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.
