As we have always taken note of just how useful and multi-capable the Tahoe is here at West Chevy of Knoxville, this full-size SUV now has another important and life-saving duty to attend to: the 2021 Chevy Tahoe PPV is on target to handle police duties like a boss. Chevy has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with law enforcement to collect information and know which equipment, reinforcement, and technology features are required. The 2021 Chevy Tahoe PPV derives power from a 5.3-liter L84 EcoTec 3 small-block V8 that cranks out 355 horsepower.
The advanced technology in the Dynamic Fuel Management feature offers twelve different modes of cylinder deactivation designed to assure that the engine remains efficient even when adapting to the changing conditions of pursuit and rescue duties. Speaking of very high speeds, it also puts to use the high-performance rocker covers borrowed from the ZL1 LT4 engine from the Chevy Camaro, drastically improving crankcase ventilation. The ten-speed Hyrda-Matic 10L80 automatic transmission was developed as a dual partnership between Ford and GM. Since officers are bound to encounter situations that heavily tax the engine, dedicated cooling systems take care of making sure that temperatures of the transmission fluid and oil are kept cool enough to handle the pressure.
The challenges of police work also have a heavy toll on suspension, and this Tahoe PPV's suspension has seen modifications that added monotube dampers, coil springs, and stabilizer bars to assure that there is minimal body roll as well as preparing the driver to be able to execute different maneuvers. The standard Duralife brake rotors and calipers have been replaced with six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers and Brembo 16-inch rotors. For those taking a test-drive of the new Tahoe that only have civilian duties on their daily to-do list the Tahoe provides a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a standard Rear-Vision Camara, and the Rear Park Assist sensor suite that comes in handy when squeezing into tighter parking spots.
Forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and following distance indicator are other onboard technical safety features that help in the way of extra “eyes and ears” while in pursuit or high-traffic location. The alternator in the Tahoe PPV has been upgraded with one that is 47% more powerful, and a 760-amp battery was added to aid with the higher-power lighting equipment that law enforcement duties demand.
The longer wheelbase on the 2021 Tahoe greatly increases passenger comfort, and its towing and hauling abilities are similar to that of a full-size pickup. Its new independent rear suspension provides a much more composed ride and gives you greater stability during quick cornering. There is also an upgrade in the form of a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system mounted on top of the dash, and a wireless charging pad offered as standard works well in conjunction with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Premier trim provides numerous high-end extras for sprawled-out enjoyment including a 10-speaker Bose audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row bucket seats, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitor.
