If you're searching for a rugged and capable mid-'90s SUV that's
still in possession of its original aesthetics, but with some
aftermarket modification added to the mix to enhance its
head-turning ability, this 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4x4 might just
be the answer. Judging by its revitalized appearance, it was
recently refreshed in its original Summit White and sports clean
chrome trim from front to back. Its elevated stance will make it
stand out in any automotive crowd, and when you climb inside and
take hold of the steering wheel, you can't help but feel a sense of
power. Upgraded headlights illuminate the path ahead, while the
added tubular side steps not only complement the rest of the
exterior but also make getting in and out of this lifted Chevy much
easier.
The interior has seen the attention needed to bring it back to good
form, and features power-adjustable front buckets and a rear bench
seat that have been recovered in the same tan leather they began
service with. Arriving at a time when enhanced convenience
amenities were already becoming the norm, this Chevy offers power
windows, door locks, and mirrors, as well as rear defrost. While
out on the road, you'll enjoy a variety of audio options via the
added Pioneer touchscreen-operated AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth
connectivity and an auxiliary port.
This Tahoe is powered by a 5.7L V8, electronically fuel-injected
engine. Still running in top form, it fires up promptly and pulls
with plenty of strength, teaming with a 4-speed automatic 700R4
transmission with an overdrive gear to keep RPMs down at highway
speeds. Factory power steering makes navigating this substantial
vehicle a breeze, while four-wheel power brakes that position discs
up front provide plenty of low-effort stopping ability that pairs
well with regular driving. Not only does the featured BDS 6" lift
kit add an aggressive air, but it also affords this robust SUV with
plenty of ground clearance to navigate rocky terrain in four-wheel
drive.
