When Chevy introduced the highly sought-after RST trim level for the Tahoe and the Suburban SUV's, the Suburban was temporarily left on the side of the court without as much power. The 6.2-liter V8 that can now be added as an exhilarating super power was not yet available, but that has completely changed for this year. The Suburban RST Performance Package allows you to enjoy the body color trim and unique-to-this-model wheels, as well as the larger engine, which has the ability to keenly cook up 420 horsepower, along with 460 lb-ft of torque.
Those who are very eager to access additional muster will be ecstatic with the gain: the previous engine standard was the 5.3-liter V8, that made 355 horsepower, and 383 lb-ft of torque. What the RST package offers now is the much more beefy V8 coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the addition of a magnetorheological suspension. A completely upgraded brake system has seen the addition of six-piston Brembo brake calipers up front, painted in a sleek and fiery red hue. The detailed upgrade to the exhaust incorporates a Borla System, that adds a warm and throaty layer to the sound, while fulfilling the task of improving the flow of fumes for peak performance.
The newer and much more powerful engine puts to use direct injection technology, Active Fuel Management, and continuously variable valve timing, to rouse up every available molecule of performance from the trusty V8. The valves inside an internal combustion engine are used to control the flow of the intake, as well as the gases into and out of the combustion chamber. Due to the popularity and great reception of the Tahoe RST Model, Chevy was heavily influenced to manufacture a Suburban that offered more in the power department, and will continue to devote time to developing models with different performance combinations to meet the current market's needs. This new Suburban RST will sport a towing capability of around 8,100 pounds, and a trip to the lake or your favorite camping site in the Knoxville area will be an ideal test of its leap in the strength category.
The added features of 22-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone P285/45R22 tires, as well as black accents on the grille, mirror caps, window trim, and roof rails are other features to get excited about, as well as a zero to 60 mph clock time of around 5.9 seconds. Has this been the year that you have decided to break away, and start running your own business servicing the Knoxville metro area? This new Suburban would be a primo addition to your fleet: there is nothing quite as practical as a vehicle that has the performance stats of a truck, but also lug around more family and friends when needed. We are excited to have you here for a test drive soon at West Chevy, and you can check out in detail just why the SuperChevy Blog calls the new Suburban RST a “Corvette in Suburban Clothing”!
