The large-sized haulers here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis always have a very special place in our car-loving hearts, and a prime display slot on our customer-friendly lot! GM is now poised to slap a fully-fledged refresh onto our full-size SUV lineup for the 2024 model year, with the promising light shining directly down on the Tahoe and Suburban. The GM Authority team has now learned that this mighty pair will also offer an active exhaust system, catering to those who have love for proper pipes market wide. The refreshed 2024 Chevy Tahoe and 2024 Chevy Suburban will boast the same dual active exhaust system that will soon be introduced on the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. This throaty new addition offers up a deeper and more aggressive exhaust note on demand, and will likely sound different depending on which drive mode is selected. The Tahoe and Suburban both offer a total of three powertrain options, including the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 L87 gas engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. There’s also the hill and suburban-sprawl conquering 5.3-liter V8 L84 gas engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, and the 3.0-liter I6 LM2 turbo-diesel Duramax engine, rated at 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque to complete the entourage’s to-do list formidably. All three engines are paired with the GM 10-speed automatic transmission, and this potent pair is expected to introduce a completely overhauled cabin with a larger infotainment screen, new tech features, and the turbo-diesel Duramax engine to replace the current LM2 Duramax. The 2024 Tahoe is now in its fifth generation, with amazing driving dynamics and the benefit of still handling like a somewhat smaller vehicle. The Edmunds.com review staff excitedly claimed that the Tahoe has the potential to have the upper hand over the competition such as Jeep Wagoneer, the Toyota Sequoia, and the Ford Expedition. This 3-row SUV with V8 power can fearlessly top up to 8,000 lbs, and drivers love it for its boxy old-school SUV lines. The off-road-ready Z71 version is continuously ready for the rough stuff with its extra red tow hooks and cut-off front bumper. Even though the industry is changing rapidly, the Suburban is still faring well courtesy of its very useful bulk. The 2023 model saw the addition of GM’s Super Cruise level 2 autonomous driving technology, which offers the amazing benefit of hands-free driving on many digitally mapped-out highways and interchanges. Motor Trend claims astutely that the 2023 Suburban is the “hands-down champ for hauling gear and people”, with the optional magnetic dampers really making things glide wonderfully. It scored a stellar four-star overall rating from the NHTSA, with four stars or higher in every category except rollover resistance. Each Suburban trim above the base level gets a 10.2-inch display with Google Maps and voice assistant, Bose sound, and the busy tech-savvy driver’s favorite of wireless charging. Longer and larger than its predecessor, the Suburban now also boasts the rough-road-conquering addition of independent rear suspension. The Motor1.com auto review crew also reflected that “ticking the box for the diesel engine meets you with the utmost in efficiency.” The interior of the High Country trim is a very upscale exercise in greatness, with Mocha brown leather covers on the door panels, dash, center console, and infotainment surround.
