2022 Chevy Suburban Surpasses The 200,000 Mile Mark in Star-Studded Style: GM Authority Reports

One of the vehicles we have always had loads of appreciation here for at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse is the 2022 Chevy Suburban, which has enjoyed the success of being one of the longest-lasting nameplates in existence. Enjoying the royal clout of its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and then some, our esteemed blogger experts on duty at GM Authority recently provided the scoop on how this full-size SUV has many times been able to pass the 200,000-mile mark while remaining resilient and ultimately trustworthy!

One of the other great sources that we used was the iSeeCars website, which recently published their decidedly-chosen list of Top 15 Longest-Lasting Cars. These are based strictly upon the percentage of registered vehicles of a particular nameplate that have driven over 200,000 miles, which determined that 6.6 percent of all Chevy Suburban models registered in the U.S. today deem it as the third-longest-lasting vehicle on the market. The Suburban is currently enjoying its second model year of the latest twelfth-generation nameplate, also offering up 8,300 lbs of towing capacity when equipped with the 6.2-Liter V8 L87 gas engine and 4-wheel drive. 

As the wild continues to call and you are looking for the toughest in trailering and hauling capability, the NHT Max Trailering Package now throws in the Advanced Trailering Package content, Enhanced cooling radiator, and 4-wheel drive LS, LT, and RST models will also receive the two-speed transfer case. Proudly assembled at the GM Arlington plant in Texas, the Suburban also enjoyed the second model year’s expanded availability of the optional Brembo brake package, coming at you hot with 6-piston Brembo Brake Upgrade and Color Matched Rear Calipers, available on all trim levels as well as the fleet version of the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban. 

The brand-new RST Model hits the streets this year on Vossen HF6-4 Wheels, with a tinted Gloss Black finish and split-spoke design that adds the perfectly aggressive vibe to the Satin Steel Metallic paint perfectly. The RST Trim also provides an awesome Jet Black interior and Victory Red stitching, monochromatic Black grille with Black Ice inserts, and black front fascia along with Black Ice Chrome rear applique. 

Any driver out there on the road looking for an everyday option that is great at instilling a large-sized mover with the likes of an incredibly special powertrain such as the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 L87 is going to love the 2022 Chevy Suburban handles. Truly defining space with a purpose for the future, you’ll enjoy features such as a first-in-class power sliding center console and being on board the most versatile and advanced generation of Suburban ever. There are six unique trims on tap to fit your specific lifestyle, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels as well as offering up premium features that work overtime to save you energy such as the class-leading and revolutionary Dynamic Fuel Management.

2022 Suburban and Tahoe Upgrades Include Limited-Slip Differential, Improved 10-Speed Automatic Gearbox!

The Chevy Suburban and Tahoe are two of our most popular models here at Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, due to their large-sized abilities and haul-ready appeal! The 2022 models will include new features such as an electronic limited-slip differential and new color options. The colors include dark ash metallic, auburn metallic, and evergreen gray metallic.

The stop/start feature will see its return for the 2022 model year, which is a fuel-saving and eco-conscious upgrade. The pair will also see the addition of a 10-speed automatic transmission, which can be suitably sized to either the 5.3-liter L84 V8 or the 6.2-liter L87 V8 gas engines. It will also be paired with Chevy’s controlled overdrive and Traction Select System. The new transmission allows for much simpler calibration needed for the transmission and will have the ability to enable necessary OTA updates as they arise.

This provides the ability to fix bugs and significantly improve the most important performance elements that keep you safe on the road. Spacious, well-equipped, and offering several different engine choices, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe has tons of great new features for the new year’s model. It has a standard 12-inch digital driver and reverse automatic braking which is now available in the top two trim levels. The Enhanced Trailer View is now offered in the two upper trims, and the Z71 is now eligible for an Off-Road Performance package.

The 2022 Suburban features a lineup of very strong engines: the new addition this year of 6.2-liter V8 engines across the board. You’ll find seating for 7 to 9 passengers and more cargo space than any other SUV available. The Suburban’s high towing capacity, comfortable ride, and awesome ability to haul make it a top choice for many drivers, especially the ones who out there who prefer larger SUV’s.

The interior does a great job of filtering out much of the road and wind noise and passengers will appreciate the 12.6-inch touchscreens for entertainment and driving mode view for navigation.

This transmission delivers fast, yet smooth shifting and feels as if there is enough power to spare when you are under pressure to accelerate! The Suburban is also well-recognized for soaking up bumps and dips in the pavement, especially during drives with rough terrain.

2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban Will Once Again Feature Automatic Stop/Start System

GM will begin producing the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban with Automatic Stop/Start after they had been forced to temporarily remove the feature due to the semiconductor chip shortage. 

All units produced for the 2022 model year in October until December 12 were not equipped with this useful and energy-saving function. Now that the global supply has slightly seen improvement, GM has been able to re-add Automatic Stop and Start to the Tahoe and Suburban, and all vehicles produced from December 13h forward will include it. 

During the pause in production, the feature was removed from all Chevy Tahoe and Suburban models that were equipped with the naturally-aspirated 5.3-Liter L84 V8, or the 6.2-Liter L87 V8, and did not affect models equipped with the 3.0-liter I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. Both the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban are produced at the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas along with the GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe is a customer favorite for good reason. It offers roomy seating, class-leading fuel economy from the diesel engine, and an ideally expansive cargo area. Now standard in every model for 2022, front parking sensors, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist, and  Buckle to Drive feature add extra safety. In every trim except the base level, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and Google infotainment system are now standard. The off-road and wildly popular Z71 trim now receives the optional electronic limited-slip differential and the powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine is available across a few more trim levels.

The 2022 Chevy Suburban is the star on top of the tree at the Powerhouse because of its comfortable ride, roomy interior, and responsive powertrains. It shares its platform with the Silverado pickup truck and ditches the solid rear axle for an entirely new independent suspension. There are also some upgrades for the new model year, adding a digital gauge cluster and bundling in some extra useful driver assistance features. The 2022 Suburban has a massive 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, more than the rival Ford Expedition Max!

2022 Tahoe and Suburban Arrive Newly-Equipped With Google Assistant Functions, Ferocious V8

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban both have new options that make them even more viable! The massive space, high-tech offerings, and top-tier drive quality radically set these two apart from the rest. The RST, Z71, and Premier trim levels boast the 6.2-liter V8 ranked at 420 horsepower, fully locked and loaded with dual exhaust and Dynamic Fuel Management Technology. 

These vehicles now offer Magnetic Ride Control on the Premier, High Country, and Z71 trims. This feature has such quick reactions that you can sense how well it adapts every split second. The electronic limited-slip differential has done a phenomenal job of boosting performance while allowing for sports car handling, and power can be quickly shifted to the wheel if slip is detected on either side.

While you’re backing up, easing into a parking spot, or just cruising on the highway during an extended trip, having access to many camera views will help with the split-second judgments every driver has to make during a tight situation. There are now 13 available camera views, with anyone hauling valuable cargo given the ability to “see through” a connected, compatible trailer with a properly equipped truck. 

Every trim LT and above includes Google Assistant, Maps, and Google Play on the vehicle display. You will have total control of phone calls and messaging, audio volume, instant navigation with Google maps, HVAC control, and your preferred choice of SiriusXM Channel! Production began this month, and they will be parading at the front line of the New Year’s best vehicles due to its space, well-equipped status, and sophisticated suspension that makes long trips comfortable all the time.

The Tahoe has been praised for the abundance of rear legroom as well as its towing and hauling capabilities. The Edmunds.com team deemed the Tahoe as “excellent” for navigating city streets, and for boasting taut and firm steering while still letting you know you’re at the helm of a large SUV. The Tahoe’s 10.2-inch screen and navigation offer crisp and clear graphics, an easy-to understand menu, and fast response time. Everyone along for the ride will feel that much more at home with plenty of useful charging ports situated through the cabin for all of your devices!
