2021 Chevy Tahoe What’s New versus 2020

Body-on-frame SUVs are a dying breed, but GM’s truck-based family of utility vehicles are damn near everywhere on the roads. For good reason, too; their primitive underpinnings provide for some major capability, whether it’s hauling people or horse trailers or whatever. But ubiquity doesn’t mean perfection, and resting on one’s laurels for too long never turns out well. For 2021, the Chevrolet Tahoe and its SuburbanGMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade siblings pick up some major refinements that add some yachting flavor to these boats.

2021 Chevy Tahoe When the latest generation of GM’s pickup trucks came out, the response was… a smidge tepid. The exterior was on the Seinfeld side of breathtaking, and the interiors felt stagnant, with too few changes over the previous generation. The 2021 Tahoe, by comparison, just gelsChevy‘s corporate front end front end looks far more imposing on the Tahoe, and a few strong character lines break up some of the slab-sided look that comes with an SUV this big.

And yes, this thing is massive. The Tahoe’s new body is about 7 inches longer than before, with a wheelbase extension not far behind. The result is an absolute boatload (groan) of cargo capacity and interior space. Cargo space is up 66% behind the third row to 25.5 cubic feet, thanks in part to a load floor that’s nearly half a foot lower, but it’s not like that space comes at the expense of passenger comfort. Those in the way, way backs get an extra 10 inches of legroom, something my 6-foot frame immediately appreciates. I’ve lived in smaller studio apartments. The first and second row are precisely as voluminous as you think, too.

So where did all this extra space come from? The answer is three letters that would give any “creative” accountant pause: IRS. To further differentiate the big-boy SUVs from their truck siblings, General Motors swapped out the ol’ stick axle in favor of an independent rear suspension. Not only does this offer up all manner of space, it vastly improves the ride quality.

Make no mistake, you won’t forget that there’s a truck hiding under this boxy shell. Some of the traditional body-on-frame judder is present over more severe bumps, but by and large, the ride quality falls within the positive definition of nautical. My High Country tester comes standard with GM’s excellent Magnetic Ride Control magnetorheological suspension, but it’s enhanced further with a $1,000 adaptive air suspension that is absolutely worth the cost of entry. Both low- and high-speed cruising take place in a cushioned, comfortable state that eats up road nastiness. It’s the most luxurious GM’s full-size SUVs have ever felt — as my tester damn well should, given its shocking as-tested price of $81,845.

he rest of the Tahoe’s underpinnings also stress smoothness. The High Country’s engine is the largest offered on Tahoe, a 6.2-liter V8 churning out 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, with an exhaust note that’s more than a little Corvette-inspired, especially at full clip. That eight-pot works well in conjunction with its 10-speed automatic transmission, hopping through the gears with ease. The pedal modulation is dead simple, making for smooth starts and stops. Of course, a lump this big tends to be thirsty, and the EPA’s estimates of 14 miles per gallon city and 19 mpg highway reflect that.

That stuff is all well and good, but the biggest and best improvements in the 2021 Chevy Tahoe are found inside. Further separating itself from its trucky family, the Tahoe’s interior is much closer to a passenger car, with a modern “floating” infotainment screen and a dashboard design that is actually interesting for a change. The High Country trim errs on the luxurious side (and at $72,000 to start, it’d better), with soft leather just about everywhere. The push-button transmission controls on the dash face take some getting used to, but as far as child’s-toy-lookin’ toggles go, these are king of the hill. There’s still a whole bunch o’ switches, something GM will probably struggle with until the heat death of the universe, but they’re put in sensible places and are legible at a glance.

As you might expect, there are ten trillion places to store your junk in the Tahoe. The door pockets have multiple layers to better separate items, and while my tester’s under-armrest cubby feels shallow, that’s actually not a bad thing. For $350, you can option an electric sliding center console, which slides aft to give the second row better access to this storage space. Sliding the console back also reveals a hidden compartment that will be an excellent place to store one’s valuables. I don’t generally get smitten with gimmicks, but this one is pretty sweet, and you can have it for a song. If I don’t need the third-row seats, I can fold them flat using the buttons overhead, a nice touch.

GM’s vehicles already come with a solid complement of dashboard tech, and the Tahoe is no exception. My tester’s center screen measures 10 inches and runs the automaker’s latest infotainment system, which is quick to respond and laid out well. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are on offer, and all trims except the base LS get a standard Qi induction charger. It’s not like there aren’t ports in here, though; the front row gets two USB outlets (one USB-A, one USB-C), and the second and third rows each carry dual USB-Cs. Short of a barbiturate dispenser, access to device chargers is probably the best in-car addition to keep the kids quiet on long trips to the lake house.

For whatever reason, Big Bowtie has generally been pretty stingy with its safety systems, but the Tahoe packs a number of standard driver-assistance aids, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, parking sensors and a suitably high-def backup camera. A $3,355 Technology Package bolsters that with adaptive cruise control and a radar-based automatic braking upgrade. Up to nine cameras can cover just about every angle of the Tahoe, and a top-down view on the infotainment screen is basically necessary when trying to park something the size of an office building.

How do you make a truck better than a truck? By putting a whole lot more into it than usual. The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has almost completely separated itself from its roots with the addition of key upgrades like an independent rear suspension and a well-thought-out interior. Those with large families or the need for more capaciousness than most walk-in closets will not be let down with this latest generation of full-size SUVs, which is now fully positioned as a 21st-century hauler.

1977 Chevy Van

Custom 1977 Chevy Van Is Part Cruiser, Part Cocktail Lounge

Hop Cap was a well-known purveyor of customized conversion vans that operated out of Bremen, Indiana in the 1970s. These vans featured all the custom add-ons that other 1970s conversion vans did, such as detailed airbrushed murals, fender flares,  chrome trim, a rear bubble window and shag carpet, but some went a little bit further than others with interiors that looked more like a bar lounge than a van.

This 1977 Chevy van built by Hop Cap is a perfect example of how the company would go above and beyond for customers that requested it. The exterior of this funky 1970s van is straightforward enough with its metallic blue paint, chrome Cragar wheels, railroad mural and bubble window – but the interior is what truly sets it apart.

Inside this Chevy van is a hardwood mantle/bar with cabinets, a sink and a mini-fridge, which is joined by a u-shaped couch with blue vinyl upholstery, blue window curtains, shag carpet trim and hardwood flooring. As such, the interior of this van looks like some sort of 1970s cocktail lounge. The metal lion insignias on the backsplash of the bar area, along with the two small lamps on either side of the couch, help give this rolling lounge a bit more ambiance as well. The treatment continues in the driver’s cabin with a woodgrain steering wheel, crushed velvet seats, custom wooden cupholders and more shag carpet trim.

Mechanically speaking, this 1977 Chevy van features a 350 cubic-inch V8, along with a three-speed automatic transmission. It has 122,087 miles on the odometer, so it’s been well enjoyed over the past 43 years or so. This custom van may be cool, but it doesn’t come cheap. The dealership that owns it, Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, is asking $70,995 for the opportunity to take it home – a huge sum for a custom Chevrolet van with rather high mileage if you ask us. Check out the listing at this link and the walkaround video embedded below for some more information on this funky 1970s party van.

Cruisin’ the USA in your Chevrolet virtual celebration

Chevrolet Is Hosting A Week Long Online Car Enthusiast Celebration

Chevrolet plans to host an online car enthusiast event later this month on its various social media pages that will celebrate some of the most beloved Chevy vehicles from the automaker’s past.

If you are looking for a new or pre-owned Chevrolet, visit Ron Westphal Chevrolet online or in person today.

 

“Chevrolet is reimagining summer car cruising through a week-long virtual festival – Cruisin’ the USA in your Chevrolet – that celebrates more than a century of the brand’s automotive history,” the automaker said in a statement. “Hosted on Chevy’s social media channels from August 10-16, the event is designed to take viewers back in time to experience the brand’s rich heritage of innovation, design and passion.”

This celebration is intended as a sort of unofficial replacement for the Woodward Dream Cruise, which was previously set to be held this month but was later canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Just like Dream Cruise, the online event will offer something for Chevy fans of all types, with each day incorporating a different theme.

The event will kick off by looking at back at the Chevrolet brand’s inception in 1911, with the automaker preparing to release archival videos from the last 109 years “showcasing Chevy’s memorable feats,” it said in a statement. The automaker will then move through the different eras and explore new themes each day of the celebration.

Additionally, each day will feature commentary and analysis from various Chevrolet experts, who will provide “in-depth looks at some of the brand’s most iconic vehicles housed at the General Motors Heritage Center and even share their own custom Chevy builds.”

The schedule of events for the “Cruisin the USA in your Chevrolet” online event is as follows:

  • August 10: The Origins and Innovations of Chevrolet
  • August 11: Chevy’s Most Iconic Designs
  • August 12: The Proud Truck Tradition
  • August 13: The Peak of Performance
  • August 14: Team Chevy – A Culture of Winning
  • August 15: Chevy’s Heritage – A Fan Celebration
  • August 16: Race Day – Cheering on Team Chevy at NASCAR and the NHRA Nationals

Corvette C6.R in traditional Velocity Yellow paint scheme

Chevrolet fans who want to participate in the event should follow the brand’s TwitterInstagram and Pinterest pages, along with the Team Chevy motorsports twitter account, before the virtual festivities kick off next week.

One 1 Hugger Orange COPO Camaro made and it goes to auction

The 2020 COPO Camaro was offered with an optional 1969 Heritage Package from the factory, which unlocked the ability to order the car in a number of different exterior colors from the 1969 model year Camaro’s color palette. These yesteryear colors included Garnett Red, Butternut Yellow, Fathom Green, Azure Turquoise, Olympic Gold, Frosty Green and our personal favorite, Hugger Orange.

With General Motors only building 69 examples of the 2020 COPO Camaro, and with six other exterior color options available, it was inevitable that some of these Heritage colors would be ordered in very low numbers this year. It turns out that only one person ordered their 2020 COPO Camaro in Hugger Orange, and now the exceedingly rare, factory-built dragster is heading to the auction block.

Not only is this the world’s only 2020 COPO Camaro finished in Hugger Orange, it was also ordered with the optional supercharged 350 cu. in. V8 engine. The COPO Camaro comes standard with a naturally aspirated 427 cubic inch V8 producing an NHRA-rated 470 horsepower, but for$12,500 extra, buyers can get a 350 V8 with a 2.65L Magnuson supercharger. Supercharged models also come standard with a parachute.

In addition to the heritage exterior colors, the 1969 Heritage Package also includes vinyl stripes on the hood and decklid, black Chevrolet bowties, COPO embroidered seatbacks, darkened taillights, clear front and rear side marker lamps and Weld Racing wheels with a satin black finish.

The 2020 COPO Camaro was already a bit special, with GM using it to honor both the legacy of John Force and the legacy of the 1969 model year Camaro, but this ups the ante with both the 1969 Heritage Package and the optional supercharged 350 cu. in. V8. This is pretty much the epitome of collectible modern-day Camaros, but what will it sell for when it heads to auction at Mecum’s Kissimmee sale later this month? We can’t wait to find out.
