I feel the Z71 is a much nicer looking trim level than premier. its a shame
I agree with you 100% about how you I feel about Premier and High Country trims, that’s why I purchased two weeks a ago a 2021 Tahoe Z71... I’m happy, but I’m not happy since to be truly happy as you probable I would need the 420HP Of the 6.2L engine which as you said it’s only available now for the 2021 Tahoe High Country. My ideal choice for a 2021 Tahoe is not available Yet, because everyone would buy that configuration and they would stop selling High Country and Premiere configurations. Indeed, if you save $3,000 on the 4WD option and go for a sporty RWD featuring the mighty 10 speed 6.2L and have a modern / sleek look with the one offered by the RST trim and its tropical wheels basically you have a bitching 2021 Tahoe with 420HP a great look for less money than a 5.3L 2021 Tahoe Z71. My recommendation to all the friends of the forum is wait for the RST that sooner or later it will become available and you will get more value for the bucks! I bought my Z71 and I’m happy with the 10 speed transmission, but every time i turned the car on I don’t hear the noise of the 6.2L V8 engine and the power is some how there, but nothing to make you smile... The thing that instead I really like about my Z71 is the color, indeed the new color graywood metallic in combination with black wheels and the black grills gives really a Odeon unique look, it so sleek and everyone looks at it when I drive around. So I have the look, but not the horse powers which will come with the RST 6.2 RW. For five years I’ll drive this, next time I’ll go for the 6.2L regardless, but this time I couldn’t buy a 2020 6.2L since the interior was so outdated and the 2021 High Country with its 79K price tag was just unjustifiable under the circumstances since I’m not a big fan of shiny chrome wheels and to change those to black would cost another 3 grands + installation and probably 3/4 weeks to get the right rims in.
