RST Trim Level Boasts Surly V8, Adds Might and Muscle to 2019 Suburban

When Chevy introduced the very popular RST Trim Level for the Suburban and Tahoe SUV's, the Suburban was a bit left out, not sporting the same power in the all-important engine department. The 6.2-liter V8 that can now be added as an exciting upgrade was not yet available, but that has now changed completely for the year. The RST Performance Package for the Suburban RST allows you to enjoy the body color trim and unique new wheel design, as well as the engine providing more flex, generating up to 420 horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of torque.

The customers who were so very eager to have access to more muscle will be ecstatic with the newfound gain: the previous engine allocation was the 5.3-liter V8, that made 355 horsepower, and 383 lb-ft of torque. What the RST package offers now is the much more competent V8, coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, along with the addition of a magnetorheological suspension. The brake system has been completely upgraded, along with the addition of six-piston Brembo brake calipers in the front, and the addition of a menacing fiery red paint color. The upgrade to the exhaust puts to use a Borla System, that adds a very warm and throaty quality to the sound, while fulfilling the task of improving fume flow, yielding peak performance.

The much more powerful engine avidly puts to use direct injection technology, Active Fuel Management, and continuously variable valve timing, to conjure up every available unit of powerful performance from the rugged V8. The valves inside an internal combustion engine are used to control the amount of flow in the intake, as well as the gases that are present inside and outside of the combustion chamber. Since the Tahoe RST Model was so popular, Chevy was heavily swayed to manufacture a Suburban that had much more to offer in the power category, and will continue to spend time developing future models with different performance combinations. For those of you in the Tucson metro area that are planning an array of camping trips and other expeditions for the summer, the towing rating is 8,100 pounds, boasting the might to lug about anything your weekend demands.

Other prime features of this exciting new trim level are 22-inch wheels wrapped in 

 Bridgestone P285/ 45R22 tires, as well as black accents on the grille, mirror caps, window trim, and roof rails, all wrapped up in a powerful package that reaches 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds! Has this been the year that you decided to break away from the grind, and start your own family business as so many others have in the Tucson metro? This beefed-up Suburban would be a prime addition to your fleet: a vehicle that has the behavior of a truck, yet can also lug around a large number of friends and family is ideal. We are excited to have you here for a test drive at Orielly Chevy, when you can check out in grave detail just why the SuperChevy blog calls this new upgrade a “Corvette in Suburban Clothing”!
