while the LT model naturally provides a few
extra luxury items. Taken together, the Tahoe ensures
that comfort will be an essential adjective used in
its description.
Owners of the LS model can upgrade their engine to
the 5.3-liter V8 that comes standard with the LT. With
this engine, the enhanced StabiliTrak system is also
offered, providing greater vehicle stability. There
are many gadgets and entertainment options that can
be added as well to add to the ride. In addition, packages
like the Tahoe Z71 model, with its specially tuned off-road
suspension, specific shock absorbers and jounce jumpers
with standard stabilizer bars are available for the
off-road enthusiast.
With all its versatility, it isn't hard to see why
the Chevy Tahoe is so popular. Adding upgrades and options,
the 2003 model aims to keep it that way.
