The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe full-size SUV is a truck-based behemoth with plenty of room for hauling people and cargo, and plenty of tow capacity as well. The Tahoe’s stout truck-based frame and muscular engines-a choice of two V-8s and a diesel inline-six-make it a prime tow vehicle. There’s a Z71 model that’s well-equipped to tackle off-road trails as well. Inside, the Tahoe’s three rows can seat up to eight, and the interior can be ordered relatively spartan or nearly lavish. None of its trims, though, are quite as fancy as those in its mechanical siblings-the GMC Yukon Denali or the ritzy Cadillac Escalade.
A large infotainment display dominates the dashboard and is angled slightly toward the driver; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included. Rival SUVs such as the Ford Expedition, the Jeep Wagoneer, and the Nissan Armada offer similar packages, but the Chevy’s superior on-road refinement is a bonus that we appreciate and suspect other drivers will too. And if the Tahoe isn’t large enough for you, there’s its long-wheelbase sister ship, the Suburban, ready and waiting to haul more of everything.
The Tahoe receives a mild styling refresh for 2025 as well as a revised dashboard with a newly standard 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster. The Chevy’s V-8 engine offerings remain the same as last year, but the optional diesel inline-six sees a power boost to 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque, increases of 38 horses and 35 pound-feet. Several new towing aids have been added to assist the driver, including one that monitors the trailer’s tire health.
