Tahoe curb weight by model year

Curb weight is the vehicle as it leaves the factory, with its fluids but without people or cargo. Each engine, cab, drive and option adds to it, which is why it is a range. Every 2020 Tahoe has the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8. Figures in US units; model years printed the same share one table, and a package that changes a figure gets its own row.
