While unveiling the redesigned 2000 model, Chevy Tahoe conveys a message that big vehicle can be better without being bulky. Tahoe comes with a 4.8-liter, 275 horsepower and 5.3-liter that generate 285 horsepower V-8 engine. This engine shows off more output with 4 percent improved mileage. For the first time, Tahoe offers plenty of features including sunroofs and one-piece hatch lids. It also offers swing-out doors. Also new for 2000 is an optional third seat. The vehicle's suspension is designed to give a car-like ride and handling. An optional Autoride or Premium ride suspensions are available to maximize vehicle maneuverability and ride comfort especially under different load situations.

 

To keep the stance level in any roadway or load conditions, both the Autoride or Premium ride suspensions limit vehicle motion by automatically switching shock settings at the rear wheels. These systems harden suspension settings to even out the ride. Autoride uses air-leveling rear shocks while Premium Ride utilizes normal vehicle motion to automatically pump up and adjust the shock settings. 2000 Chevy Tahoe also comes with standard and easy to use Autotrac four-wheel drive together with a standard speed-sensitive power steering. The 2WD Tahoe has an electronic traction assist that controls throttle and transmission shift points to prevent the vehicle from slipping. Additional options for Chevy Tahoe include OnStar emergency communications, side-impact air bags and large outside mirrors coupled with puddle lamps. Running boards and four-wheel ABS comes standard.
