Lowest Price: 2023 Chevy Tahoe
One thing the 2023 Tahoe has going for it is price. With an MSRP of $54,200, Chevy’s full-size SUV is the slightly better deal. The 2023 Wagoneer is only a little more expensive, starting at $58,995. But as we’ll see, the Wagoneer is also the more luxurious option.
Standard Power: 2023 Jeep Wagoneer
The Wagoneer gives you more bang for your buck, with a standard powertrain that dishes out 393 horses. Besides strength, you also can’t beat this Jeep’s smooth, refined performance. Choose the Wagoneer for an incredibly refined daily drive.
The Wagoneer’s powertrain specs include:
- 5.7-liter V8 (393 horsepower, 404 lb-ft of torque)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
- Optional four-wheel drive
Although the Tahoe doesn’t come standard with as much power as the Wagoneer, it’s pretty strong on its own. And with its available 6.2-liter V8 engine, this SUV actually serves up more horsepower than the competition. Just like the Wagoneer, the Tahoe takes you on a pretty impressive rollick through the mud, with available four-wheel drive.
Tahoe powertrain options include:
- Standard 5.3L V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft)
- Optional 6.2L V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- Optional turbodiesel six-cylinder engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic
- Rear-wheel drive
- Optional four-wheel drive
Best-in-Class Towing: 2023 Jeep Wagoneer
If your family boat is on the hefty side, you need the Wagoneer. Properly equipped, one of these full-size SUVs can tow up to 10,000 pounds. That’s more than any other SUV in this segment can handle!
Of course, the Tahoe still tows a pretty big boat. With its 6.2-liter V8 engine and the proper equipment, tow ratings reach up to 8,400 pounds.
Premium Luxury: 2023 Jeep Wagoneer
Both SUVs come standard with an impressive list of interior tech and comfort features, but it’s the Wagoneer that will really blow your expectations away. This Jeep’s standard lineup looks like that of a luxury model, with leather upholstery, three-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and driver’s seat memory settings! And moving up the list of trim models (Series I, Series II, and Series III) will only make you more comfortable, with available features that include heated second-row seats and active cabin noise cancellation.
The 2023 Chevy Tahoe is no slouch in the interior comfort department. Its standard features include tri-zone automatic climate control and power-adjustable front seats. If you want leather seating and heated and ventilated seats, however, you’re going to have to move up the Tahoe’s list of trim models (LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country) to get them.
