That's more than sufficient power to get you to where you want to go, but for those needing a little extra kick, there's a 3.6L six-cylinder engine that offers a jaw-dropping 308 horsepower for incredible acceleration and agility, making it one of the most powerful crossovers on the road. Impressive Tech Features New innovative technology makes the Chevy Blazer feel like the ultimate in modern luxury.

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe is the best version of the popular Tahoe line so far. The line has always been a success, and that comes down to its excellent comfort and performance features that we know you'll love. more 1. Spacious Third Row Many competitor SUVs have third rows that are only spacious enough for kids, but that's not a problem you'll have in the Chevy Tahoe. The Chevy Tahoe has plenty of room in the third row for adults to sit comfortably. There are 35 inches for third-row passengers to stretch out in. That's much more space than some competitors offer. Having enough room to move your legs a little should help reduce the number of stops you have to take on your journey. Passengers won't feel as uncomfortable as they would in a smaller space, so be feel relaxed and cozy for longer while taking long trips in the SUV. 2. Applaudable Towing Abilities The Chevy Tahoe has superior towing abilities to other vehicles in this class. If you equip your Chevy Tahoe with the right package, then you can haul up to 8,400 pounds. This towing capacity can rival some mid-size pickup trucks, and it beats some similarly-sized SUVs by several thousand pounds. If you tow often, then it's worth looking into the Max Trailering Package so you can use that 8,400-pound towing capacity. 4. Spacious Cargo Area The Chevy Tahoe comes with 25 cubic feet of cargo space. This is plenty of room for your everyday tasks, but sometimes you need a little extra space to transport your gear. The Chevy Tahoe can meet all of your needs, so you can fold down the third row when you need more room. This expands the cargo area to a much larger 72 cubic feet. If 72 cubic feet is still not enough for your larger loads, then you can fold down the second-row seating, too. You have almost 123 cubic feet of cargo space when you have both the second and third-row seats folded flat. 4. Minimal Road Noise Road noise can easily get on your nerves. Thankfully, the Chevy Tahoe is excellent at keeping your cabin quiet. The SUV's windows and windshields are made of acoustic laminated glass, and that stops unwanted road and wind noise from being audible in the cabin. This makes your journey feel far more comfortable and relaxed, and it's especially useful for traveling with young children who need to nap on journeys. 5. Standard Emergency Braking Not all vehicles come with standard safety features, but every Chevy Tahoe trim comes with automatic emergency braking. Emergency braking is incredibly useful for every driver. Unfortunately, sometimes drivers stop unexpectedly, and that can lead to an accident far too easily. This is where the Chevy Tahoe's emergency braking comes in. It adds an extra layer of protection to your journey, so you can be sure that you're safe at all times while you're driving. It's incredibly comforting to know that you've got additional protection against potential accidents. Come and see us at Friendly Chevrolet if you'd like to see the Chevy Tahoe in person. We're sure that you'll fall in love with this spacious SUV.

Both the 2.5-liter and 2.8-liter turbodiesel engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6-liter V6 engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The V6 has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,000 pounds. The diesel engine has an increased towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. Purchasing the available Trailering Equipment package will maximize the towing capabilities on any configuration. The Colorado is designed to haul large trailers, so Chevy has equipped every model with the innovative trailer-sway control feature at no extra charge to buyers. Well-designed Interior The 2021 Colorado has incredibly spacious and comfortable seats throughout the cabin. The large amount of storage space in addition to the truck bed is especially welcome, as the redesigned, deep center console bin is large enough to keep all of your front seat essentials concealed. There is also additional storage in the large compartment expertly placed beneath the rear seating to further secure valuables. Advanced Infotainment Its superior infotainment system is one of the 2021 Colorado's most popular features. The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment control console comes standard.

Buying a new car can be a time-consuming process. Apart from deciding which car you want, you need to arrange financing, register the vehicle, sign the purchasing agreement, and pay for the vehicle. However, making sure that you have the correct documents before you go to the dealership can save you time and hassle. Discover four of the essential documents you'll need for your new car purchase. more 1. Driver's License When you're buying a new car, you'll want to test drive it first. The dealer will need to know that you are legally registered to drive. Your driver's license also provides an additional source of identification for your check or another form of payment. Of course, once you've completed the purchase, you can drive your shiny new car off the lot. 2. Proof of Insurance To drive your new car off the lot, you'll need to prove that you have insurance for the vehicle. Contact your insurance company and inform your agent about what vehicle you're planning to buy before heading to the dealership. The insurance agent can let you know whether your insurance premium might change based on the vehicle you decide to purchase. Your insurance company can issue a temporary card and update your policy with the new details. 3. Title for Your Trade-In Vehicle If you are trading in your old car, you will need proof that you own it. The car title proves that you are the owner of the vehicle. If you have a co-signatory or a lien against the title, you will need to get the required signatures in advance. If any errors exist concerning how the title is signed, the dealer may not accept it. Your state's department of motor vehicles could also reject the title. If you're not clear about the correct procedure, call the dealership's finance department and ask for assistance. You can check the motor vehicle registry website for your state for information about where to sign the title. 4. Your Payment for the Vehicle Your new car purchase is going nowhere without a means of payment in place. If the dealer is arranging the financing, you can make your down payment with a personal check, a cashier's check, or a credit card. Before you visit the dealership, confirm the forms of payment the dealer will accept to avoid any holdup. Get preapproved financing, even if you intend to finance the vehicle at the dealership. If you're getting financing through the dealership, what items you need to bring might vary depending upon your credit score. If you have a strong credit rating, the items listed above should be all you need to complete the purchase. If you've arranged outside financing and are not using the dealership for financing, you should bring all the information related to your loan. When you have a preapproved outside loan, you can pay with a check from the bank or credit union providing the financing. When you're buying a new Chevy, your local Chevrolet dealership makes the process as quick and easy as possible. Additionally, having the correct paperwork will allow the transaction to go smoothly.
