The all-new, fifth-generationChevrolet Tahoe will launch for the 2021 model year, not the 2020 model year as we had originally believed. That means that the current, fourth-generation model gets to live for another (final) model year as the 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, all while receiving a few minor changes and updates. Let’s review what’s new and different about the 2020 Tahoe.
There are no changes to the model line or the mechanical side of the full-size SUV. Meanwhile, the changes to the exterior are limited to the deletion of the Pepperdust Metallic color as well as new finishes for the following wheels:
22-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels with custom silver accents (SGK)
22-inch Bright machined aluminum wheels with Bright Silver finish (SIY)
The Pepperdust Metallic color is deleted for the 2020 Tahoe
Similarly, the 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe doesn’t bring any changes or updates to the interior. The two remaining changes impact two optional packages, as the full-size SUV deletes the All-Season Package and the LT Signature Package. Here’s what each of those now-deleted packages contained:
All-Season Package, which was available only on the LS model and included:
20″ x 9″ polished aluminum wheels
P275/55R20 all-season blackwall tires
Body-color bodyside moldings
Black roof rack cross rails
Max Trailering Package
All-weather floor mats
All-weather rear cargo mat
LT Signature Package, which was available only on the LT model and included:
20″ x 9″ chrome wheels
P275/55R20 all-season blackwall tires
Bright bodyside moldings
Grille insert
Polished exhaust tip
Chrome recovery hooks
Chrome assist step kit
And that rounds out the changes to the 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe. If you were paying close attention, then you may have noticed that these changes are identical to those of the Tahoe’s extended-length twin, the 2020 Chevy Suburban.
We expect the 2020 Tahoe to drop in the third quarter of the 2019 calendar year. It will likely have a shortened production run as the all-new,2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is expected to launch in the first half of the 2020 calendar year.
TheGM Arlington plant where the Tahoe is assembled alongside other full-size GM SUVs was recently re-tooled to produce the all-new, future Tahoe based on theT1 platform.
