Our Florida Road Trip in a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ SUV

Our Florida Road Trip in a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ SUV

So, earlier this month we had the pleasure of taking this full equipped 7-passenger 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ on our summer vacation to Florida. May I say, and honestly, this was one of the highlights of our whole trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better ride to take us about 18 hours away from our home. Through Louisiana and Mississippi, to Alabama where we spent the night, to our final destination of Orlando, FL.

 

The car was packed to the max, and my son strapped and tucked in (look at his foot) his car seat while watching his favorite movie on the built-in DVD player! May I say, this is the BEST feature of all!! The DVD player and his Kindle kept him busy while we were on the road. A pure lifesaver!! I tried to get him to play a few road trip games, but he was more interested in “looking up”!! This kid did not sleep a wink going and coming back. He usually would fall asleep right after lunch, but not on this trip.

Best Features of the 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ SUV:

• Of course, the Built-in DVD player b/c it kept our son occupied and happy (he loves movies)
• Keyless Entry and push-button start (spoiled here!)
• Wireless phone charging – plus, since we had two going all the time
• OnStar with 4G LTE – the best security and navigation system you could have going on a road trip to somewhere you’ve never been! A+
• Along with OnStar was a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot—excellent for me because I could test, tweet, FB, Instagram, etc. whenever I wanted to.
• Besides OnStar, my husband loved the standard rearview camera system
• Superb interior and exterior
• For an SUV, the gas mileage was spot on

I do want to mention that the only thing my husband was concerned about was the built-in DVD player (you know, my son’s favorite part) being right in the middle of his rear view. He was okay with it being down the whole time because of my son, but otherwise, I don’t think he would have had it down the entire trip. We had it put up when we went on short destinations.

Otherwise, we felt very safe in the Tahoe, and this perhaps might be my next vehicle if I can convince my husband that a Suburban is too big for us.

Our Florida Road Trip

Since we drove to Florida, we could pack up the Tahoe, and off we went. We didn’t have to wait for a bus, a taxi, or a shuttle. We took off when we wanted and came back when we were ready. It was an awesome feeling indeed.

The Tahoe was roomy, so we had no problem packing it with all the treasures we found for Brody and ourselves.

I love showing off family fun. Here are our photos, including our day at Disney from our family vacation to Orlando, FL
