If I were in the market for a new-to-me full-size SUV 3-5 years from now, I'd likely buy one at that point, since it would be in the sweet spot in terms of remaining life vs. depreciated value. I just can't see throwing that much money at a new or like-new vehicle at this price level, since it's always going to be a depreciating asset.

Will find out if people here are cheap or they really like I nice a powerful truck .
I’m not cheap nor do I dislike a powerful suv. But I don’t find it’s boy racer looks appealing on such a big vehicle. I’d rather have a Denali XL.

Blech.

Reminds me of my moms Chrysler caravan ‘sport’.

If you have a grocery getter own it.

I would buy a new burb any day of the week.....but for “performance” alone, I wouldn’t waste $80k on a Tahoe or Burb......might as well get an SRT Cherokee or Durango....

Only the 2019 Cayenne! Very excited for that.

I don’t feel like calling the burb an RST and giving it black trim makes it a performance vehicle. There’s just not enough engineering dollars there and I doubt there ever would be to truly make it a vehicle that could perform. And considering they’ve admitted they cheaped out on this gen, there isn’t much money invested in this. It’s just a marketing tactic to draw more buyers. No thanks. I personally think it’s a goofy new trim and I’d rather put my money on the Denali nameplate.

It's good to see the 6.2 finally being offered on the Suburban. However, I'm not a fan of the RST aesthetic or sport appearance packages on body on frame SUVs in general. Leave that stuff for the crossovers. If they offer the 6.2 (or upcoming I6 diesel) on any trim that can be equipped with 4x4 and the 2 speed t-case, then I'll be back in the market for a Suburban.

Sorry Chevy. Had you announced the 6.2 to be eventually available in the burb I would have waited for it. As of now I'll with my 5.3.

ditto...I'd go with a Denali to get the 6.2. If I purchased a sport suv I'd go with the JeepSRT.

I honestly don't get it...just offer the 6.2 in the burb and call it good. Why make it "sport" or "racer" like? I don't think it will be winning any lap times.

Right, the 6.2 is more for like towing and what not....

I get that the Tahoe and Suburban RST "performance" models with the 6.2/10 speed combo are pretty much Chevy fenders headlights and taillights over a 2018+ Yukon Denali. Other than the fact Chevrolet calls the package a "Rally Sport Truck", there's nothing overly sporty or performance about it. Comparing the "RST" performance package to the SRT's, Cayenne's, X5M's, MB GLE/GLS AMG models out there is like apples and oranges. None of those vehicles compare in overall size to the Tahoe/Suburban platform; hell there's only 2 models amongst those that even come with a 3rd row.

To call it "boy racer" "racer like" or even a "sport" look is somewhat debatable; Let's just call a spade a spade here gentlemen. All Chevrolet is doing is offering a factory option for what a fair amount of forum members are doing themselves to their own rigs after purchase; Swapping out all the chrome trim for items that are black and/or painted to match.

I think it's a clean truck, I'd considering purchasing one in 2-3 years CPO.
