Chevrolet Tahoe - 2nd Gen (2000 to 2006)

The second generation of Chevrolet Tahoe was introduced for the 2000 model year, overlapping one year with the previous 1st Gen Tahoe. The previous 5.7L V8 engine was replaced by a smaller 5.3L V8 that produced the same power but slightly less torque. Other changes to the 2nd Gen Tahoe were a completely revised interior and an up-dated exterior design; new grill, mirrors, headlights and overall improved aerodynamics. In addition many safety features were introduced, like side-impact airbags were standard for driver and front passenger and OnStar communication was optional. The second generation Tahoe was in production up to 2006, replaced by the 3rd Gen Tahoe.
