2008 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	HAve LT3 package with heated 10 way leather. Ergonomics and placement of controls are natural and intuitive. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	There is plenty of space for all of the passengers and personal gear. The bucket seats add a lot of comfort. They also allow some extra room for third row passengers. Leather is the way to go, and the heated seats come in handy on those cold winter days. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
