I am building a High Country 2025 tahoe and I'm not a fan of their packages and add-on items in terms of how they are added/packaged together. For example, If I select the option to add the rear camera mirror, it adds the rear media system, as well, which I don't want.

To be a bit more specific, I'm looking for a 2025 HC that has air suspension but no media screens. I've found a decent amount of vehicles that have what I want (color, wheels and air suspension) but those options all seem to include rear media screens.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how else to search/build so I can have the tahoes with rear media eliminated from the build results?

I dont think its possible. Do you have a good salesman? If so, ask them.

Online build sites have been known to be incorrect, though.

The ‘21-‘24 build configurator was a lot more flexible than the ‘25. Albeit some options were in packages, but there wasn’t the crazy restrictions we’re seeing on the ‘25.

Currently they won’t let you get a diesel without other options i.e. super cruise and they won’t let you get the diesel on the Chevy base trim (LS). Then there’s the restrictions you’re coming up against…

I’m glad I bought my ‘22 YXL SLE diesel when I did. The least expensive configuration I can get now in the ‘25 is a Suburban LT diesel at $75K. I paid $61K at the end of ‘22…

I understand if certain 'features' require something else, but not being able to pick certain things that aren't tied to other components seems a bit odd.

For example, there should be an option that says 'delete rear seat media' in addition to other things you want to delete.

If I were getting more assistance from the salesman I wouldn't care so much about the configuration tool.

Sounds like you need a new salesman. A good one will know everything about the ordering process.

That being said…i still think you are screwed as far as packaged options goes. Even if they make no sense. Its just the way they are doing it now. Dumb.

Especially at busy dealerships., salesman don't want to do anything that require them to research things or ask questions up the line. They basically look at the same things you look at. at maybe a little bit different level, but they usually come back with the same results. There aren't many shortcuts in being able to order something special. It isn't Burger King. You take it their way, or you don't get it.

If you can get a good salesman there is some flexibility to get around the packages. To get a sunroof only came with a 3K+ package with rear seat entertainment. He checked and I was able to add a few options individually that were in the SUN and fun package. Sun roof and Navigation were two. I added sunroof and received as ordered. Saved over 2k

I doubt you can. The camera mirror on a HC is standard.
I want a hc with max towing package. But I can’t get that without a sun roof, which I totally don’t want. That one hiccup has prevented me from ordering two 25’s. I’ve talked to my salesman several times about this. We are both waiting to see if Chevy will unmarry those options. My guy is a 40 year Chevy salesman and he’s asked up the line about this.

I haven't seen a HC w/o a sunroof, but yes, I understand what you are saying in terms of asking for specifics.
