If you’re searching for a Chevy Tahoe for sale, we here at Executive Chevrolet are ready to help connect you with your next car. You may be considering other SUV options like the Ford Explorer, so we’re here to help you compare these two vehicles to make the right decision for you. The Chevy Tahoe is an excellent SUV that combines power and capability to make for a superior driving experience.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the Chevy Tahoe outshines the Ford Explorer. The Chevy Tahoe has an impressive 6.2 L EcoTec3 V8 engine with up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft torque. The SUV has sharp handling thanks to the 10-speed automatic transmission, making it ready for all of life’s adventures.
The Ford Explorer also comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission, but its engine is a bit less powerful than the Chevy Tahoe. The Ford Explorer has an available 3.0 L EcoBoost engine that reaches up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft torque.
The lower horsepower and torque of the Ford Explorer affect driving performance and towing capability, making the Chevy Tahoe a better pick in terms of engine performance.
