2007 Chevrolet Tahoe: Godzilla Doesn't Like Giving Directions

This was my first time driving the Tahoe, and as someone who drove a little roadster for a couple of years, I felt like I had hopped onto an aircraft carrier on wheels.  My main impressions were that it had reasonably good power and an overall comfortable interior. 

There were a couple of things I noticed though.....

First off, though the thing is a behemoth, when it comes time to try to haul  stuff, the cargo area is not all that big.  I had grand visions of moving a not-so-large desk for someone, but when we had a look at the desk and then the cargo area, it felt a little iffy.  We ultimately decided to hold off.  It's people hauling strengths definitely outdo its stuff hauling skills.




Also, though I liked certain parts of the navigation and audio system just fine, when it came time for us to enter the address of our destination, the interface was pretty clunky.  With three graduate degrees between the two of us,  it shouldn't be that hard, and honestly, we did figure it out, but they seemed to go out of there way to make the nav interface non-user-friendly.



Don't get me wrong; the Tahoe did its job as a big mondo SUV just fine.  If a tree fell on my family and I wanted to wreak revenge on Mother Nature, I might consider it as my gas guzzling tool of choice, but it definitely has its weaknesses...
