2019 Chevy Suburban RST Package Raises the Stakes in the Engine Department

When Chevy introduced the RST trim level on the Tahoe and Suburban full-size SUV's,
the Suburban was just a touch left out when it came to the really high-octane goodies.
The 6.2-liter V8 that can be added to the Tahoe RST was not available, but that has
been reworked this year, courtesy of the 2019 Chevy Suburban RST Performance
Package. You get to snag the body color trim and unique wheels, as well as the bigger
engine, which has the outstanding ability to generate 420 horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of
torque.

Power-hungry customers will be eager about the power gain: the original was the 5.3-
liter V8, that made 355 horsepower and 383 pound-ft of torque. The larger engine is also
coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the addition of a magnetorheological
suspension. You also get the addition of a completely upgraded brake system and
exhaust: the brake system adds six-piston Brembo brake calipers up front, painted in a
menacing and sleek red hue. The exhaust upgrade boasts a Borla system that adds a
sweet bellow to the sound, and improves the overall flow of exhaust, while adding
character to the hefty hum of the Suburban.

The engine puts to use direct injection, Active Fuel Management, and continuously
variable valve timing, to nudge every available inch of performance from the V8. The
immediate success of the Tahoe RST model prompted Chevy to bring out a Suburban
with more in the power department, and Chevrolet will continue to invest time and money
into this segment, developing models with various combinations of performance to meet
the needs of the ever-changing market. The Suburban RST will have a towing capability
of around 8,100 pounds, and a jaunt to the lake or camping site will be the perfect and
fun-filled test of its new-found strength.

You'll love the 22-inch wheels, wrapped in Bridgestone P285/45R22 tires, as well as
black accents on the grille, mirror caps, window trim, roof rails, and Chevy bowties. This
is a vehicle that is slated to hit 60 mph in just around 5.9 seconds, and will be known as
the baddest on the block in the full-size department for years to come. Any Mid-Missouri
Powerhouse customer that is running a business will no doubt love to add a suburban to
their fleet: many proud owners have told us that there is nothing quite as satisfying about
owning something that can perform like a truck, but also lug around more family and
friends in tow. We can't wait to let you have a test drive here at the Powerhouse, and
show you all of the available models that will be perfect for your family's regimen.
