Room to Roam. Torque to Tow. Miles to Burn. The 2026 Suburban RST Diesel

For families who need abundant passenger space, impressive towing capability, and the comfort to make long road trips enjoyable, the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel checks all the right boxes. This iconic full-size SUV combines the spaciousness buyers expect from a Suburban with the long-distance efficiency and strong low-end torque of the available Duramax turbo-diesel engine.

The Suburban has built a legendary reputation by giving families room to bring everyone and everything along for the journey. The 2026 model continues that tradition with seating for up to nine passengers, generous cargo capacity, advanced technology, and a confident driving experience. The RST trim adds a sporty appearance that gives this large SUV an especially distinctive presence here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse. 

Big SUV. Big Torque. Long Legs.

The 2026 Suburban offers three engine choices, giving buyers the flexibility to select the powertrain that best fits their lifestyle. The 5.3-liter V8 comes standard, while a 6.2-liter V8 is available for drivers looking for additional performance.

For drivers who spend plenty of time on the highway or regularly travel long distances, the available 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel is particularly compelling. It produces 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, giving the Suburban strong pulling power and effortless acceleration when merging onto highways or passing slower traffic.

All three engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The diesel is especially well suited to relaxed highway cruising, where its abundant torque helps the Suburban settle into a comfortable rhythm.

The Duramax also delivers impressive efficiency for such a substantial SUV. EPA estimates reach 24 mpg combined, while highway range can stretch to approximately 624 miles between fill-ups. For families planning long road trips, that combination means more time enjoying the journey and fewer interruptions along the way.

Ready for the Boat, Camper, or Big Weekend

A Suburban is about more than moving people. It is also designed to handle the equipment and toys that come with an active lifestyle.

The diesel-powered Suburban can tow up to 7,800 pounds, providing plenty of capability for boats, campers, utility trailers, and recreational equipment. Buyers who want to maximize their towing setup can also choose the available Max Trailering Package.

The Duramax engine's substantial torque is particularly useful when pulling a trailer. Rather than needing to work hard to maintain momentum, the diesel delivers the kind of low-end strength that makes towing feel natural and confident.

For families that regularly head toward the lake, campground, trailhead, or weekend getaway, the Suburban makes a compelling road-trip partner.

Three Rows That Actually Feel Like Three Rows

Inside the cabin, the Suburban demonstrates why its size matters.

The SUV can accommodate up to nine passengers when equipped with a front bench seat. Choosing second-row captain's chairs brings seating capacity to seven while creating an easy path toward the spacious third row.

That third row is one of the Suburban's standout features. Adults can comfortably settle into all three rows, making the SUV a genuine three-row people mover rather than a vehicle where the rearmost seats are best reserved for smaller passengers.

The RST adds an upscale touch with leather seating surfaces for the first and second rows, heated front seats with memory settings, and a heated steering wheel. Folding second- and third-row seats make it easy to transition from passenger duty to cargo-hauling mode.

An available panoramic sunroof further brightens the cabin and gives passengers an expansive view of the sky.

A Cabin Built for the Long Haul

Long-distance comfort is one of the Suburban's greatest strengths. Its generous dimensions create plenty of room for passengers to stretch out, while the suspension helps provide a smooth ride over changing pavement.

Despite its substantial footprint, the Suburban remains remarkably composed and manageable on the road. Its turning radius also helps make maneuvering easier when navigating parking lots, driveways, and tighter spaces.

For drivers seeking an even more refined experience, available adaptive dampers and adjustable air suspension can add another level of ride control and convenience. The air suspension can also help make loading and unloading easier.

That versatility makes the Suburban equally at home on an interstate road trip, a suburban commute, or a weekend towing adventure.

17.7 Inches of Reasons to Stay Connected

Technology takes center stage inside the 2026 Suburban.

A large 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen provides a prominent command center for entertainment, navigation, connectivity, and vehicle functions. It works alongside an 11-inch digital instrument display that puts important driving information directly in the driver's line of sight.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to connect compatible smartphones without plugging in, while wireless charging helps keep devices ready for the next destination. A Wi-Fi hotspot is also available to help keep passengers connected during longer journeys.

Families can take advantage of available rear-seat entertainment technology, while an available Bose 10-speaker audio system can turn the Suburban's spacious cabin into a mobile concert hall.

Super Cruise Makes the Highway More Relaxing

Long-distance driving becomes even more convenient with available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology.

Designed for compatible roads, Super Cruise can assist with steering and speed control while helping make extended highway travel more comfortable. The driver remains responsible for paying attention and staying engaged, but the technology can provide an extra layer of convenience during lengthy trips.

The Suburban also offers a comprehensive collection of standard driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.

RST Style With a Sporty Edge

The Suburban RST brings a distinctive visual personality to this large SUV.

Black exterior accents and available 22-inch wheels give the RST a sportier appearance while complementing the Suburban's bold proportions. The result is a full-size SUV that combines family-friendly practicality with an unmistakable road presence.

Its design also reflects the rugged engineering shared across Chevrolet's truck and SUV family. The Suburban's platform is closely related to the architecture used for the Chevrolet Tahoe and Silverado 1500, giving it a foundation designed around capability and durability.

Bring Everything. Seriously, Everything.

Cargo capacity is another area where the Suburban earns its name.

There is approximately 42 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, providing room for everyday family gear while keeping all three rows available. Fold the rear seats down and the available space expands dramatically, reaching approximately 145 cubic feet.

That makes the Suburban remarkably versatile. Luggage, groceries, sports equipment, camping supplies, tools, and larger items can all find a place inside.

Few SUVs offer this combination of passenger space and cargo flexibility. For families that refuse to leave gear behind, the Suburban provides plenty of room to bring the whole adventure along.

The Long-Haul SUV Has Arrived

The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel brings together the qualities that have made the Suburban an American automotive icon while adding the efficiency and torque of the Duramax diesel.

With seating for up to nine, available four-wheel drive, strong towing capability, impressive highway range, a spacious cabin, advanced connectivity, and distinctive RST styling, it is equipped for much more than the daily school run.

For families planning cross-country vacations, outdoor adventures, towing duties, or simply looking for one vehicle capable of handling a remarkably wide range of responsibilities, the Suburban RST Diesel offers an impressive blend of capability and comfort.

More room. More torque. More miles. More reasons to take the long way home. The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel is ready to make every journey a little bigger.

Who Needs Wings? Indy 500’s Corvette ZR1 Pace Car Has More Power Than the Grid

Here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we’re used to talking about powerful vehicles—but the new C8 Corvette ZR1? It's in a league of its own. With an eye-popping 1,064 horsepower, this beast isn't just rewriting the rules for street-legal performance—it’s also stealing the show at this year’s Indy 500.

Believe it or not, the ZR1 pace car has more horsepower than the race cars it's leading. Most IndyCars, with their high-strung 2.2-liter turbocharged V6 engines, top out around 700 horsepower. Add in the new hybrid system, which debuted midway through 2024 and makes its Indy 500 debut this year, and you’re looking at a combined output of roughly 800 horsepower.

That means the ZR1 leads the field with a 250+ horsepower advantage—a truly rare occurrence in Indy history. We’re talking about a VIN-numbered production car outmuscling purpose-built race machines. Incredible!

Of course, raw power doesn’t tell the whole story. IndyCars are designed to maintain blistering speeds over multiple laps thanks to their ultra-lightweight builds, aerodynamic grip, and slick tires. While the new ZR1 can hit a top speed of around 233 mph, the race cars will average that over four flying laps. Still, it’s hard not to marvel at how far production car performance has come.

Chevy fans know this isn’t the brand’s first time in the spotlight at Indy. Chevrolet has proudly supplied the Indy 500 pace car since 2002, and the Corvette has held the honor every year since 2017. This year’s pace car arrives in a sleek white-and-gold livery, fitted with the ZR1’s Carbon Aero Package to deliver track-ready downforce and commanding presence.

Behind the wheel will be Michael Strahan, TV host and former football superstar—not to mention a major car enthusiast with a serious garage of his own.

More Than a Showstopper—The ZR1 Is a Statement

The fact that the new Corvette ZR1 is leading the Indy 500 speaks volumes—but it’s also a signal of where performance vehicles are headed. This isn’t just a pace car—it’s a pace-setter. Chevrolet is proving once again that it’s not afraid to push boundaries and put track-worthy power into the hands of everyday drivers.

The ZR1 isn’t just about going fast in a straight line. Thanks to its aggressive aerodynamics, cutting-edge suspension tuning, and mind-bending engineering, it hugs the corners just as confidently as it tears up the straightaways. With the Carbon Aero Package equipped, this thing doesn’t just glide—it clings to the asphalt.

From Speedway to Showroom—Experience the Legacy

This kind of engineering isn't reserved for race day. It’s available for those of us who dream big, drive bold, and want to make a statement every time we hit the road. At Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we believe the ZR1 embodies everything a Corvette should be—ferocious, refined, and ready for anything.

And while the Indy 500 is a once-a-year spectacle, your chance to get behind the wheel of a legend is right here, right now. Whether you’re drawn in by the roar of over 1,000 horses or the unmistakable sculpted bodywork, the ZR1 delivers the thrill in every detail.

The Track Might Be Calling—But We’ve Got the Keys

Ready to feel that adrenaline surge for yourself? Don’t wait for race day. Come by and let’s talk Corvettes. Take a test drive, hear that exhaust growl, and see why the C8 ZR1 is the kind of car that turns every highway into your personal victory lap.

At Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we don’t just sell Corvettes—we live for them. And we can’t wait to help you find yours.

Want to catch the ZR1 in action? Tune into the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 25, with coverage starting at noon on Fox. It’s not just racing history—it’s a celebration of American horsepower, and we’re proud to be part of it.

Park. Haul. Conquer. Repeat. Chevy’s 2025 Work & Play Warriors

If you're looking for a vehicle that fits your lifestyle, Chevy has you covered—whether you’re navigating city streets or powering through weekend projects. The 2025 lineup proves once again that the brand we love knows how to deliver versatility, value, and fun behind the wheel here at The Mid Missouri Powerhouse. 

Small Size, Big Personality: 2025 Chevrolet Trax

The 2025 Chevrolet Trax defies expectations for a compact crossover, delivering a polished driving experience that’s both practical and engaging. From city streets to open highways and even winding roads through rolling hills, the Trax holds its own with surprising poise.

Its exterior design makes a confident statement with sharp, sculpted lines and a bold front grille. Styling cues inspired by Chevrolet’s larger SUVs give it a more upscale presence, while still maintaining a distinct identity.

Inside, the cabin is clean, modern, and thoughtfully laid out. A twin-screen setup—similar to what’s found in performance-oriented Chevys—adds a tech-savvy edge, complemented by wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and automatic climate control. While some interior materials are designed with cost-efficiency in mind, the overall aesthetic feels well-crafted and contemporary.

On the road, the Trax remains smooth and composed. The turbocharged 1.2-liter engine delivers responsive power for daily commutes and weekend getaways alike. It’s also impressively fuel-efficient, making it a smart option for drivers who want performance without frequent fuel stops.

Beyond its appealing design and tech-forward cabin, the 2025 Trax shines with everyday functionality. Despite its compact footprint, the interior offers generous legroom and cargo space, making it a smart pick for urban drivers and small families alike. Rear seat passengers won’t feel cramped, and the flat-folding rear seats add extra flexibility for loading gear, groceries, or luggage.

All-Electric Power, All-American Strength: 2025 Silverado EV LT

If the Trax is all about efficient city living, the Silverado EV LT takes charge when it's time to go big—ushering in a bold electric future with zero hesitation.

You still get bold truck style, strong towing capability, and a flexible interior with smart storage solutions. The mid-gate system is a genius design—just drop the rear cab wall, and you’ve got space for long gear like lumber or kayaks without sacrificing security.

The LT brings nearly 400 miles of estimated range on a full charge and can regain 100 miles of juice in around 10 minutes at a fast-charger. Whether you’re commuting or hauling, that kind of range keeps range anxiety at bay.

What’s more, you’ve got tech like Super Cruise—a hands-free driving system that makes long highway trips a breeze. Combine that with the twin-screen interior setup, and this isn’t just a workhorse—it’s a high-tech companion.

Inside, it feels more like a premium SUV than a traditional truck. Plush seating, ample storage, and high-resolution digital displays keep the driver informed and connected. The available panoramic glass roof adds an open-air feel, while advanced safety systems like automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist bring peace of mind to every journey.

From contractors looking to reduce fuel costs to outdoor adventurers in search of sustainable strength, the Silverado EV LT bridges innovation with capability—and makes no compromises in the process.

Two Different Chevys, One Clear Message

Whether you’re rolling through tight city blocks or towing with confidence, Chevy’s 2025 utility lineup offers smart, stylish solutions for every kind of driver. The Trax delivers everyday usability with personality, while the Silverado EV flexes full-size muscle with cutting-edge electrification.

Built to haul, made to explore—let’s put you behind the wheel today!

Let Go and Relax: Super Cruise Delivers the Ultimate Hands-Free Experience

When it comes to driving, we get it—sometimes, you just want to take the wheel. But there are those moments—long, straight highways or monotonous commutes—where a little help goes a long way. That’s where GM’s Super Cruise shines. It's not just any driver assistance system, it’s the hands-free driving solution that makes every trip easier and safer here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse.

Let’s break it down: Super Cruise allows you to take your hands off the wheel and your feet off the pedals on specific, mapped roads. This isn’t a free-for-all like other systems, but rather a smart and safe solution. Available on 20 models across Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC, Super Cruise works on roughly 750,000 miles of mapped roads across the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2025.

Now, why is Super Cruise so much better than the competition? Well, it goes beyond just the mapping. When used by an attentive driver, Super Cruise can actually help reduce driving fatigue, keeping the vehicle centered in its lane, adjusting speed, and even handling curves—all the while allowing you to focus more on potential hazards. It’s about making the driving experience safer and easier without taking away control.

One of the standout features of Super Cruise is its interaction with the driver. Unlike other systems that demand you to stay glued to the road every second, GM has designed Super Cruise to be intuitive. The system gently grabs your attention when needed, using a variety of alerts, like an illuminated bar on the steering wheel or even vibrating seats. If you don’t respond, it safely brings the vehicle to a stop and connects you with an OnStar operator. This ensures you’re always in the loop, but never overwhelmed.

Another impressive feature is how Super Cruise handles lane changes and towing. It can not only initiate lane changes to pass slower vehicles but will also guide you back to your lane once the maneuver is completed. Plus, it works seamlessly with a trailer, making long-haul towing easier than ever.

While we’ve heard a lot about other systems, like Tesla’s Full Self Driving, we’ve had our own share of experiences. Some of those experiences raised a lot of concerns—random lane changes, sudden deceleration, and unexpected responses to road conditions. With Super Cruise, the driving remains calm, collected, and safe. It doesn’t try to tackle complex situations—it lets the driver take over when necessary, ensuring everyone’s safety on the road.

What makes Super Cruise stand out isn’t just the number of roads it can drive on or how “advanced” it claims to be. It’s about providing value without compromising safety. This system reduces fatigue, gives you peace of mind, and lets you focus on what matters, like enjoying the journey or keeping an eye out for potential hazards.

In the end, we trust Super Cruise to make long drives easier and safer. It’s not about giving up control—it’s about having a reliable, intelligent assistant to handle the monotonous stretches of the road. That’s why we believe it’s the best driver assistance system on the market today. It’s hands-free driving at its finest, and we’re confident it will continue to improve as GM expands its capabilities.

Looking for a stress-free driving experience? Whether it’s a long road trip with the kids or your daily school run, this hands-free driving technology makes every journey smoother and safer. See how this hands-free driving system can make long trips and everyday errands more effortless than ever. 

Where innovation meets elegance—experience intelligent design, top-tier safety, and premium comfort firsthand. Take it for a drive today!
