What do you guys think about this new PPV? Honestly, it looks more bulkier and nothing like the old tahoe's

 

Honestly? I like the design of the front fascia more than I do the current generation of Tahoe. Looking at the civilian model from the Chevrolet website, it also kinda looks like it might have the indicators separate from the brake lights again (they combined them into the brake lights in 2014), which is always a good thing.

 

Not a fan of the fact that they went with touchscreens on the entertainment centre, though. Touchscreens do not stand up to abuse well, and they're most likely going to see abuse. It also looks like it's got a pushbutton shifter (don't like 'em either) - on one hand, it'll be easier to throw it in park for foot chases, but on the other hand, it'll be far easier to bonk it out of gear by mistake.

 

The ten-speed gearbox has me intrigued, though. It makes more sense for the SSV since that submodel is more kitted for off-road heavy-duty work (e.g. towing the search boat), since you'll need low gears for starting and high gears for cruise, but it doesn't make much sense to have it on the PPV. I'll be interested to see if there's complaints about it short-shifting or skipping gears altogether.

It looks aggressive and very tough. I like it.

That was my same thought. It looks ready for anything. But, on police cars I like them to be aggressive and I don’t feel like the old Tahoe’s and FPIUs were that aggressive. Whereas the new 2020 FPIU and the 2021 Tahoe give that aggressive and tough look!

Looks good.

 

I'm glad they got rid of MDS (cylinder deactivation) on the 5.3 V8 engine for the police package, it wrecks havoc on the roller lifters and turns an otherwise bulletproof engine into an unreliable one.

The new 2021 Tahoe will still have cylinder deactivation. Its DFM now instead of AFM.

It does look tough.  A lot of neighboring agencies around me are starting to use pickup trucks. I am waiting for the 2021 F150 Responder 

Looks nice. For some reason it looks more offroad capable with this aesthetic. Getting a lot of GMC vibes here as well.
