Road Warrior, Home Hero: The 2025 Tahoe RST Performance Edition Powers It All

2025 Chevy Tahoe

Not many SUVs can claim to be the trusted choice for big families, law enforcement, and even shadowy characters from TV dramas. Picture this: three sleek, black Chevy SUVs with dark-tinted windows pulling into your driveway. You never know who might step out—perhaps a crew of hard-boiled detectives or someone with a cinematic flair at the Mid-MO Powerhouse

These full-size SUVs pack serious muscle under the hood with their V8 engines, paired with a versatility that feels tailor-made for Costco runs, road trips, or just tackling life’s everyday adventures. A chance to get behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe offered a perfect way to see what’s new. Two days cruising through the lively streets of Dallas/Fort Worth revealed that Chevy knows its recipe for success. The tweaks? Subtle but effective—because when something works this well, the only thing left to do is make it even better.

The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are here, and they’ve packed in some exciting updates without losing any of the features that make them family and adventure favorites. Let’s dive into what’s new:

  • Fresh Looks: Each trim gets a unique grille design paired with sleek LED headlamps.

  • Stylish Wheels: New designs across all trims, with eye-catching 24-inch options for the RST and High Country models.

  • Hands-Free Convenience: The new optional AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading up a breeze—just walk up with the key fob, and the rear hatch opens for you.

  • Tech Boost: A stunning 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen and instrument cluster are now standard, with an optional 15-inch head-up display for even more tech-savvy convenience.

  • Super Cruise: Chevy’s hands-free driving system is now available for LT and RST trims, making long trips smoother and stress-free.

  • Diesel Upgrade: The 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel V6 now delivers a powerful 305 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque and is available with the rugged Z71 Off-Road Package.

When it comes to performance, the Tahoe and Suburban keep their tried-and-true powertrains, including two gasoline V8s and the updated diesel option. Each engine works seamlessly with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive is ready to tackle anything the road—or trail—throws at you.

With these updates, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban continue to shine as versatile, stylish, and powerful options for families, road-trippers, and adventurers alike.

Taking the Tahoe RST Performance Edition out on the highway is a treat for anyone who loves a roaring V8. Even amid Dallas traffic, the urge to hit the gas and hear that engine growl is irresistible. This SUV is a true sleeper—most wouldn’t notice the upgraded brakes or the subtle RST badge, with its blacked-out "T," unless they know what to look for.

For those who want a muscle car vibe but need space for carpool duty, this is a fantastic option. With seating for up to nine, including belts in every row, it’s ready to handle little league practice or a family road trip. Plus, the cargo area is spacious enough to hold luggage for everyone onboard.

Still Dominating the Road
Even with those striking 24-inch wheels, the ride remains incredibly smooth. You’d think larger wheels might sacrifice comfort, but GM’s engineers have worked their magic on the suspension. Bumps, potholes, and uneven roads are barely noticeable, ensuring passengers enjoy a serene ride no matter what the road throws their way.

2025 Chevy Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse recently launched its third generation with the 2024 model, so there's still an abundance of driving thrills to enjoy from this rugged three-row crossover. Known for its versatility, the Traverse already competes confidently with big names like the Kia Telluride and Toyota Grand Highlander. And Chevy has bigger plans for 2025—not only refining its current model but also expanding into new global markets. 

The LT, short for Luxury Touring, comes packed with all the tech and comfort needed here at The Mid-Missouri Powerhouse. You’ll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless charging pad, power liftgate, and tons of driver-assist features to make every trip smooth. Plus, it comes standard with an advanced trailering system, ready to haul up to 5,000 pounds—so it’s as practical as it is comfortable!


The off-road-ready Z71 trim builds on everything the LT has and adds even more rugged features. It’s got standard AWD paired with a dual-clutch transmission for a smooth off-road experience, upgraded suspension, skid plates, extra ground clearance, and an advanced trailering system. Plus, the Z71 adds its own unique decals and styling touches for that bold, adventurous look. Both trims come equipped with a big, bright 11-inch digital gauge cluster and an even larger 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, making it easy to stay connected and in control!


All models come with a durable unibody frame that combines the agility of a crossover with the capability of a truck—great for towing and taking on rougher roads without missing a beat. Despite its strength, the ride stays smooth and comfortable, even on bumpy terrain, which makes a big difference for folks dealing with rugged environments. For an extra edge, the Z71 trim offers even higher ground clearance with big off-road tires, an upgraded suspension, handy terrain management features, and some sharp decals for that rugged, stylish touch.

For 2025, the Chevy Traverse comes in four trims: LT, Z71, RS, and High Country. Every trim offers a roomy cabin that comfortably seats up to seven, with a spacious third-row fit for two adults. The LT, the entry-level option, packs plenty of great features right out of the gate, from a wireless phone charger and comfy interior to advanced connectivity and flexible cargo space.

For those looking to elevate their ride, the higher trims bring a lot to the table. The RS trim adds a sporty edge with unique color accents and bold red interior stitching. Meanwhile, the top-of-the-line High Country trim delivers luxury, with premium touches like a 10-speaker Bose sound system, noise-canceling tech, and rain-sensing wipers. The High Country also includes the Driver Confidence Package with top safety features and comes with a three-year subscription to Chevrolet's SuperCruise, ensuring that this SUV is as smart as it is stylish.

For those looking for the best value, the base LT trim is a smart choice. It comes loaded with a generous list of standard features, all at a price that’s noticeably lower than the other trims. Plus, with the budget-friendly starting point, there’s room to add some great extras like the Enhanced Driving and Driver Confidence packages without pushing the Traverse’s price too high.

When it comes to safety, the 2025 Chevy Traverse has you covered with Chevy Safety Assist, which comes packed with driver assistance features. You’ll get front automatic emergency braking that works for vehicles, pedestrians, and even cyclists! Plus, there’s adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, and intersection collision avoidance. 

For an extra boost of convenience, the available Super Cruise hands-free driving technology is also on hand, depending on the trim. So, whether you're cruising around town or hitting the highway, this SUV has plenty of tech to keep you feeling secure.
