2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Safety: Because Trucks Have Blind Spots Too

Three-row SUVs tend to follow a predictable formula: maximize room, soften everything, add cupholders, repeat. The 2026 Mazda CX-90 paves its own way. It still seats up to 8 passengers and offers substantial cargo capacity, but Mazda has also given it standard AWD, an available 340 hp Inline-6, a plug-in hybrid option, and chassis technology aimed at making the drive itself worth thinking about. For families around Vancouver, Washington, the CX-90 is worth checking out. Big Enough for 8, Without Feeling Like a Box Mazda's KODO: "Soul of Motion" design philosophy gives the CX-90 proportions that look more composed than bulky. Available Piano Black accents and dark chrome badging can push the exterior in a sportier direction. Inside, configuration is important. The CX-90 can seat up to 8 passengers, with a second-row bench or available captain's chairs depending on trim. Cargo capacity begins at 14.9 cu. ft. behind the third row and expands to as much as 74.2 cu. ft. with the second and third rows folded. With the available 2-person second-row captain's chairs, maximum cargo capacity reaches 75.2 cu. ft. Available Nappa leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic moonroof, Bose® audio, and a hands-free rear power liftgate add comfort without changing the fundamental usefulness of the cabin. An Inline-6 Still Has Something to Say The standard powertrain is an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Turbo Inline-6 paired with an e-SKYACTIV®-Drive 8-speed automatic transmission. Standard 3.3 Turbo versions produce up to 280 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque. Turbo S models raise output to 340 hp and 369 lbs. ft. of torque when using recommended premium fuel. EPA -estimated fuel economy for 3.3 Turbo and Turbo S models is 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Mazda also offers the CX-90 PHEV. Its e-SKYACTIV®-PHEV system combines a 2.5L engine with a 68-kW electric motor for 323 hp of total system output. Every CX-90 gets i -ACTIV AWD® as standard. The Chassis Gets Attention, Too Power figures only tell you how quickly an SUV can move. Mazda has also spent time considering what happens once the road bends. Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body roll during cornering, while Mi-Drive provides different operating modes depending on powertrain and trim. Select inline -6 models offer Sport and Off-Road modes, with Towing mode added on applicable higher trims. PHEV versions add EV mode, with Towing mode available on select configurations. Properly equipped inline-6 models can tow between 3,500 and 5,000 lbs., depending on trim and configuration. That's useful capability, but the more interesting part is the combination: a three-row SUV with AWD, towing ability, and chassis systems designed to preserve some connection between driver and road. Six Inline-6 Trims, Plus Three PHEVs The gasoline CX-90 range begins with 3.3 Turbo Select, which includes leatherette-trimmed seating and standard i -ACTIV AWD®. 3.3 Turbo Preferred adds leather-trimmed heated front and second-row seats, 21-inch alloy wheels, and a power sliding-glass moonroof. Premium Sport raises maximum towing capacity to 5,000 lbs. and adds Mi-Drive Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes. Premium Plus brings Nappa leather-trimmed seating and a 360° View Monitor with See-Through View and Trailer Hitch View. The Turbo S models introduce the 340 hp version of the 3.3L Inline-6. Turbo S Premium Sport adds the Mazda Driver Personalization System, while Turbo S Premium Plus brings equipment including ventilated front and second-row seats and available second-row captain's chairs. PHEV shoppers have 3 separate choices: Preferred, Premium Sport, and Premium Plus. Safety Goes Beyond a Long Equipment List The 2026 CX-90 earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award and a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Its i -ACTIVSENSE® technologies include features such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, and Driver Monitoring, with equipment varying by trim. Available systems include Cruising and Traffic Support with lane centering, Head-On Traffic Avoidance Assist, and a 360° View Monitor. Vehicle Exit Warning is standard and can alert occupants to vehicles or bicycles approaching from behind before they open a door. Connectivity Changes with the Powertrain Mazda Connect™ provides Bluetooth® connectivity along with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. A 3-month SiriusXM® trial subscription and 1 year of Mazda Connected Services are also included. On Inline-6 models, Mazda Connected Services can provide Remote Engine Start through the MyMazda app. PHEV models use connected functionality for features including remote charging and climate control instead. Select models also provide USB-C charging outlets in the second and third rows, because an SUV full of passengers inevitably becomes an SUV full of dying phones.

Heavy-duty trucks have reached the point where their towing figures sound faintly ridiculous. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD can pull more than 22,000 lbs. in the right configuration. That's an impressive number, but it isn't the whole story. For drivers around Vancouver, WA, the more useful question is what the Silverado 2500 HD can tow in the configuration that fits the job. Engine, cab, bed, and drivetrain all affect the answer, and Chevrolet gives buyers plenty of combinations to work with. 22,070 lbs. Takes the Right Silverado Properly equipped, the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD offers a maximum Crew Cab towing capacity of up to 22,070 lbs., which Chevrolet identifies as segment-leading. That's enough capability to put serious fifth-wheel campers, equipment trailers, and commercial loads on the menu. But the number shouldn't be treated as a blanket rating for every Silverado 2500 HD on the lot. Change the cab, drivetrain, bed, engine, hitch setup, or equipment and the towing rating can change with it. Anyone buying one specifically to pull a heavy trailer should start with the trailer's loaded weight and work backward into the truck configuration rather than simply buying the biggest-looking Silverado available. Gas V8 or Duramax®? That's the Big Decision Chevrolet offers 2 very different ways of getting the job done. The standard 6.6L V8 gasoline engine produces 401 hp and 464 lbs. ft. of torque. It's paired with an Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission and provides substantial capability without requiring the move to diesel. Then there's the available 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8. Output jumps to 470 hp, but the figure that matters most when you're pulling something enormous is its 975 lbs. ft. of torque. It also uses an Allison® 10-speed automatic. The diesel's torque makes it the natural choice for drivers regularly dealing with the heaviest trailers. That doesn't automatically make it the right engine for everybody. Someone towing occasionally may find the gasoline V8 gives them all the capability they need without buying more truck than the job requires. That's why the trailer matters more than bragging rights. 14 Camera Views Beat Guessing Horsepower can get a trailer moving. It can't tell you what's hiding behind it. The Silverado 2500 HD offers an available camera system with up to 14 views around the truck and trailer. On a heavy-duty pickup, that's far more useful than technology added simply to make the options sheet longer. The system can provide additional perspectives when hitching a trailer, reversing into a campsite, navigating a crowded work area, or keeping tabs on what's around a long combination. Anyone who has tried backing a large trailer while another person stands outside enthusiastically waving in several directions at once will understand the appeal. The Truck Can Keep Tabs on the Trailer, Too Available trailering technology extends beyond cameras. The available in-vehicle Trailering App can put trailer information through the truck's infotainment system, including trailer profiles and monitoring functions. Properly equipped trailers can also use available trailer tire-pressure monitoring. An integrated trailer brake controller is available as well, giving the driver control over compatible trailer brakes from inside the Silverado. Trailer Sway Control can help when the trailer begins moving in a way you'd rather it didn't. None of these systems changes the Silverado 2500 HD's physical towing limits. What they can do is make managing a properly matched truck and trailer considerably less cumbersome. Configuration Is Where Towing Gets Serious The Silverado 2500 HD is available in Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab configurations, along with different bed and drivetrain choices. Both 2WD and 4WD configurations are available. Those choices aren't cosmetic when towing is the priority. A Crew Cab may make sense for a truck that carries a work crew or family along with the trailer. A different cab and bed combination might be better suited to commercial use. Drivers heading into rough worksites, snow, mud, or loose surfaces may have good reason to prioritize 4WD. Each decision can affect weight ratings and towing capability, so the maximum published figure should never replace checking the specifications for the individual truck.

A large SUV has to do more than provide 3 rows of seats. It has to accommodate people, luggage, devices, child seats, groceries, sports equipment, and all the other things that tend to come along for the ride. The 2026 Chevy Tahoe interior is designed with that kind of everyday use in mind. For families around Vancouver, WA, the Tahoe combines seating for up to 9 passengers with substantial cargo room, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, and available comfort and technology upgrades. If you're exploring our new Chevrolet inventory, the Tahoe is worth seeing from the inside out. Room for 7, 8, or Even 9 Passenger flexibility is one of the Tahoe's strongest qualities. Depending on configuration, the cabin can accommodate 7, 8, or up to 9 passengers. The 9-passenger arrangement is available on the LS, while other configurations allow families to choose between second-row captain's chairs or a bench seat. Chevrolet's 60/40 split-folding rear seating makes the space more adaptable when passenger and cargo needs overlap. You can fold only part of a row to create room for longer items without giving up every available seat. Comfort also changes as you move through the Tahoe lineup. RST, Premier, and High Country models offer perforated leather seating surfaces, while Premier and High Country include heated and ventilated front seats. Those are welcome additions when Pacific Northwest temperatures shift from chilly mornings to warmer summer afternoons. A 17.7-Inch Touchscreen Takes Center Stage Technology occupies a prominent place in the 2026 Tahoe without making the cabin feel unnecessarily complicated. Every model features a 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen, which Chevrolet identifies as the largest standard center touchscreen in its class. The expansive display provides access to infotainment, navigation, vehicle settings, and compatible connected features. Drivers looking for even more information within their natural sightline can add an available 15-inch Head-Up Display. Tahoe can also be equipped with 8 cameras providing up to 14 different views. In a full-size SUV, those additional perspectives are particularly useful when backing into a tight parking spot, checking your surroundings, or lining up with a trailer. There Is Still Cargo Room Behind the Third Row One of the compromises in some 3-row SUVs is that cargo capacity nearly disappears once every seat is occupied. The Tahoe takes a different approach. There are 25.5 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the third row, so families can carry luggage or everyday gear while keeping all 3 rows available. Fold the third row and capacity expands to 72.5 cu. ft. behind the second row. With both rear rows folded, the Tahoe provides up to 122.7 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume. That flexibility makes the Tahoe useful well beyond the school run. It can transition from carrying the family around Vancouver to hauling camping gear, larger purchases, or luggage for a long road trip without requiring a completely different vehicle. The second-row bench can also accommodate 3 child seats, while the center console and additional cabin storage provide convenient places for the smaller things families bring along every day. Super Cruise® Can Come Along When You're Towing For families who spend plenty of time traveling, available Super Cruise® with Trailering brings another dimension to the Tahoe's technology. The system provides hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads and can be used while towing. Paired with the Tahoe's available camera views and expansive displays, it gives drivers access to technology designed around the realities of operating a large SUV on longer journeys. Drivers comparing full-size Chevrolet SUVs can also explore our Chevrolet Suburban inventory for even more space while retaining many of the Tahoe's familiar technologies and amenities. Find Your Space at Alan Webb Chevrolet The 2026 Chevy Tahoe interior succeeds because its size is put to practical use. Seating for up to 9, 25.5 cu. ft. of cargo room behind the third row, up to 122.7 cu. ft. with the rear rows folded, and a 17.7-inch center touchscreen give families useful space without making technology an afterthought.
