      SUVs vs. Trucks: Performance

        If your family goes boating on Lake Erie, a Chevy SUV is more than capable of safely towing an average size boat when properly equipped. If you need to haul over 8,600 lb.-the greatest maximum towing capacity offered by the 2017 Chevy Tahoe-consider a Chevy pickup truck, which is perfect for commercial applications.
        If towing is the least of your worries, a Chevrolet SUV has more than enough muscle to get you and your family around the Erie, PA area, providing more fuel efficiency and agile handling than a Chevy pickup truck.

              • Chevrolet MyLink Radio with 4.2-in., 7-in., or 8-in. diagonal color screen

              If you need versatility or seating for more than six, a Chevy SUV such as the 2017 Traverse will fit you, your family, and all of your cargo. For everyone else, pickup trucks with regular cabs can comfortably fit three passengers while double and extended cabs fit up to six people. Depending on which cab you decide on, rear seats can feel cramped on lengthy road trips for families with more than three people
