Encyclopedia > GMC Yukon

The Chevrolet Tahoe (and similar GMC Yukon) is a full-size SUV from General Motors. When the S-10 Blazer was rebadged as the Blazer for 1995, the full-size Blazer was rebadged as the Tahoe (this has occured where GMC rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the Yukon in 1992 right after its compact sibling shared the same nameplate). It is shorter than the Chevrolet Suburban on which it is based, but shares that vehicle's platform.


The Tahoe/Yukon models had either a two-door (1998 for GMCs, 1999 for Chevrolet) or a four-door option.


The GMC Yukon Denali is an alternative top trim line to the Yukon, appeared around 1997-1998 and it is marketed at the prospective high-end buyer (which was prior to and provided the basis for the Cadillac Escalade introduced in 1999.)


In the United States, the Tahoe is a popular alternative to the Ford Crown Victoria for police car use, especially in rural areas.


In 2007, General Motors is expected to introduce a hybrid version of the Tahoe which uses the shared GM/DaimlerChrysler Advanced Hybrid System 2.
