Rear seat leg room cramped. Aparently moved forward to make room for 3rd row seating. 2nd row seats should be adjustable front to back. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |

Six speed and 5.3 liter engine is a perfect match. The '10 performs a lot better than our older Sub did, and gets better mpg to boot. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |
