Lines Roaring to Life in the Lone Star State: 2023 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban Production Dates Officially Released



The Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban are our two proudly XXL-sized and wildly popular SUVs here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis, and they were all given an overhaul for the 2021 model year. We have always had a high level of respect for the prompt and professional reporting from the staff at GM Authority, and this past week they had the story ready on when production for the 2023 models of this pair will begin!

Regular production of the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban will kick off on July 18th of this year, with both full-size models seeing production at the GM Arlington plant in Texas. The 2023 Chevy Tahoe now arrives as the third-model year for the current 12th generation nameplate and is the larger-sized of the two. It measures in with a wheelbase that’s 13.2 inches longer, an overall length that’s 15 inches longer, and an overall width that’s .1 inches wider. They both happen to be the same in regard to the engine offerings, which begin at the start of the lineup with the naturally aspirated 5.3-Liter V8 L84 gas engine, cranking out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. 

The next step up the ladder is the naturally aspirated 6.2-Liter V8 L87 gas engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Both SUVs are also available with the 3.0-Liter inline-6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, officially rated at 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. All three engines are paired with the GM 10-speed automatic transmission and ride on top of the GM T1 platform, and the independent multilink rear suspension introduced for last year’s model.



If you just don’t want to wait to come to see all the great opportunities for lease and ownership here at Chuck Hutton, the spring is a fantastic opportunity to check out the 2022 Chevy Suburban: it offers up swift acceleration, a very polished ride, expensive seating, and this amazing lineup of constantly flexed engines. New for this year was the expanded availability of the 6.2-liter V8, and this high-ranking and full-on Chevy special was ranked as the winner of the “Best Large SUV for Families” from U.S. News and World Report. The three-row Suburban has a deep interior and seating for 7 to 9 occupants, also now offering the most cargo space of any SUV in existence.

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe boasts a 12-inch digital driver information display as standard, the addition of the Buckle to Drive feature and Reverse automatic braking sees availability in the top five trims. The RST trim is now offered with a brand-new Sport Performance package and is the perfect form of competition to go up against the likes of the Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada. The base LS trim boasts 18-inch alloy wheels, and the Z71 offers a front skid plate contoured to emphasize the numerous off-roading abilities of this canyon and hill-crawl ready model. 

Once the line in Arlington is humming along with the creation of this brawny and large pair, it won’t be long until you’ll be able to give them both a thorough test drive and see which one best meets your needs here at Chuck Hutton. Keep in mind that the turbocharged diesel is just a bit less thirsty than the gas number, and offers up some of the best traits in power source for anyone wanting to conquer the challenges of off-road excitement.
