    Saw this at the dealer this morning

    I got one of those. It was something like $11k off sticker with the Costco card. Expensive? For SURE! If you want something that size there aren’t a lot of other options.

    Brake Upgrade

    That makes a lot of sense and it’s basically the concept I was trying to get at with my (incorrect) weight distribution statement above. In any event, I’m pleased with the increased braking performance with the GM kit.

    I did not know that, thank you! I suppose I could have Googled or something. ;)

    Just curious, how rare is this combo

    One of my pet peeves is never being able to find anything on the lot that doesn’t have an all black interior, especially in silver. I’m just not a fan of that much black. It’s like an emo middle schooler designed it. ;) We had two silver Suburbans with black inside before I special ordered a...

    Brake Upgrade

    Yes, only the front. Given the front/rear weight distribution of the Suburban the rears don’t do all that much. I think they were about $3000 after installation. I also did the exhaust and front air deflector at the same time and it was about $5000 all together.

    Was at dealer no upgrade for Tahoe rst performance parts if I Tune I heard it still stays incomputer

    Yeah, rated range is like EPA fuel economy numbers... That said, the car does a good job of giving the information needed to avoid running out (which I’ve never had happen). I drove one to Las Vegas once and it handled the heat with no issues. I will say, there are a ton of Teslas in...

    Haha! No CC membership here. I carry my clubs at the local muni course and bring my own beer!

    Was at dealer no upgrade for Tahoe rst performance parts if I Tune I heard it still stays incomputer

    It’s really odd how a thread about improving power in a RST Performance Tahoe turned into a Tesla bashing thread. I’ve really liked all three Tesla’s we’ve owned (we still have two of them). I also really liked our Suburbans and Yukon (again, still have a Suburban). They’re good at different...

    Tahoe PPV Deflector installed on 15 Suburban (shorter lower valance that comes on Police model)

    Same part number. I ordered mine for my 2019 through the dealership because GM parts direct wanted $200+ for shipping. Price was almost a wash. I had the dealer put it on while they were doing the performance brakes.

    With that set up you should be just fine with the RST Tahoe. You might even prefer it. The new 10 Speed transmission is really nice.

    That’s a use case that definitely calls for a pickup if you’re doing it regularly. I mean, if you put in during the spring/summer and left it in until you were done for the season you could get away with a Tahoe with max tow. If it were an every weekend kind of trip I’d want a more dedicated tow...

    It’ll be great. The RST has (I think) the same air bag leveling that the Denali gets. Does a good job of load leveling. If you use weight distribution, I’d get that set up and then turn the truck on and let the airbags work.

    Brake Upgrade

    GM Performance/Brembo kit just installed by dealer. Massively better stopping power. Only gripe is that the Adaptive Cruise isn’t as smooth when slowing down.

    GMC Performance Exhaust Experience

    Just did the GM Performance cat-back system on my 2019 Suburban 6.2. Cruising at 70 there’s little to no difference from the factory system. Punch it and you’ll enjoy the music. I’m sure it’s my imagination but it feels more powerful. Probably just an overall sensory thing. Anyway, highly...
