Tahoe RST 6.2l V8

and honestly, it's pretty crazy how well those older RST trucks have held their value for being minor improvements over the factory trucks.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Does the RST still get its ass kicked vs. an Expedition or a new Navi?

still? what do you mean still

What years were the old RST packages?

What years were the old RST packages?

i had thought the older RST trucks were like joe gibbs/ roush style, where they were shipped there and finished by the aftermarket company.

they were gmt800s... so mid 2000s

and yeah, looks like they were done by regency conversions.

Driving by McCue (my old dealership) Saturday, saw this poking out on the west side of the dealership. Not a Tahoe, but a Suburban RST. Obviously not Hennessey's either, but...

Don McCue Chevrolet - New and Pre-owned Vehicles in St. Charles

$62k.

I go just down the street to Fox Valley Buick/GMC and the cheapest Yukon XL Denali starts at $71k and change. Their most expensive is $80k and change.

St. Charles Buick & GMC Dealership - Fox Valley Buick GMC

St. Charles Buick & GMC Dealership - Fox Valley Buick GMC

So not anywhere near as expensive as a Yukon XL Denali. Not cheap either, but they're not jumping the GM hierarchy chain either.

link you posted is a 5.3 6 speed truck it looks.

 

[Kensington]

Was going to say, RST 'Burbs just got announced...I didn't think they were hitting dealers until next year.

Looks like a 'Burb with RST wheels.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

So you're just looking for 6.2's?

I was just looking at the package more or less. They have two of them, both 5.3's.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah i think that's their trickery with "rst editioN"

yeah this thread is about 6.2L real RST trucks.

not some dealers fake random shit

 

[Kensington]

Also non-RST front brakes

 

[Yaj Yak]

cool. fucking gm watering down another acronym without backing up shit.

what a bunch of idiots.

 

[Kensington]

Are we sure it's not just the dealership throwing some Tahoe bits onto a 'Burb?

 

[Kensington]

Also the wheels don't have center caps

Took awhile for their Tahoe's to pop up for some reaseon...

Then I go back down to Fox Valley Buick/GMC to get a regular Yukon Denali

So while the window has closed a bit, it (the Cheby), is still "technically" cheaper than the Yukon Denali. $68k vs. $71k

 

[The Beast]

rst packages "back in the day" didn't come from the GM factory like these new tahoe's do though... right?

It's aftermarket co I thought

 

[Yaj Yak]

It's aftermarket co I thought

no. it was, the earlier trucks were done by regency.

now gm has it's own RST package.

look at suburban premier trim, it looks like what these are i think

 

[Yaj Yak]

suburban premier

[Yaj Yak]

premier

 

[Kensington]

So the 'Burb Premier looks like an RST. So it was just the dealer playing games with the package?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Here is a regular "Premier" edition. The RST is an option within the premier tier if IIRC.

Just looked at chevy.com

Can confirm, the 2018 Suburban RST package is only an appearance package

Although, they are putting the "real" RST package on the truck next year.

 

[Yaj Yak]

what a bunch of dicks

 

[Rent Free]

2018 RST is slower than a 2018 Navigator.
