Mid-Missouri Horde on Horsepower: 2018 Chevy Tahoe Rally Sport's Truck Package


The Suburban has long been the vehicle of choice for those who crave a rugged ride that will simply not back down to any challenge. It's not just for those who want to venture into the wilderness: the Suburban as well as the Tahoe have been loyal workhorses for those in the telecommunications, broadcasting, and construction industries. If you are now looking for a durable vehicle that can serve you well with an awesome appearance, look no further. Buyers interested in either of these supreme vehicles have the option with the Rally Sport Package to do some awesome upgrading, and see just how fun their new purchase can be in the very near future.

You can add a Borla performance exhaust to the vehicle for starters, which drastically adds to the pleasantly gruff growl. It can even increase engine horsepower and torque throughout the RMP range, which allows for quicker acceleration when suddenly needing to pass another vehicle. Creators of the "Cat Back" performance exhaust, this is a brand whose name has been held in very high regard since 1978. Working hard to improve the performance of the vehicle, this upgrade will make those who love to roar through the streets with a bit of muscular boost behind them.

You can also acquire the 6.2-liter V8 found in the Silverado with the Tahoe's RST, which boisterously belts out 460-lb of torque alongside 420 horsepower. Having a towing capacity of 8,400 lbs is sure to inspire those out there who are needing to secure anything from timber to to giving a tow, and you can even opt for the V-8 package for the Tahoe. When you make the choice to select the V8, you are opting for the same version of the 10L80 10-speed automatic that is under the hood of the Camaro ZL1, and the Ford F-150 Raptor.

The driver will enjoy taller gear ratios that provide more space between the speeds, and you will notice the drastic difference right away in shift tuning. The 6.2-liter also brings into use the GMs magnetorheoligoical suspension: a technology that goes hard to work to help the driver by adjusting the shock absorbers of said vehicle in real-time. There is actually a monotube damper filled with magentorheological fluid, located on each single wheel, and an electronic control unit responsible for the job of coordinating the entire system.

By choosing either of these awesome upgrades, you are assuring that you have a highly precise and extremely fast response ride. Your vehicle will truly have the potential to "draw" force-velocity curve, and the poise and control you will notice as a result is guaranteed to have you excited to get behind the wheel every single day. Here on the lot in Linn, we can show you how to utilize these upgrades to the best of your ability, and how to get behind the wheel of an awesome new ride right away. There are many trails off the beaten path to be explored, and many outdoors projects that have your name written all over them: the mountains and valleys of Missouri are always waiting to be conquered.

Mid-Missouri Milestone Consumer Report: Cruze and Malibu's Scorching Scores

The April 2017 issue of Consumer Reports was the authority for many who are wondering exactly which kind of car they should splurge for this year, and all of the reasons why its better than others. To be in the coveted "Top Pick" category for this well-followed publication, a car model first and foremost needs to have a great score within its own category. Road-test performance is key in selection, because many consumers want to know just how durable their car is when put to the test. Predicted reliability and owner satisfaction follow behind closely, because those that are reporting on how the car worked out for them are definitely an authority regarding how others would enjoy driving it.


Mapping out the finer points of how a car will behave for you and if it will meet your needs and budget is what Consumer Reports is all about, and the Chevy Cruze as well as Malibu enjoyed landing a spot on their Top Ten Picks this season. You may be planning on many weekend jaunts in the Mark Twain National Forest, or have a need for a car that can get you to work quickly: finding one that ranks high in safety is going to be of the utmost importance. For starters, all cars recommended by Consumer Reports must perform satisfactorily in accident-avoidance tests, which are administered right on their very own track. These are set up to provide top-notch protection for occupants, based on crash tests conducted by the government, as well as the insurance industry.

Having the means to predict how trouble-free new cars comes from studying the actual problems that are reported by subscribers in an annual survey from Consumer Reports, and many rely on this data before they make their next purchase. We are excited to be offering vehicles that push the envelope as far as performance, and meet the customer's needs every day as far as safety. When you are out there working hard for your family and other loved ones, you as a consumer want the stamp of approval that will assure you your choice is safe. The 153-horse turbocharged four-cylinder engine is a very hefty additive that keeps you quick off the line, while still just a touch on the conservative side.

You're going to love the attractive cabin, plenty of rear set legroom, and Teen Driver mode that you can put to use on the Cruze. Fully redesigned last year, this car has a big emphasis on technology, as it comes with a touchscreen radio, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rearview camera to help you out of any tight parking situation you may find yourself in. 15-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, and a MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch central touchscreen are all other features that you're gonna love on the Cruze, a sedan that oozes sporty while proving it's practicality seamlessly. Come check out the car that earned the prestige and ranking of one of the best in the nation, and decide for yourself the other fine details of your next purchase!
