By Product Expert | Posted in New Chevy Models on Tuesday, April 18th, 2017 at 4:40 pm
As longtime standbys in the Chevy lineup, both the Tahoe and Suburban are models that we certainly know well. After all, they represent the highest heights of the Chevrolet food chain, and it would be easy to think that there isn’t any higher that they could go. However, the new 2018 Chevy Tahoe RST and 2018 Chevy Suburban RST eliminate that notion immediately. So, what do these special editions have in store for us?
2018 Chevy Tahoe RST and Suburban RST Special Editions
2018 Chevy Tahoe RST and Suburban RST Design Upgrades
The design language of the 2018 Chevy Tahoe RST and Suburban RST borrow heavily from a recent trend in the automotive marketplace where chrome has taken a backseat to the blacks and reds that typify an aftermarket, street-ready look. To that end, these RST special editions eliminate much of the chrome, instead using a body-color grille, black badging and 22-inch machined wheels, along with gloss-black roof rails, mirror caps and grille accents. Meanwhile, both a Borla performance exhaust system and front red Brembo six-piston aluminum brake calipers on Duralife rotors are available as upgrades.
2018 Chevy Tahoe RST and Suburban RST Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood of these RST special editions, an exclusive available Performance Package is offered. This features a 6.2L V8 engine rated for 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to the all-new 10L80 10-speed automatic transmission. It features Magnetic Ride Control with performance calibration, along with direct injection, active fuel management and continuously variable valve timing.
