If you are looking for a family-friendly SUV, then the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe likely makes your list. With three rows of seats, this SUV can fit the whole family. It also has smart features, like rain-sensing wipers, that will help you appreciate the little things in life. Rain-sensing Wipers Help You See the Road If you happen to visit Baum Chevrolet Buick while it’s raining, you will get to check out the rain-sensing wipers in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe on your test-drive. Whether or not you get to try them out before buying the Tahoe, the technology behind the wipers is worth learning more about. Automakers have tried to create rain-sensing wiper systems for years with limited success. Today, however, companies like Chevrolet are using systems that deliver results. These typically rely on optical sensors to detect moisture. Many systems will mount the sensor, so it is by the rearview mirror and touches the inside of your windshield. The sensor then emits infrared light at a 45-degree angle and evaluates what happens. If the light reflects back to the sensor, the windshield is dry or nearly dry. If less light reaches the sensor, it is raining. Using optical sensors like this adds even more functionality to rain-sensing wipers. In addition to turning on and off by themselves, this technology lets them adjust their speed based on how quickly the moisture accumulates. A convenient touch will turn off the system, such as when washing your Tahoe. Handling for All Driving Conditions Even with the extreme seasons in Illinois, you won’t have to worry about whether your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is up to the challenge. That is particularly true when you choose to add Magnetic Ride Control to the standard independent rear suspension. For an even smoother experience, opt for the first-in-class Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. Performance to Match The performance behind the Tahoe matches its unique suspension, which is the most advanced in its class. You can choose from two V8 engines, letting you find the perfect balance of efficiency and power. Attention to Detail Inside the Cabin No matter how far you drive in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will appreciate the attention to detail that Chevrolet put into the SUV. The reimagined cabin feels even more spacious than before. There are also unique features, including a Power Sliding Center Console that helps you make the most of the space. Slide it back as far as 10 inches, creating a hidden storage spot perfect for valuables. The interior of the Tahoe is as versatile, if not more versatile, than ever before. You can make use of up to 122.9 cubic feet for cargo, the best-in-class figure. Or keep all of the seats upright and let your third-row passengers enjoy 40 percent more legroom than they did in the previous generation.

Bluetooth Keeps You Safe and Connected The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 keeps you safe in multiple ways. These include features you may not necessarily associate with safety, such as Bluetooth. Even with Bluetooth now standard on many cars at Baum Chevrolet Buick, it is a standout offering worthy of discussing. The rise of Bluetooth in cars and trucks comes directly from safety considerations.

The Most Functional Truck Bed You Will Find On top of the Bluetooth functionality, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has the most functional truck bed you can find. It starts with high-strength steel that was roll-formed to create a sturdy bed. It also boasts 89.1 cubic feet, the best-in-class figure. To keep your gear organized, the truck bed even has a whopping 12 tie-downs, twice the number available from competitors. Looking for more functionality? You can take advantage of the industry-first power-up/down tailgate. Can Handle All of Your Tasks The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is up to whatever task you throw its way. Maximize efficiency with the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine or opt for the 6.2-liter V8 to get extra power. Don’t forget to consider the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel as well. In total, there are five engine configurations to choose from. Combine that power with advanced towing technology, so you never have to leave your trailer or boat behind. For an example of the type of towing technology you will find in the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, look no further than the available 15 camera views. This is more coverage than you will find on any competitor. Depending on how you configure your Silverado 1500, you can tow up to 13,300 pounds or haul up to 2,280 pounds.
