2008 Chevy Tahoe Becomes Police Vehicle
Roomy. That’s a feature that policemen want in their vehicle. And that is quite easy to understand. See, when police are patrolling, they need space to stuff in all the equipment that they need to do their duty. Just look at the CSI team who drive to the scene bringing with them tons of stuff.
Well, Chevrolet has got an answer to cops’ wants — the Tahoe. Chevrolet made a version of the vehicle with cops in mind and thus came the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Police which is currently known as the very first SUV made for cops.
For 2008, this police vehicle has gone through a restyling. It uses the company’s full size SUV platform. For power, this is generated by a 5.3 liter V8 engine that has the capacity to produce 320 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque. Mind you, this power source is not a fuel miser for the V8 has been tinkered with so much so that it uses the company’s Active Fuel Management technology that improves the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Cops can even put in E85 as fuel so the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Police has also become a green vehicle.
