CHEVROLET INTRODUCES THE TAHOE CUSTOM
New model offers Tahoe's legendary capability starting at $44,995
DETROIT — Today Chevrolet announced the new Tahoe Custom special edition for the 2018 model year. Like other Custom models, the Tahoe Custom is intended for buyers who want the uncompromised capability of Chevrolet trucks and SÚVs in a great looking package at an outstanding value.
'The Tahoe Custom is a response to strong customer demand for Tahoe, as well as the full-size SÚV segment moving upmarket,' said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. 'In the past five years, the average transaction price for the segment has climbed fueled by customer appetite for features like heated and cooled seats, adaptive cruise control and a head-up display. This created an unmet need in the marketplace for customers who want the cargo and towing capability of a full-size SÚV to go camping, boating or off-roading but don't necessarily want all of the option content offered on a Tahoe Premier.'
For $44,995, the 2018 Tahoe Custom comes standard with 6,600 pounds of towing capacity (up to 8,600 pounds of towing with max trailering package), a maximum of 112 cubic feet of cargo space and a 355-hp, 5.3L V-8 engine that delivers an expected segment-leading 23 mpg highway based on EPA estimates.
The Tahoe Custom is based on the LS trim and adds 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, all-season tires and a chrome-accented grille. Plus, Tahoe Custom features a third-row seat that has been removed, increasing cargo space behind the second row to a substantial 54 cubic feet for added utility.

•Apple CarPlay & Android Auto compatibility
