Chevrolet Tahoe
The Chevrolet Tahoe (and similar GMC Yukon) is a full-size SUV from General Motors. Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their Blazer and Jimmy model names through the early 1990s. This situation changed when GMC rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the Yukon in 1992. Chevrolet waited until 1995's introduction of a four-door version to rebadge the compact S-10 Blazer as the Blazer, renaming the full-size Blazer as the Tahoe.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon currently serve as General Motors' Full-size SUV. Lengthened wheelbase models are available for both as the Suburban for the Tahoe and Yukon XL for the Yukon. A luxury denali model joined the Yukon line-up is 1998. As of 2002 a Denali version of the Yukon XL was alos available as the Yukon Denali XL.
In the United States, the Tahoe is a popular alternative to the Ford Crown Victoria for police car use, especially in rural areas.
