The manager of the local Enterprise rent a car and I are on first name basis, because I'm that guy who calls them up a few times a year and says "I need a Tahoe for a week."
Then, I hear a sigh on the line, as they start to say their corporate approved, (this call may be monitored) dialogue of "Well sir, we cant guarantee a specific type of car..."
I cut him off to say "Frank, you say this every time. Just give me the damn Tahoe for a week and I'll give you a ton of money."
So they give me a Tahoe. Works every time.
GM refreshed the Tahoe and its siblings yesterday in NYC. New features that utilitarians care about include:
- Fold-flat second- and third-row seats that enhance cargo convenience – including an available power-folding feature
- Approximately two inches greater legroom for second-row passengers, along with easier entry/exit
- Available eight-inch color touch screen radio with next-generation MyLink connectivity
- Up to six USB ports and six power outlets – including a 110-volt three-prong outlet – to support electronic devices of all kinds (up to 12 charging locations)
- Conversation mirror in the overhead console that provides a panoramic view of the rear seats
I'll frequently rent one for a few days or a week to do various corporate events, photo shoots, off-roading etc. The truck is a constant workhorse, with great manners on-road and off, and enough storage capacity for my many Pelican cases and all my crew. I'll drive them through the Sierra's, Mid Town traffic and everywhere in between.

DETROIT – Chevrolet and GMC today revealed all-new versions of their segment-leading full-size SUVs – the Tahoe and Suburban and Yukon and Yukon XL. Thanks to a new family of advanced EcoTec3 engines, the four new SUVS are expected to deliver the segment’s best V-8 fuel economy.
The 2015 Tahoe and Suburban, revealed in New York, are designed to be more functional and refined while offering more safety features and a greater range of advanced technologies for today’s connected customers.
The all-new 2015 Yukon, Yukon XL and flagship Yukon Denali, models, shown in Los Angeles, will deliver greater capability and refinement, with more power, new fold-flat rear seats and a quieter interior.
Chevrolet and GMC together are responsible for three of every four vehicles sold. The sales and revenue generated would be equal to a Fortune 400 company. With a 74 percent market share through August this year, General Motors' dominance in the segment is clear. So far in 2013, Chevrolet and GMC have sold 125,000 Chevrolet Tahoes and Suburbans and GMC Yukons and Yukon XLs.
