Tahoe RST 6.2L 10 Speed Trans on the Official Chevy Site

[thirdcoast]

I have been looking at the new RST as I was wondering if it could be a replacement for my 2009 LTZ which has the L9H 6.2.. and a few performance mods..

I think I will spend the $70k on something else since mine will out run and out handle this one and mine is paid for and only has around 40K miles on it..

Apologies b4z. Should have issued a trigger warning.

I'm glad someone caught that besides me. And on a related note... the Tahoe IS a station wagon. It's an old station wagon on a truck frame. Look at the profiles and tell me I'm wrong.

The last body style gm suv's are by far the ugliest and most poorly designed excuses for a replacement for the original and NBS. They looked cheap, felt cheap, were cheap. At least with the new style they put some style back into them.They don't look like soccer mom grocery getters like the NNBS's. And this time, they put technology that matters in it; both in the cabin and under the hood. There us NOTHING that the NNBS can do better than this new breed of gm SUV's, except maybe drink more gas. That being said, I wouldn't trade a base LS Tahoe (even an 07-14) for any other SUV from any other brand. No body else makes quite as well rounded vehicle as the general's SUV's

these new body styles are falling into pieces just like the 07-14 when they hit 40k, the only good GM SUVs were pre 07 models. Buy one and put miles on it and come back and tell me how great it is when your truck is falling apart at every seam. I will say GM does honor their warranty and fix it, but it shouldn't have to be in for work ALL THE TIME. And what about after I'm out of warranty? I sure don't want it then.

Im a huge fan of station wagons, love the body style. So yeah, trigger warning woulda been great....and couldn't you have at least used a GM wagon as your example? Your post was wrong on so many levels.... I might not sleep.

Agreed. The Tahoe quad light design is as horrible as a 60's ford wagon.

Is the 6.2 going to be available in suburban or just Tahoe? It looks sharp but those headlights I can't get over at all. The grille and everything is fine but man.... why the headlights.

Unfortunately only the 5.3l in the 'burb. Chevy is treating the 6.2l as a performance enhancement not for extra towing capability(dumb) you will have to go Denali XL or Escslade ESV or worse a Expedition Max.

I think it keeps the brands from cannibalizing each other a but but it does seem a buy up option for even the tahoe would make sense.

Re, the esky, why 'worse'? Seems the new Expy has nicer interior, better amenities, more HP, more torque, better MPG...? Is there an objective issue I'm missing or it it just a GMC fanboy thing?

Fanboy thing. Kinda of the devil you know vs. the one you don't. Just keep buying gm and dealing with the known issues.
