Anybody have 21 RST?

[avery323]

I know it matches the LT content-wise, so I'm wondering are there features that you miss? I love the look of the RST and the price point feels good -- but wondering if I'm gonna regret getting a lightly-optioned vehicle.

I don't have a RST, but was faced with the same dilemma. I liked the RST becasue of it's black trim and sportier look, but ended up going with a premier primarily for the magnetic ride control, but other options that came with the Premier such as the heated and Cooled seats, head up display, rear view mirror camera, surround vision, and upgraded sound system are what really enhance the daily experience of driving. I think some but not all of the options can be added to the RST. I ended up putting black bowties on my premier and couldn't be happier with the package. Those RSTs sure look slick though!

I hear you. My natural inclination would be to buy a higher spec for the same reasons as you -- there are some really great (and useful!) things to have. I guess part of me is thinking 65k vs 80k (or even more if i got an Escalade which is a whole other world, lol)

I understand the hesitation on price. For what it's worth, my premier with premium package was not 80k. Msrp was 70k. I really think the Premier with options is a good value considering a high country or denali can cost over 80k and the only key differences are engine and air ride.

We ordered a RST in December and got it last month. We love it. Getting a Premier or HC was never an option, so are happy with what what options it has. Sure, there are things that seem cool like the Rear Camera Mirror, but nothing that makes me regret not happy with the purchase

We picked up our RST last month and have been very pleased with it. The 22 inch wheels really stand out. (Watch for curb rash with the lower profile tires.) Although adaptive cruise control, rear camera mirror, retractable assist steps, alert driver seat and magnetic ride control were not offered in this trim, we loaded it with everything except the sliding console (wanted to add a lock box to the console). This trim with the options met our safety, trailering, comfort and styling preferences. Plus the red tint coat with black chrome looks great!

RST Duramax here, well equipped I think and love the sporty look.

Incorrect - 2021 Yukon Denali starts at $73K 4WD - $84K for ultimate.

Its ridiculous that the RST doesnt offer at least dual exhaust/quad tips and power boards.

I have one. First off, I hate chrome. Second, I could not justify the price increase for literally just a handful of things. I questioned if I would regret it, but 3 months in I'm very happen. Wireless CarPlay is huge. The trim is much different on the inside than the LT. Seats are comfortable plus it looks slick.

Right, that's what I said. And you won't find a Denali anywhere for 73k.

 

[BTSRT]

Denali starts at $73k MSRP. I called 40 dealers last month before purchasing my 2021 Yukon denali. Yes, you can purchase a 2021 yukon denali at MSRP. I had 5 dealers running numbers. At the end of the day, I received $6k off which includes supplier.

Lol dont tell me you can't. Takes time and effort.

Same, we got almost 8k off our Denali

What I meant was that you can't find many at that starting price becasue they are all loaded with packages pushing 80k+. At least the ones I've seen near me. Back to my original point, thats about 10k more than a fully loaded Tahoe premier and the only significant differences are engine and air ride. I still think the tahoe premier is the best value across the tahoe/yukon lineup.

The Premier pkg has a lot going for it. You can get adaptive cruise and the rear camera mirror without getting a sun roof or 22" wheels. I really like the look of the 20" wheels that are included without added cost.

Now if they would add some interesting interior colors and the RST blacked out chrome...

 

[BTSRT]

In my opinion, the best value is 2021 Yukon Denali w/ Premium Package - Upgraded interior design, 6.2, power boards, 22's, panoramic sunroof, additional security features, lower production numbers, higher resell values.

LT (2WD) with LT SIGNATURE and Tow Package. I just wish I had the adaptive cruise control and rear view camera display mirror. Other than that, I’m pretty good tbh.

 

[nedac]

I am on the fence as well... trade my 2016 LTZ Suburban for a 2021 Black RST Suburban... will I miss the options....hmmm

 

[Erik23]

We are looking at the RST as well. Looks are subjective but IMO the black chrome and badging along with the 22’s look better than any other trim by far. The interior also looks ok with the red stitching and carbon fiber(ish) looking dash at a price point they makes sense for a Tahoe. Test drove a high country and the amount of hard plastic inside just doesn’t pass the test for the price tag.

 

[Erik23]

Also holding out a small amount of hope they will offer the 6.2 for 2022, otherwise I think we will go with the diesel.
