When the GMT800 platform based Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon was released for the 2000 model year, a
2WD Tahoe Limited and 4WD Tahoe Z71 remained in production on the GMT400 platform as special
edition vehicles. These special edition vehicles were produced in the Arlington, Texas assembly plant for
the 2000 model year only.
The Chevrolet Tahoe Limited was based on the Chevrolet Tahoe SS concept vehicle introduced in 1996
that never made it to production. It is reported that GM disliked the idea of an SS badged vehicle at a time
when insurance companies were already demanding higher premiums for SUVs. The Tahoe SS prototype
vehicles made in 1996 were painted either an unspecified metallic green or metallic blue, but the Tahoe
Limited was produced only in Onyx Black. The Tahoe Limited had
a distinctive exterior appearance that included a factory equipped
ground effects, a monochromatic theme with bumpers and grille
painted in the same high gloss black as the body, removal of the
roof rack, and fog lamps integrated into the front bumper. Other
notable features of the Tahoe Limited included the Z60 high-
performance chassis package (commonly known as the police
package) which places the body of the vehicle 2 in (51 mm) lower
than the 4WD Tahoe, two-tone gray and charcoal leather interior
2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Limited seating surfaces, a 120 mph (190 km/h) gauge cluster, 46 mm
(1.8 in) Bilstein shock absorbers, a 3.42 or optional 3.73 rear gear
ratio, a limited slip rear differential, an engine oil cooling system,
and distinctive 16 inch Ronal R36 five-spoke aluminum wheels.
The L31 5.7 L Vortec V8 powerplant and 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission shared with other
GMT400 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles were not modified in these special edition vehicles, and as such these
special editions were mostly appearance packages, albeit with unique-handling suspension options.
2003
GM's full-size SUVs saw a major refresh for the 2003 model year. New features include: StabiliTrak
stability enhancement system, dual-level airbags, passenger-sensing system, adjustable brake and
accelerator pedals with memory. New radio systems with Radio Data System (RDS), custom designed
Bose audio system available on models with front bucket seats, XM Satellite Radio, and Panasonic rear-
seat DVD entertainment system. Tri-Zone climate control with manual controls standard on LS and Z71,
automatic controls standard on LT. Second-row bucket seats optional on models with leather seating
surfaces. LT models feature power-adjustable, body-color exterior mirrors with power folding, memory and
integrated turn signal indicators.
2003 Tahoe's provided early compliance to the 2005 LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)
federal safety standards. A redesigned instrument cluster featured a new Driver Information Center, which
can monitor and report on up to 34 different vehicle system functions including: Service StabiliTrak, Ice
Possible and Door Ajar. The interior was refreshed, including a new eight-button steering wheel that allows
the driver to safely access new infotainment features as well as a redesigned center console.
There were also new improvements to the powertrain and electrical system for 2003. These included a new
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system to improve throttle feel and new oxygen sensors to improve
durability and reduce emissions during engine warm-up. Models sold in California received a more robust
catalytic-converter to meet Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards. A new battery-rundown
protection system automatically turns off the headlamps, parking lamps, and interior lighting if left on for
more than 10 minutes with the key removed from the ignition.
New colors for 2003 include Sandalwood Metallic and Dark Spiral Gray Metallic.
2004
The Tahoe received minor updates for 2004, most notably newly designed 16 and 17-inch wheel choices
and a tire pressure monitoring system. Hydroboost brakes and a front passenger seat belt reminder were
also added as was a 7-to-4 pin trailer brake wiring adapter. 2004 was the final year Tahoe could be ordered
with rear barn doors.
The 5.3L Vortec 5300 V8 is now rated at 295 hp (220 kW) and 335 lb⋅ft (454 N⋅m).
New colors for 2004 were Dark Blue Metallic, Silver Birch Metallic, and Sport Red Metallic.
2005
New features for 2005 include, Z71 package now available on 2WD models, upgraded tire pressure
monitoring system, new OnStar system featuring Gen 6 hardware with analog/digital coverage and
upgraded hands-free capabilities. OnStar is now standard on all trims. Touch-screen navigation system now
optional. 160-amp alternator, new interior trim, and redesigned aerodynamic side-sill assist steps to improve
efficiency. All Tahoes come standard with a rear liftgate and liftglass.
A new all-electric cooling system helps with quiet operation as well as fuel efficiency. New aerodynamic
changes, including a new front air deflector, help the Tahoe improve fuel efficiency by one MPG.
The 4.8L Vortec 4800 V8 is now rated at 285 hp (213 kW) and 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m).
2006
2006 marked the final year of the Tahoe and Yukon on the GMT800 platform and because of this only
minor changes were made. These changes included StabiliTrak standard on all models, combining the
OnStar and XM Satellite Radio antennas into one single unit, removal of the Chevrolet badging on the
liftgate, removal of rubber trim from the liftglass, relocating the catalytic converter closer to the engine to
improve emissions performance and a new manual parking brake adjuster.
The flex-fuel capable Vortec 5300 V8 is now available on all retail packages.

2010 models underwent a mild mid-cycle refresh including a slightly raised bumper, removal of the GM
"Mark of Excellence" door badge, revised interior door trim, improved side structure, side torso airbags and
optional side blind zone alert.
For 2012, the GMC Yukon offered a special Heritage Edition package, featuring unique Heritage Edition
exterior badging, embroidered color-keyed carpeted floor mats, embroidered headrests, SLT-2 Equipment
Group standard features (such as 10-way memory leather seats and power liftgate), and optional 20-inch
wheels. The Heritage Edition added $1,970 to the price of the Yukon and Yukon XL and was offered in
three colors, Heritage Blue, White Diamond Tricoat and Onyx Black.[11]
Engines
The new platform is based on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Both SUVs
feature sound deadening material to improve cabin quietness. A new Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac
Escalade ESV arrived in dealerships in April 2014. Models continued for the Tahoe and Suburban as LS,
LT, and LTZ, and the Yukon and Yukon XL as SLE, SLT, and Denali. The Tahoe and Yukon went on
sale in February 2014 as an early 2015 model year vehicle. Prices for the all-new GM SUVs are expected
to stay the same as the current-generation GMT900 SUVs. The Tahoe Hybrid, Yukon Hybrid, and Yukon
Denali Hybrid models were dropped along with their powertrains, as well as the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
and Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Platinum. The Yukon Denali AWD was also dropped as well.
On September 26, 2014, Chevrolet debuted the updated Z71 Tahoe at the State Fair of Texas, along with
the debut of the Texas Edition Tahoe, the latter due to Texas having the largest units of Tahoes sold in the
United States (as of August 2014, sales of the Chevrolet SUVs in Texas were up 37 percent) and to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of GM's Arlington Assembly plant; production began in October 2014. As
with the previous Z71 Tahoe, this version will continue to be offered in a 4WD LT trim only, featuring a
front skid plate, off-road tires mounted on 18-inch wheels, a unique grille, running boards and "Z71"
identification inside and out. Fog lamps, front tow hooks and front parking assist are also included. The
Texas Edition will be available in both LT and LTZ trims, featuring a maximum trailering package, twenty-
inch polished aluminum wheels (on LT models), twenty-two-inch premium painted aluminum wheels (on
LTZ models), and an exclusive "Texas Edition" badge. The Texas Edition Tahoe package will be part of a
lineup that will also use the Texas Edition package, alongside the Suburban and Silverado.[19]
The demand and interest in the redesigned Tahoe has also translated into a 108 percent sales spike since it
went on sale in February 2014, with most dealers reporting the units being sold within 17 days after they
arrive on the dealership lots, with most customers opting for the fully optioned LTZ model, making it one
of Chevrolet's fastest-selling vehicles in 2014 along with Suburban, who posted higher sales and quicker
inventory turnovers.[20]

Safety recalls
On March 23, 2014, a 2015 GMC Yukon caught fire and went up in flames in Anaheim, California, after a
couple, who along with the sales representative who was giving them a test drive, noticed the vehicle
stopping and that smoke was starting to make its way into the cabin, prompting the three individuals to park
the car and escape before it was destroyed within 15 minutes. The cause of the fire was traced to an oil leak
and an engine malfunction.[21] Despite being an isolated incident, the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon are not
believed to be tied to GM's announced recall of its vehicles that was made on March 17, 2014.[22] But five
days later on March 28, 2014, GM announced a recall on the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon in order to fix a
“transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in its fitting”, causing the vehicle to stop and rupture
the oil cooling line, resulting in the engine to malfunction and catching fire immediately.[23] On June 6,
2014, GM issued another recall on the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon because their radio control modules may not
work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings.[24]
The Tahoe received 4G LTE, WiFi, and Siri capability, a new color palette, Brownstone Metallic, and
added a hands-free power liftgate feature that is standard on LTZ, but included on LT with the optional
Luxury Package. The MyLink with Navigation feature became standard on the LTZ trim, while E85
capability is removed from retail orders[25]
The Yukon, in addition to receiving the aforementioned features, sees the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine
being updated with the new 8L90E eight-speed automatic transmission for the interim model year, allowing
it to improve fuel economy.[26]
A body-colored painted Shark Fin antenna was added with the 2015 mid-year refresh for all models.
2016
For the 2016 model year, the Chevrolet Tahoe received more upgraded changes and new features, similar
to the ones added to the Suburban. The changes included power-adjustable pedals, forward collision alert,
IntelliBeam headlamps, lane keep assist and a safety alert seat as part of the newly introduced enhanced
driver alert package as an available option on the LS trim. The inside floor console with storage area-SD
card reader was removed and a new infotainment system was introduced, officially ending the CD player
era for the Tahoe; the 8-inch MyLink feature was expanded to the LS trim and became standard (replacing
the 4-inch display), although the navigation feature remains as an option on LT and standard on LTZ. A
new liftgate shield was added to the Theft Protection Package, along with the new lane keep assist which
replaced the lane departure warning. The capless fuel fill tanks became standard on all trims. Siren Red
Tintcoat and Iridescent Pearl Tricoat became the new color trims, replacing Crystal Red Tintcoat and White
Diamond Tricoat. The instrument cluster was re-configured with a new multi-color enhancement and a
heads-up display was introduced as a standard only on the LTZ trim.[27][28]
The 2016 GMC Yukon also sees similar changes, with liftgate, power, hands-free now packaged on SLT
trims, a free-flow feature that replaced the Premium package, and two new premium colors (Crimson Red
Tintcoat and White Frost Tricoat) replacing Crystal Red Tintcoat and White Diamond Tricoat
respectively.[29][30]
The 2016 Tahoe came equipped with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Capability features. However,
only one of their phone brands at any one time can be used. The 2014 and 2015 LTZ and Denali packages
came equipped with a "wireless" charging accessory.[31] while the Android Auto option will only be
available on LT and LTZ trims featuring 8 inch screens.[32]
In 2015, the Russian-built Chevrolet Tahoe received the 6.2L V8 L86 EcoTec engine, which was the only
engine offered in the region as an exclusive to the Russian and CIS markets only, as GM had no plans to
make it available to North America.[33]
2017
For the 2017 model year, Chevrolet made upgraded changes to the Tahoe. New additions include the teen
driver feature, the App Store feature, a rear seat reminder, and low speed forward automatic braking. Two
new colors, Blue Velvet and Pepperdust Metallic, were added to replace four colors. The 22-inch wheels
option was expanded to three, and the rear seat entertainment system was overhauled. Chevrolet also made
changes in the level trims, with the c-pillar badge now removed from LS models and the LTZ trim is
renamed to Premier, which will continue to be the top-of-the-line model.[34]
The 2017 model year Yukon also received similar changes, but with a few exceptions. Two new colors,
Dark Blue Sapphire Metallic and Mineral Metallic were introduced, the latter exclusive to the Denali,
which is also adding a new 22-inch ultra bright aluminum wheels with midnight silver premium paint and a
head-up display to its features. The interior backlights changed from red to blue. The heated and vented
driver and front passenger seats are now standard on the SLT and Denali trims.[35]
2018
For the 2018 model year, the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine will be available in the Tahoe RST (when
bought with the Performance Package). All M.Y. 2018 Tahoe and Suburban trim levels will now be
standard with LED Daytime Running Lights which will replace the high beam projector DRLs on LS and
LT trim levels. The 2018 Tahoe will have the Custom Edition package added as an option on the base LS
trim level. The Chevy Tahoe LS trim level will feature a chrome grille, 18" painted aluminum wheels, 18"
all season blackwall tires, and third row seat delete (which reduces passenger capacity to 5 seats from 8
seats) if ordered with the Custom Edition package. The GMC Yukon received a 10 speed automatic
transmission on the Denali trim level and the GMC Yukon is facelifted for 2018 with a refreshed grille
similar to the one from the 2017 GMC Acadia and 2018 GMC Terrain.
2019
The 2019 model year Tahoe/Yukon will only see minor changes. One exterior color, Shadow Gray
Metallic, will replace both Havana Metallic and Tungsten Metallic, and the Premier model receives a newly
redesigned badge on the liftgate.[36]
2020
The 2020 model year Tahoe/Yukon will have a short tenure due to this being the final year for the fourth
generation. Accordingly, Chevrolet is deleting the All Season Package and the LT Signature Package,
along with the Pepperdust Metallic exterior color from the Tahoe,[37] while the 2020 GMC Yukon replaced
its Pepperdust Metallic color with Carbon Black Metallic with no additional changes.[38]

Carryover trims include the basic LS, LT, and Premier, Layout Front engine,
with Z71 and RST moving from package to trim level, rear-wheel drive / four-

coronavirus pandemic that has slowed down production, the fifth generation Tahoe will go on sale in the
second quarter of 2020 as a 2021 model.[42]
Although GM had been making plans to bring the Tahoe to right-hand drive countries for the first time,
those plans were temporarily put on hold for the Australasian region due to a low demand for large SUVs
and a local company (expected to be Holden Special Vehicles) that was prepared to do the conversions
focusing on other productions.[43][44][45]
In November 2020, GM announced that their large SUV lineup will be imported to China, marking the
Tahoe and Yukon Denali's maiden entry into the country, starting with the 5th generation models. However,
General Motors canceled these plans in February 2021, citing the difficulty of having an import being sold
alongside its Chinese-built offerings, the makeup of the facilities that would be required to assemble the
full-size SUVs, and concerns that the full-size SUVs won't be able to comply with the stringent emission
standards imposed by the Government of China.[46]
Yukon
GMC unveiled its fifth-generation Yukon in Vail, Colorado on January 14, 2020, alongside its extended
size sibling Yukon XL. Like the Tahoe, the Yukon will also feature an independent rear suspension, a 3.0-
liter inline-six turbodiesel engine, and a top-shelf suspension option featuring air springs and magnetic-ride
shocks, a standard 5.3-liter V-8, an optional 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, and a 10-speed automatic transmission
that is standard across the lineup. It also gains 4.9 inches in the wheelbase but only 0.4 inches in overall
length, making it still short of the Tahoe's length. The dashboard will have two versions, one similar to the
Tahoe while a different one with a larger entertainment screen will be exclusive to the Denali. The Yukon's
design follows GMC's design language, with the front grille mimicking the Sierra but the tailgate
mimicking the GMC crossover SUV lineup with the lights extended to the tailgate doors.
The lineup of level trims also expanded as well, with the SLE, SLT, and Denali now joined by the 4WD-
exclusive AT4, the latter of which comes standard with the Magnetic Ride Control electronically adaptive
dampers, AT4-exclusive leather-appointed seats, and stitching with a unique Jet Black interior color and
Brandy accents, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row outboard
seats, a two-speed transfer case, 20-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires, Traction Select System with off-road
mode, hill descent control, and skid plates.
Recalls/safety issue
On August 3, 2020, GM sent out a new TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) that addresses a potential issue
related to the engine oil cooler lines on the 2021 Tahoe and Yukon. The issue was sent out to dealerships
ahead of receiving the vehicles and were instructed to inspect the engine oil cooler lines at the quick
connector on the radiator in order to ensure they are properly seated before selling or dealer-trading the
vehicle. No parts were needed for replacement but cautioned customers to have it checked as catastrophic
engine failure could occur if not repaired.[49]
1999–2000
In 1998, at the time of its introduction, the Yukon Denali was GM's
answer to the Lincoln Navigator, but then GM introduced a clone
to the Yukon Denali and rebadged it "Escalade" under the Cadillac
nameplate. The Yukon Denali's exterior was shared with the
Cadillac Escalade, with the entire front clip and lower side body
panels differing from the standard Yukon. In the interior, in
addition, the Denali features luxury options not available in the GMT400 GMC Yukon Denali
Yukon. These included an upgraded leather interior, power seats,
heated seats front and rear, Bose stereo system, and some
woodgrain on the dashboard. The 1999 Yukon Denali and Escalade also saw the first application of GM's
OnStar communications system in a full-size SUV.
2001–2006
Even though the Yukon was redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe in 2000, the Denali
and Escalade remained on the GMT400 platform. It was not until 2001 that the Denali and Escalade were
redesigned. While the Escalade departed from its Yukon based exterior design scheme in attempt to hide its
roots, the Yukon Denali's exterior is almost the same as that of a post-2000 model year GMT800 Yukon.
Embossed side body panels and slightly reworked headlights with projector-beam lenses along with 17"
polished wheels and a unique grille and front bumper differentiate
the Yukon Denali from the regular Yukon. 2001 also saw the
introduction of the "punch" grille which now has become the
hallmark of the Denali nameplate.
2007–2014
The Yukon Denali was redesigned for the 2007 model year
alongside the regular mainstream Yukon. The biggest change was
in the styling, such as the flattened tailgate reminiscent of the new
Tahoe, and particularly the grill and headlight shapes, which made
the Yukon look less aggressive than previous models. The only
exterior difference between the Yukon Denali and the standard
Yukon are the chrome grille and extensive use of chrome accents;
and of course the insignias, embeveled rockerpanels, chromed 2011 GMC Yukon Denali
headlights and the Vortec 6200 engine which it shares with the
Cadillac Escalade. For the 2009 model year, the Yukon comes with
a standard power-tilting steering wheel, exclusive to the Denali trim.
2015–2020
The Yukon Denali was redesigned and updated along with other
GM SUVs in September 2013 and went to dealerships on February
5, 2014 as a 2015 model. The Yukon Denali continues with the
top-of-the-line features (using the similar features found in the
Tahoe LTZ trim) and the front grille honeycomb design, equipped
with a new active noise-cancellation technology and GM's third-
generation magnetic ride control suspension as a standard feature.
In November 2014 The Yukon Denali saw its MSRP bumped up
by $1,300 in part due to the loaded features added to its 2015 mid-
GMC Yukon XL Denali (fourth
year updates.[50] generation)
2021-present
The fifth generation Yukon Denali was introduced in January 2020. The updated and redesigned vehicle
will move up in its top-of-the-line level trim due to the introduction of the AT4 that was slotted above the
SLT level. It will also have a different dashboard feature that will be exclusive to this trim.
2021 GMC Yukon Denali
Hybrid vehicle
The Tahoe made its hybrid electric debut in late 2007.[51] In
January 2008, starting price was US$50,540.[52] The starting price
of the 2009 model was increased to US$51,405.[53]
The Tahoe and Yukon Hybrid models were discontinued after the 2013 model year as GM moved to make
their SUVs more fuel efficient with the introduction of the EcoTec engine that they would later install in the
2015 Tahoe and Yukon.
Elsewhere in South America, Chile, has incorporated the Tahoe as a transport vehicle for the special
operations unit (GOPE) of the Chilean Police (Carabineros de Chile) to carry communication equipment.
The Tahoe was also assembled in Venezuela from CKD kits for three generations, being phased out in
2014 along most of the local Chevrolet range due to unfavorable economic conditions and political
circumstances. The fourth generation of the Tahoe has not been available in Venezuela.
In Ecuador, due to the tax benefits hybrid vehicles offer, the third generation of the Tahoe was offered only
in the hybrid version until 2011. A review of the benefit to exclude hybrid vehicles with a displacement
greater than 1.8L rendered the Tahoe Hybrid less cost-effective than the non-hybrid in Ecuador.
Police package
In North America, the Tahoe is used by many law enforcement
agencies, fire departments, and EMS agencies. Prior to the
announcement of the Z56 police package model the civilian base &
LS models based on the GMT400 were used in police service.
During the 1997 model year, the Tahoe was offered with the Z56
police option using suspension components from the discontinued
454SS truck – the first Tahoe Z56s were available only in 2WD
until the GMT400 was phased out. The original prototype had rear GMT800 Chevrolet Tahoe Police
disc brakes based on the B-body 9C1s whereas the production package
Z56s came with rear drum brakes. Plans for outfitting the Tahoe
with the Z56 police package originated around the 1994 model
year when GM broke news about phasing out its B-platform sedans
(Caprice, Impala SS, Roadmaster) at the end of the 1996 model
year where a replacement was imminent since GM ended
production of its body-on-frame passenger sedans due to SUV
sales. Since the introduction of the GMT900, Chevrolet currently
offers two versions of the police package Tahoe; a four-wheel-drive
version and a two-wheel-drive version. Just like the GMT400
based models civilian GMT800 Tahoe base & LS models were also
used for police use until the Z56 police package option was A Tahoe used for the Hoover Dam
reintroduced in 2004 late in the GMT800's life cycle by some police
agencies.
Chevrolet refers to the four-wheel drive (4WD) version as "Special Service Vehicle" (SSV) which has the
5W4 code. This version of the Tahoe can be used for all purposes except pursuits and high speed responses
due to its high center of gravity just below the front window[55] (height, not location), thus having a higher
probability of rolling-over at high speeds. This version is preferred by agencies where snow, ice, flooding,
rough terrain, and ground clearance are common issues.[34]
Chevrolet refers to the two-wheel drive (2WD) version—also known as the rear-wheel drive (RWD)
version—as "Police Pursuit Vehicle" (PPV). This version be used for all purposes including pursuits and
high speed responses. The center of gravity in this vehicle is lower than that of the four-wheel-drive version
and the ground clearance is about 1 in (25 mm) less, with a standard rear bumper replacing the tow hitch on
civilian Tahoes. Highway patrol agencies prefer the two-wheel-drive version, where pursuits and long
distance responses are more common. As of the 2012 model year, the Tahoe was the last body-on-frame,
rear-wheel drive police vehicle manufactured for the United States market since Ford phased out its aging
Panther platform, the Volvo XC90-based Ford Police Interceptor (known as the Ford Explorer in civilian
trim). Other SUVs like the Ford Expedition are used by many law enforcement and EMS agencies, but are
not pursuit rated.[35]
Chevrolet built a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Patrol Vehicle that was previewed as a concept at the 2013
SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The vehicle became available in 2WD and 4WD drivetrains with orders
coming in the first quarter of 2014 for special service models, followed by the orders for the police pursuit
models afterwards.
2021 PPV
The 2021 Tahoe PPV marks the most drastic change from the standard Tahoe. Rocker covers are borrowed
from the GM LT4 engine found in high performance Corvettes, Camaros and Cadillacs. Engine and
transmission coolers are PPV specific. Bridgestone co-developed Firehawk Pursuit tires with GM for the
20 inch steel wheels. 6 piston,16 inch rotor Brembo brakes are standard issue on the PPV. The suspension
is lowered and further fortified. All wheel drive is standard and sent to the front as needed with a limited
slip clutch in the transfer case. 160 MPH speedometer is standard and alternator almost doubles the
amperage of the standard Tahoe. This version of the PPV uses the 9C1 code instead of the Z56 code.[56]
Military applications
When production of the CUCV II ended in 2000, GM LSSV
redesigned it to coincide with civilian truck offerings. The
CUCV nomenclature was changed to Light Service
Support Vehicle in 2001. In 2005, LSSV production
switched to AM General, a unit of MacAndrews and
Forbes Holdings. The LSSV is a GM-built Chevrolet
Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, Chevrolet
Tahoe, or Chevrolet Suburban that is powered by a
Duramax 6.6 liter turbo diesel engine. As GM has
periodically redesigned its civilian trucks and SUVs from
2001 to the present, LSSVs have also been updated
cosmetically.[57]
Overview
The militarization of standard GM trucks/SUVs to become
LSSVs includes exterior changes such as CARC paint Manufacturer General Motors, AM
(Forest Green, Desert Sand, or 3-color Camouflage), General
blackout lights, military bumpers, a brush guard, a NATO Model years 2001–present
slave receptacle/NATO trailer receptacle, a pintle hook,
tow shackles and a 24/12 volt electrical system. The Body and chassis
dashboard has additional controls and dataplates. The Body style 2-door SUV
truck also can be equipped with weapon supports in the 4-door SUV
cab, cargo tie down hooks, folding troop seats, pioneer 2-door pickup
tools, winches, and other military accessories.[57] In the 4-door pickup
Canadian Army these vehicles are nicknamed
"Milverado". Platform GM GMT880 platform
Powertrain
Engine 6.6 L Duramax V8
The Enhanced Mobility Package (EMP) option adds an Transmission 4-speed 4L80-E automatic
uprated suspension, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, a locking 5-speed Allison 1000
rear differential, beadlock tires, a tire pressure monitoring automatic
system and other upgrades. About 2,000 LSSV units have
