Badass, Blacked-out Chevy Tahoe Is the Anti-Crossover
Why drop the kids off at school in some boring, car-like crossover when you can be the coolest parent on the block?
The word “SUV” means a lot of things these days. Some, like the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, are still rough and tumble, body-on-frame trucks. But most are the soft-roaders folks like to refer to as crossovers. There’s nothing wrong with buying a vehicle packed with enough space for the kiddos and your stuff, of course. But we prefer the more traditional (and certainly more capable) types of SUVs. Like this brutish 1996 Chevy Tahoe we spotted over at Mecum Auctions.
For starters, just look at the thing. Who’s going to get in your way when you’re late getting the kids to school? Plus, little Billy will be the coolest kid in class when he’s dropped off in a big, black Chevy Tahoe sitting on 20-inch Moto Metal wheels, right? Throw on giant fender flares, a billet grille, custom headlights, and industrial looking chrome steps, and you might not even have to fight with him to get out of the door on time.
Plus, who wouldn’t want to sit inside that plush diamond-pattern interior? Stitched up in contrasting black and dark red, it’s more like the kind of thing you’d see in a modern-day luxury car. Not a rough and tumble old school SUV. And we’re guessing that it sounds pretty good with a K&N cold air intake (and other, unnamed mods) under the hood.
Selling with no reserve at auction, there’s no telling how much dough this Chevy Tahoe will bring. But we’re guessing it won’t be much. These ‘utes were recently dubbed a rare bargain in the ever-growing world of old school SUV mania. So if we were you, we’d grab it (or another one) up post haste before the rest of the world catches on!
