Considering downsizing the size of your vehicle to save on soaring fuel costs? Worried about how to squeeze in those five kids you need to lug to soccer practice every week? Does the sight of a wimpy small sedan fill you with consternation but does the sight of gas prices at $4.00 a gallon fill you with absolute terror? Then perhaps the all new 2008 Tahoe Hybrid will cure what ails you! Available in both 2WD and 4WD, it is comparable with the existing Tahoe in terms of seating, cargo capacity, and price range.
The Tahoe Hybrid’s fuel conserving technology includes its 6.0L Vortec V8 engine with Active Fuel Management. It has Late Intake Valve closing for additional fuel savings with Variable Valve Timing and 10.8:1 compression ratio. Even with this high compression rate, the Tahoe Hybrid can run on regular unleaded fuel. The Tahoe Hybrid’s patented technology, the world’s first 2-mode (two motors, both generating 60kW of electricity) hybrid propulsion system, optimizes fuel economy for various driving conditions. The first mode, used at low speeds with light loads, enables the vehicle to operate in three ways: 1) electric power only, 2) engine power only, and 3) combination of electric and engine power. The second mode is used primarily at highway speeds, full engine power is used when necessary such as passing, towing a trailer, and climbing steep grades. The Tahoe Hybrid also recharges itself through regenerative braking. About 30% of its battery power is regenerated through regenerating braking, but be sure to not brake too hard! Just let off the gas and ease down for regeneration to occur.
The exterior has also been redesigned for aerodynamic improvements. It has a sleeker aluminum hood, grille and front fascia with a lower air dam, 18” wheels, assist steps, rear spats, a new rear spoiler, D-pillar moldings, tail lamps, rear fascia and an aluminum liftgate with fixed lift glass.
The Tahoe Hybrid’s safety components also exceed what you would normally find in a conventional Tahoe. It has a unique crash sensor for high-voltage content, a 300V battery protected by a box which encases it as well as the vehicle structure, a high-voltage system that shuts down automatically when the air bags deploy, and access protection, which shuts down the high-voltage system if any safety cover with integral switches is removed.
So cram in all of your kids, pets, and toys! The 2WD supports a payload of 1830 lbs and the 4WD model 1773 lbs. With 332 horsepower, a torque of 367 at 4100 rpm, and towing capacities of 6200 lbs (2WD) and 6000 lbs (4WD), you’ll forget that you’re driving something that uses so little gasoline! Three hundred gallons less per year than the competition, in fact!
Do you have XM Radio? You should for many reasons, especially if you spend plenty of “commuter time” behind the wheel. Imagine digital quality sound; over 170 Channels with every genre of music, new, talk radio, sports and more…If you were to jump in your car and drive from L.A. to New York, you could listen to all of your favorite music and never hear the same song twice! On almost every new 2008 Chevrolet car or truck is equipped with XM Satellite Radio and you get 3 months of XM Satellite Radio service included with your purchase. Be sure to ask about it at Singh Chevrolet.
So you are big truck enthusiast that feels the need for size. Well, if a Chevrolet 3500 Silverado isn’t big enough for your needs, we have something you will want to have. How about the big boy of pickups, the Chevrolet Kodiak 4500. Not familiar with that truck? You are, but usually this medium duty heavy truck is more commonly configured as dump trucks, school buses and moving vans. But the folks at Monroe Truck Equipment Company have teamed up with Chevy to build the Kodiak 4500 pickup.
At the heart of the Kodiak is the Duramax 6600 diesel and Allison six-speed transmission (with PTO) that is found in the Silverado and Sierra HD trucks. And while versions of the Duramax can be tuned to 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the medium-duty versions such as what’s in the Kodiak are not. The Kodiak power totals 300 horses and 605 pound-feet of torque, which provide plenty of grunt for getting around town and towing. At highway speeds, the Kodiak loafs along at under 2,000 rpm. But being a very large vehicle, you do not accelerate with anything close to regular truck speeds. Momentum gathers more locomotive-like. The Allision transmission though is remarkably smooth-shifting, seamlessly snicking off gears without any jerks to the chassis.
Steering and braking are quite good for such a huge vehicle, but its home is clearly the open road. You will need about four regular parking spots to visit your local Wal-Mart, and drive-throughs, whether at the bank or your favorite fast food restaurant, are really out of the question unless you like to spend a lot of cash for repairing buildings.
But if you are someone that has the need for a serious tow vehicle, with the power and weight to get almost the biggest consumer trailer down the road, the Kodiak 4500 pickup is your vehicle.
Active Fuel Management is a new innovation to help you save gas! This is how it works. With Active Fuel Management technology from GM, the Vortec 5.3L V8 and 6.0L engines in half-ton models deliver power only when you need it. In situations where extra power is not needed, such as cruising down the highway on level roads, Active Fuel Management shuts down four of the eight cylinders, which in turn saves you gas. When more power is need, the cylinders start back up immediately. This exciting new technology is available in most Tahoes, Silverados, Suburbans, and Avalanches.
The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid looks nothing like the NASA space shuttle, yet it’s a similar leap into the future, and a similar collaboration among a bunch of science guys made it happen.
This full-size SUV can still haul seven or eight passengers plus cargo, and tow up to 6,000 pounds. Yet the only different thing you’ll notice about driving it, is the number of fuel stations you can pass by without feeling the need to top off the gas tank. Two-mode hybrids aren’t exactly new. GM has had the two-mode hybrid system working in transit buses since 2003. Today, about 700 of those buses are operating in 60 cities in North America and have just been introduced in Europe.
But the Tahoe represents the technology’s first application to a personal-size vehicle.The two-mode hybrid is a complex integration of electric motors, high-performance electronics, wiring, energy management and hybrid-system control units. As a result, GM had a devil of a time trying to help us understand why this two-mode hybrid technology is better than existing hybrids. A hybrid powertrain requires more airflow for cooling, so the front grille and front airdam have been suitably modified. Meanwhile the front fascia, running boards and rear spoiler have been reconfigured for a more slippery aerodynamic profil. As a result, the Tahoe Hybrid now has a 0.34 Cd (coefficient drag) , compared to the conventional version’s 0.39 Cd.Since the new hybrid powertrain adds about 400 pounds to the Tahoe’s curb weight, there are a number of useful measures to reduce the vehicle’s weight. The hood and rear liftgate are now aluminum. The front bucket seats are thinner, though they turn out to be just as comfortable and improve rear-seat legroom by a fraction. Look at some we have in stock.
So that’s why Chevy is an American Revolution.

Vroooooooom! Screams my 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe into life when you turn the key to ignition! … all of a sudden all these little gadgets come to life! Check out my Digital Information Center which gives me a “heads-up” on the vehicle current mile counter, tire pressure – all 4 of ‘em!, oil life, fuel economy, distance for available fuel, and many more! Yes, it is so convenient and gives you a sort of assurance!
When I start cruising on the freeway, (cruise control available), I love feeling the smooth premium ride suspension control and the vehicle’s capability for traction control on slippery roads. This vehicle has excellent handling and grip on the road – a totally safe vehicle with it’s head curtain side airbags all the way to the 3rd row. Equipped also with OnStar, I feel so protected - nothin’ beats this safety feature for a full size SUV!
Fuel economy is not as bad as some people would say. I spend at least $70 per week travelling 36 miles a day at high speed - totaling 216 miles for a 6-day workweek! Not bad ey? yea, yea….but really!
Comfort is never compromised in the SUV! The seats are ergonomically designed for a comfortable ride with ample leg space provided for that long stretch! And YES, luggage space is plentiful! With the vehicles versatility to adapt to different situations, the 3rd row can be folded or completely taken out of the vehicle to extend cargo space! Isn’t it wonderful? Now you have space for those heart-pounding 20” subwoofers! Boom! Boom! Boomshakalak till you drop!
My driving experience with my 2008 Chevy Tahoe has built in me a totally “new space” – where great things happen in style, comfort, and piece of mind! ……AND RIGHT NOW, I’M JUST LOVIN’ IT!……..

The new Duramax 6.6L light-truck diesel engine has launched General Motors into the lead in performance, fuel economy, reliability, and driveability. Tests, comparing GM, Ford & Dodge, have proven GM’s Duramax to be the most towing-capable diesel engine.
The Duramax 6.6L light-truck diesel engine is a result of a joint venture between Isuzu and General Motors Corporation (forming DMAX Ltd.).
Heavy-duty pickup trucks have one mission in life—work. General Motors has a knack for building big trucks that drive easy. The GM trucks are new for 2008, with tougher styling. However, much of the chassis from the previous model remains. And that’s okay; it’s a good one. GM’s biggest rigs are the only ones to use an independent front suspension for both 2wd and 4wd. While 4×4 purists might prefer a solid front axle, these trucks, when used for their intended purpose—that is, work—offer a much smoother ride and crisper handling. In fact, these trucks handle so well, they could be taken for a lighter duty model.
But make no mistake: These are beasts of burden. Base models come with a 353-hp 6.0-liter gasoline V8 with 373 lb.-ft. of torque paired to a six-speed automatic. Most buyers will and should opt for the Duramax diesel paired to the six-speed Allison automatic. It’s one monster of a motor, delivering 365 hp and 660 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s the strongest heavy-duty diesel engine you can buy. And it moves these trucks like muscle cars. Regard-less of the powertrain, GM’s big trucks come in a staggering array of configurations. There are three cab sizes, five wheelbases and a choice of dual rear wheels or single. With a 3500 4×4, dually rear-wheel diesel, you can haul nearly 2 tons in the bed alone or hitch up to a 16,500-pound trailer. On the inside, buyers can choose between two completely different interiors. One is more luxurious (LTZ Model) and comes directly from GM’s Tahoe and Yukon SUVs, and the other, called the (WT) or Work Truck model, is more like a traditional truck interior. On the road or off, the GM heavy-duty pickups make tackling any job easy. And it’s this effortless capability that makes them our favorites.
