Are all Tahoes the same height? (4x4 vs 4x2; Z-71 vs regular?)

Hi!

Are all Tahoes are the same height? Or does ordering a 4x4 Tahoe or the Z-71 package increase the ride height compared with the standard Tahoe?

Thanks!

I can't speak for the Z71. But the LT with the load level will sit different vs magnetic ride LTZ vs regular suspension.

I think they all sit different depending on options. The beauty of "computer tuned springs"!

I would guess the 4 WD versions would be a bit higher in the front. For sure...the Police versions are about 2" lower.

I don't know the answer, but my 4WD 15 Tahoe practically requires a stepladder to get in. Much higher than my old 4WD 07 Tahoe.

In looking at the 2016 MY brochure and the fleet ordering guide (more important & accurate), there is no difference between 2wd and 4wd. Both have a max height of 74.4".

That's what I found as well, Kpwweb. Both the Chevrolet brochure and Edmunds spec page shows 74.4" for all models - regardless of model.

I have an LS 2WD and when sitting next to an LT 4WD, they're exactly the same height.

Yukon John is exactly correct - both the 2015/16 2WD and 4WD PPV's sit at 72.4"

using the unofficial ass meter........my 16 escalade 4wd is higher to get into than the 15 tahoe ppv 4wd at work, been meaning to grab a tape measure but hasn't happened yet.
