About:

A two-mode hybrid (meaning it can run on electric power, gas or both combined), the Tahoe Hybrid also features a unique two-mode transmission. When in electric or electric-gas propulsion mode, the abundance of torque output allows it to utilize a two-speed unit that makes for fewer gearchanges and thus more seamless acceleration. When just the gas engine is employed, a more robust, conventional four-speed automatic comes into play. This combination allows the four-wheel-drive Tahoe Hybrid to offer refined, shudder-free performance as well as (in the 4WD version) a low gear for slippery, low-speed conditions. The latter is unique among the few hybrid SUVs on the market.


Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4WD
Performance

Our 2008 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4WD tester came equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine good for 292 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. Although this is adequate power for hauling people and a moderate amount of cargo, the combination of the Explorer's motor and six-speed automatic transmission is a bit underwhelming, especially compared to other SUVs in the segment. Both the V8 versions of the Nissan Pathfinder and the new Kia Borrego, for example, make more than 300 hp.
