RST Owners

[Blueinterceptor]

I drove an rst today. I have to say it was nice. I thought the steering was very tight.
Is the steering tighter because of the 22” wheels or because of the rst pkg


Does the rst have the max towing pkg?

Is the RST package, Denali had the same if you try to go faster it gets more rigid or tight.

Nope, comes with 3:23s. Personally, I'll be waiting on an RST until they have better color options available or just make the 6.2 option available on all Premier Tahoes along with the Max Tow option.

I hope I am in the right spot to post this topic. I’ve looked and wasn’t able to come up with the discussion, I apologize if it’s already been posted somewhere. Somewhat new here to this.

Looking at possibly trading in my 17 Tahoe Premier for a 19 RST. Would like to ask the owners a few questions. Had some small issues with my 17 and makes me nervous jumping into a 19.

How are the 10 speeds holding up?

How is the suspension? (Drove an RST yesterday and thought night and day difference between my 17 and that 19. Big time improved!)

Do you have the rough idle in drive?

Is there anything you like/don’t like?

I really appreciate everyone’s input!!

Thank you!!

I bought the RST and love it. Quick, quiet and comfy. The 10 speed is awesome. The suspension is awesome over the standard 2016. No rough idle, ever. I have a few suggestions for the GM engineers: 1. Why offer a cell phone charging plate in the arm rest? I want my arm there! 2. Turn off all the warning bells until I actually need to be reminded. I don't need a bell to tell me to put on my seatbelt if I have not yet put the vehicle in Drive. 3. Sometimes my audio will not connect to my phone. 4. The tiny storage area in the way-back needs to be larger. There is wasted space behind the interior wheel wells - - give me more storage to hide stuff. 5. The left exhaust pipe crossover to the right side is smashed to give ground clearance. Has to be a huge restriction and looks like an afterthought. 6. I would like to be able to control the height of the vehicle. Currently it is set real high which I like, but when I hook my boat up, it pumps all 4 back up high again. Just want to maybe have a high, med, low setting. 7. For an unknown reason, a burning smell when towing. I have heard others mention it. No problem, just a little scary the first few times. Smell coming from AC vents, not brakes, or trany, etc. Not even a heavy load, just a little trailer.

I don't see any exhaust smash in the bottom I maybe looking at the wrong place.

I’ve done some checking. The max towing comes with aux oil cooler, 2 speed transfer case hd limited slip and brake controller. Coupled to the 342 gearing. It would appear that all the parts listed above are included in the enhanced premier and rst model. Just no 342 gears. 323 gearing only. I’m good with that

Note that the enhanced premier is available in all the color except the green. I really don’t like the sun roof and power side steps.

Also note the wireless charger charges my iPhone 8 Plus Did not have to sit squarely in the charger.

I wonder if #2 may be statutorily mandated. Every car I've been in since about 1978 has a reminder chime if you don't put on a seatbelt.

I totally agree about storage space. For such an enormous vehicle, there is comically little interior storage. The center console bin is large, but the way-back storage cubby is tiny and it does seem like they could have found some space along the sides. I figure that this design happened in the depths of GM's recession issues and there had to have been some cost cutting.

Well I did decide, and going two years, a bigger motor and a couple other very small changes; $20,000 wasn’t worth it to me.

I don't know if the first time you drive one of this puppy.
If is yes you will see soon or after a couple of thousand miles, you had 25-50-400 on the dashboard find it and you will understand better.
