The 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe had a new exterior for the new millennium. An arched roofline gave the full-size SUV a more elegant look and increased headroom, while a streamlined front end added freshness. Inside the cabin, the 2000 Tahoe saw a few new design touches as well. Three trim levels were available for the '00 Chevy Tahoe: a base model, LS, and LT. Two-wheel and four-wheel drive versions were offered for each trim. Drivers and reviewers praised the 2000 Chevy Tahoe for its smooth ride, thanks to independent rear suspension. Compared to other truck-based sport utility vehicles on the market, the Tahoe handles more like a car. That's no car engine under the hood, though. Like its cousin, the Chevy Silverado pickup, the '00 Tahoe boasts a choice of V8 engines: a 4.8-liter V8 with 275-horsepower output was standard, or drivers could upgrade to a 5.3-liter block clocked at 285 horsepower.
