Which Tahoe trim has 2nd row bucket seats?
The LT trim, and most higher Tahoe trims, offer second-row bucket seats (captain's chairs); the base LS typically comes with a 2nd-row bench. Availability varies by model year and option packages.
Trim availability for 2nd-row bucket seats
Below are the trims where captain's chairs for the second row are commonly available. Availability can vary by year and market, so a build sheet or dealer confirmation is essential.
- LT: Second-row bucket seats (captain's chairs) are available with the appropriate seating package.
- Premier and High Country: Captain's chairs are typically offered, either as standard or as a common option depending on the configuration.
Notes: Some configurations on other trims may also offer bucket seats depending on the package, but LT and above are the most reliable starting points.
How to verify a specific Tahoe has 2nd-row bucket seats
To avoid surprises, verify the seating configuration before purchase by checking official documentation and asking the dealer.
- Check the window sticker or GM build sheet for the exact second-row seating configuration, looking for terms like “Captain's Chairs” or “2nd Row Buckets.”
- Ask the dealer for the option code associated with the captain's chairs to confirm the intended seating arrangement.
- Inspect the interior layout in person or request photos that show whether the second row is two individual seats or a bench with a middle seat.
- Confirm that the configuration matches your preference before finalizing the sale.
Verification helps ensure you get the seating setup you want, especially if you’re shopping across multiple model years or trims.
