Inside the 2026 Chevy Tahoe: Space That Works Around Real Life

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. Choose the CX-90 Around the Job Alan Webb Mazda in Vancouver can help you compare the current CX-90 inventory, including the 280 hp 3.3 Turbo, 340 hp Turbo S, and 323 hp PHEV configurations.

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.

Life gets busy, and routine maintenance can be easy to push down the to-do list. Still, keeping up with your Chevrolet oil change schedule is one of the most valuable things you can do for your vehicle. From daily commutes through Vancouver, WA, to weekend road trips, clean engine oil helps your Chevrolet perform the way it was designed to. If you're looking for trusted Chevrolet service center, a regular oil change at Alan Webb Chevy is a great place to start. Why Fresh Oil Makes Such a Difference Every mile your Chevrolet travels places demands on the engine. Engine oil creates a protective layer between moving components, helping reduce wear while keeping everything operating smoothly. As time passes, dirt, dust, and microscopic metal particles collect in the oil. Eventually, it loses its ability to protect your engine as effectively as it should. Replacing the oil and filter at the recommended intervals helps maintain performance and supports the long-term health of your vehicle. If you drive a Chevrolet Silverado, Equinox, Traverse, or another model, staying current with routine maintenance helps keep your vehicle ready for whatever comes next. What Can Happen If Oil Changes Are Delayed? Skipping oil changes can create unnecessary stress on your engine. Older oil thickens over time, reducing its ability to circulate through vital engine components. That added friction can increase engine wear and place extra strain on parts that depend on proper lubrication. Drivers may begin noticing reduced fuel efficiency, rougher engine operation, or increased engine noise. Addressing those concerns with a routine oil change is far simpler than dealing with repairs that can result from neglected maintenance. Routine service is one of the easiest ways to help protect your investment while keeping your Chevrolet performing its best around Vancouver and beyond. Knowing When It's Time for Service The ideal oil change interval depends on your Chevrolet model, driving habits, and the type of engine oil specified by the manufacturer. Many newer Chevrolet vehicles use full synthetic oil, allowing for longer service intervals than older vehicles using conventional oil. Your owner's manual provides the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific model. Most modern Chevrolet vehicles also include an Oil Life Monitor system. Instead of relying solely on mileage, this system evaluates driving conditions and alerts you when it's time to schedule service, helping take the guesswork out of vehicle maintenance. Common Questions About Chevrolet Oil Changes Many drivers ask if synthetic oil is worth it. In most cases, the answer is yes. Synthetic oil provides improved protection across a wide range of temperatures and typically maintains its performance longer than conventional oil. Another common question involves switching between conventional and synthetic oil. Many Chevrolet models can make that transition safely, though it's always best to follow your owner's manual or consult a certified Chevrolet service advisor. Some owners also wonder if an oil change is still necessary when they drive very little. Even with lower annual mileage, engine oil naturally ages over time, making regular service an important part of keeping your vehicle in excellent condition. Keep Your Chevrolet Ready for the Road Routine maintenance helps your Chevrolet deliver dependable performance year after year. Along with regular oil changes, staying current with tire rotations, brake inspections, and your factory maintenance schedule helps your vehicle remain ready for every drive.
