Nissan Patrol 2004 vs Chevrolet Tahoe 2007
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 5.3 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Nissan Patrol) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Chevrolet Tahoe) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 220 mm (8.7 inches) | 289 mm (11.4 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Chevrolet Tahoe can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Chevrolet Tahoe version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from three 4x4 versions of Chevrolet Tahoe 2007 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 560'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Chevrolet Tahoe engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 26 years | 8 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Nissan Terrano | Used also on Chevrolet Suburban | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Nissan Patrol might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Chevrolet Tahoe engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
