2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban Top Trim Levels Coming With Brand-New Power-Sliding Console

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban will be arriving soon, bringing along with them XXL-sized excitement, amazing practicality, and a strong sense of American-made pride. There is nothing more fun than new features, and this star-studded pair will come with a power-sliding center console included with the top trim models. 

This awesome addition to the lineup was first introduced in 2021 and can slide forward and backward up to ten inches. This gives you the ability to slide back and give passengers in the rear cupholders or slide forward to give first-row passengers an ideal armrest. From a recent graduate to the growing family, everyone can benefit from a secure place to keep items out of sight. The power-sliding console works like a snap, and there is no way to move the console forward unless you are in accessory mode or engine on mode. All you have to do is tap the button just above the SUV’s rear view mirror to take advantage! 

The 2022 Tahoe is spacious, well-equipped, and has great engine choices along with a 12-inch digital driver information display that now becomes standard, as well as the Buckle to Drive feature added. Enhanced Trailer View is now offered in the two upper trims, and RST trim is offered with a new Sport Performance package. Kelley Blue Book named it as one of the Best Family Cars of 2021 for its body-on-frame construction that offers class-leading towing abilities and an independent suspension for a smooth ride!

The 2022 Suburban now has a standard digital gauge cluster on most trims, and the powerful 6.2-liter V8 is available on RST, Z71, and Premier trims. You’ll be enjoying the all-around productivity and convenience of Google Assistant during each drive, and there are up to 13 available camera views to keep you safe and alert you of your surroundings.

Both vehicles are great for anyone who is looking to haul camping gear or passengers, and a class-leading and responsive drivetrain make them the perfect fit for any driver!

2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe Deemed by Cars.com as “Full of Refinement and the Good Stuff”

Auto expert Kelsey Mays of Cars.com was impressed right off the bat last week with the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 for their overall capability and drivetrain refinement. The new Suburban sports a tall grille bisected by twin crossbars with the traditional Chevy bowtie stamped on. The C-shaped and piped lighting elements provide a bit more in the ways of looks then they do on Chevy pickups, and the best news comes inside! The dashboard in the Suburban is more low-set than what resides in the Silverado and has a very open design with offset controls on different layers and a standard 10-inch touchscreen presiding above.

The second row can upgrade to dual 12.6-inch touchscreens that have the ability to stream independent content from any type of mobile device. With a longer wheelbase and new multilink independent rear suspension, both the Suburban and Tahoe now gain a bit of valuable legroom in the second and third rows, as well as cargo room for the long hauls you may have planned for the spring and summer months. Taking a closer look at the Tahoe, it now gains 40 percent more legroom and 66 percent more cargo room behind the third row.

We recognize here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis that right now the Ford Expedition is the class leader in this third-row space category, and it's one of the reasons we have made such great strides to catch up! In both the Suburban and Tahoe there are now completely adjustable second-row seats, a feature that helps greatly on long trips and when dealing with getting perfectly comfortable and creating more (or less) room when needed.

In another feature from the knowledgeable and savvy Cars.com folks, they had a massive appreciation for the current year model for the indented headlights and split-level grill that are similar to what is seen on the Silverado 1500 pickup. We agree wholeheartedly with this editorial team when they claim that the pair looks just as massive as ever, with the Tahoe's longer wheelbase and extra length making it look almost as big as the Suburban. Writer Aaron Bragman even went as far as to say that “Their styling might be the best thing in the Chevy showroom, with interiors that demonstrate the best in packaging innovation”.

He also concluded that the interior of both is superior to that of the crosstown rival found in the Ford Expedition, especially on the RST trim and above. The switch to independent rear suspension now allows for a lower load floor and mounting point for the third-row seats and the packaging overall for both is more appealing and comfortable than ever before. Changes to both of these vehicles were due to customer feedback about a few necessary tweaks, and since we hastily listened and re-evaluated our stance, we are confident that this pair is scorchingly better than ever before!

2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe Tightly Clinch “Bigger and Better” Promise

Here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, it is finally the time of year where thoughts of egg nog, classics on YouTube such as “Frosty the Snowman”, and cherishing loved ones visiting from out of state are on our minds. This is when many customers come to us and ask about various details and features of upcoming models, and begin to wonder which SUV, sedan, or truck would be ideal for them. We were lucky enough to see an all-new Silverado for the 2019 model year, and now it's time for our large-size SUVs to follow suit and offer up the best in what buyers want for new features. 

The 2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe will both have new LED lights standard on front and rear, along with 18-inch wheels. There will be 9 exterior colors to choose from, and the Suburban's wheelbase is now stretched 4.1 inches and is 1.3 inches longer overall. The Tahoe sees its wheelbase expand by an extra 4.9 inches, and overall length grows by 6.7 inches. Both SUVs are all brand-new underneath, and there is a huge upgrade in the form of a multi-link, independent rear suspension. With the solid axle no longer being in place, the ride should now be noticeably smoother no matter what terrain is at hand. 

For the brand new Tahoe, cargo space behind the third row now increases by 66 percent, and there is 122.9 cubic feet of storage total. The incoming Suburban gains 19 percent in back for total cargo capacity of 144.7 cubic feet. Now both models feature sliding second-row seats that provide much easier access to the back. When you are looking closely at a vehicle that can carry more passengers than average, one of the things on buyers' holiday wish lists was displays: as many as five displays are available on both of these models, and among them is a standard-issue 10-inch infotainment screen that is now the largest in the segment. 

It wasn't that many years ago when hauls that took the family out of town required books and board games to keep those on board entertained. While those options are still a great way to keep people occupied, we all know that the “screen has become king” as far as the long drives are concerned. Rear-seat passengers can also now enjoy two 12.6-inch LCD displays, allowing those not having to navigate the road freedom to enjoy their favorite means of digital downtime. The brand-new 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline 6 joins the ranks of the engines options list, cranking out 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. When the urge to take a holiday test drive overcomes you, don't forget to inquire about the High Country models: this top-of-the-line trim offers the most distinct grille we've ever seen, and 22-inch wheels that are  the best automotive “Holiday tree trimming treat” we've seen! 

Chevy Suburban now First Vehicle to Claim Star on Iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame

The world-famous Hollywood Walk of Fame is where tourists have been flocking for decades to catch a glimpse of their very own favorite star underfoot, as there are thousands of five-pointed stars etched into the sidewalk. It is just as much a necessary staple of the area such as the Santa Cruz boardwalk and Disneyland, it has become a rite of passage for nearly everyone who makes a touristy visit to the LA metro area. All of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis were proud to receive the announcement that our very own Chevy Suburban SUV will have its spot embedded in the sidewalk as well.

 The Suburban is the first vehicle to snag an award of excellence in film and television, presented this past week by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and unveiled at a special ceremony right on Hollywood Boulevard. The new star is situated on Hollywood Boulevard and Highland under the Dolby Arches, adjacent to the Walk of Fame. Hollywood picture car coordinator Dennis McCarthy stated that “It is one of the most versatile vehicles in the business, and able to fit in with any type of character”. He also states placidly that any scene on film benefits from a sense of added importance with the Suburban's presence.

The Suburban began its successful relationship with Hollywood in 1952 and has since then appeared in more than 1,750 films and TV series numbers. Since 1956, it has made its appearance in at least more than one series a year, and at least one on the big screen every year since 1960. Its running mate is by all means identified as the Chevy Tahoe, as the combo has appeared collectively  in 2,500 films  and television shows. Rana Ghadban, CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, stated last week that “For six decades the Chevrolet Suburban has been Hollywood's longest-working actor”,  and billed it as an industry mainstay.

The 2020 Suburban is one of the largest full-size SUVs money can buy and boasts more vital interior room than its fierce competitors Nissan Armada and the Toyota Sequoia, as well as better features in the tech category. When equipped with the available front bench, the Suburban can hold up to nine passengers, with plenty of space left behind its third-row seat for the other goods that need to meet up at destination B. Make sure you inquire about the Premier level trim: just some of the additions are magnetic ride control, keyless entry, front and rear park assist, power-folding outside mirrors with memory function, 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, fog lights, Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound 10-speaker audio, navigation, and power-release second-row seats!

2021 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban Both Slated for Debut December 10

This is most definitely the time of year when we realize how difficult it seems to be patient. Even adults can have a hard time anticipating the holidays, and it's not just the presents that will see themselves under the Christmas tree: many of us just can't wait for some extra downtime to rest! There will be new movies to choose from in the Netflix and Disney + cues, tempting sweets all over the house, and holiday music warming up the rooms. Just this past week, Jacob Oliva of Motor1.com had some good news for those feeling impatient this season: those waiting on the next-generation releases for the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe will officially not have to wait much longer!

According to a new report from GM Authority, December 10^th will be the date when customers  will be able to feast their eyes on this high-riding pair. They both will be riding on indpendent rear suspension setup, providing the ability to offer better ride quality as well as more rear space. Permanently departing from a live axle setup also benefits handling. When it comes to the exterior, GM Authority reported that both SUVS will have a new fascia and lighting, as well as new front air curtains that will help with fuel efficiency.

The Tahoe and Suburban are also expected to ride on the GM T1 ladder-frame platform, which is used on the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. This will deliver all-new underpinnings and engineering, and the new Tahoe will be as much as 300 pounds lighter as the outgoing model. There will be the introduction of the 3rd-generation Chevy infotainment system, as well as a noticeable boost in comfort and luxury during every ride. The new Tahoe will also see the new “Super Cruise” semi-autonomous driving feature, which allows the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel during long periods of highway driving.

As far as the all-important engine expectations, the 2021 Tahoe and Suburban are expected to have the turbocharged 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder, and the heftier naturally-aspirated 5.3-Liter L84 V8. One of our neighboring states that has plenty of open Tundra and red rock to

conquer, Texas itself may even pass a petition to make the Suburban the National Vehicle of

Texas, as shown here! There are more than 200,000 Suburbans on the road in the Lone Star

State, and one is sold every hour and a half. Everyone here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis

believes that Tennessee is a great state for the Suburban and Tahoe to traverse as well:

rugged landscapes, grade A sunsets, and plenty of unconquered terrain lie ahead for any

brave new large SUV owner to tackle!

2021 Chevy Suburban Spy Shots Via Motor Authority Reveal Vital Clues

The Suburban is one of those vehicles that all of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis have a lot of respect and reverence for: makes such as this on the larger side that can transport and haul have won over customers in high volumes. A prototype for the redesigned Chevy Suburban has recently been spotted and shown to us by the good folks on staff at Motorauthority.com, and they now make public a few different clues about what we can expect from the upcoming full-sized SUV.

Chevy is now in the process of completely redesigning the models from its full-size fleet around the T1 body-on-frame platform for incoming SUVs and pickups. This platform is the result of continuous evolution of the existing K2 design, and rightfully exchanges steel for aluminum in the ever-important quest to shed weight. This may result in the ultimate shedding of close to 300 pounds, and the T1 platform made its debut last year in the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. There is a lot of camouflage gear on this prototype spotted lately, but the design of the face looks to have a lot of similarities from the latest Silverado truck.

The angle of the C-pillar can also be made out through the camouflage gear, as well as the namesake graphic located on the taillights. You can also clearly see that there is an independent rear suspension instead of the current model's solid unit, and this should greatly improve all aspects of the ride. When it comes to models that are slated to arrive soon, we are always on the lookout for what engines will be on board. Everyone who wants to be in the know is curious as to what power sources will be at the helm, and as far as the Suburban it looks like Chevy's new 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-4 could be a contender, as it as already been announced for the Silverado.

A 5.3-liter V-8 would be another very sensible offering, possibly even with the more advanced Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology that can take action and regulate the firing of the engine between its 8 respective cylinders. At the very top of the range would reside the 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower, and 460 pound-ft of torque that is currently available in the Suburban RST trim. One of the coolest models ever after taking a solid look back in time is the 1964 Chevy Suburban Carryall: we love everything about the grille, solid-bodied-stance, and ready-to-conquer essence of this large-sized blast from the past. The Premiere Plus version has always had the pleasure of sitting at the top of the line comfortably: It is the upper-level addition that provides for you sported standard cross rails, chrome power steps, chrome exhaust tips, and the new polished 22-inch wheels!

Oakland Press Ranks 2019 Chevy Suburban at Top of the List in “Most Affordable” Category

Many consumers shopping within the current market have come to grips with the fact that owning a vehicle that is off-the-charts massive is totally alright. There are not many vehicles that can make the claim of being able to fit 9 comfortably, and many families, as well as business owners right here on Memphis, are appreciative of the added boost in space. Way out west this week, the review staff at The Oakland Press took a liking to the new Suburban model right away, due to their humorous take on not having any trouble at all finding it in the lot, and also taking a serious liking to the materials used that definitely rival those found in the GM Cadillac Escalade.

With the new Suburban, all passengers have plenty of leg and head room, the seating is very comfortable, and multiple charging locations are on deck to keep the necessary juice flowing to everyone's devices. The Suburban comes with either a 5.3-liter, V8 engine that offers 355 horsepower, or there is the potential to upgrade to a 6.2-liter V8 that is on deck to produce an astonishing 420 horsepower. The upgraded option is mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission, and even though this is a lot of vehicle to get up and moving around, the rewards are plentiful. A highly impressive towing capacity of 8,300 pounds is on hand to provide the hauling ability for just about anything you can imagine lugging behind you. Also, with all of those people you may have in tow with you, it is great to know that the infotainment system ranks as the most well-designed and simple to use in existence.

When you are touting these many potential passengers in your crew, safety features are going to be all-important, and next year's Suburban offers quite a few. Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Low-Speed Forward Auto Braking, Rear Vision Camera, and Tire Pressure Monitor are all working constantly to make sure that you feel protected and safe during every single mile.

The essence of the modern Suburban is not just perfect for soccer teams and the larger-than-average family cargo load; a vehicle this powerful can command its position when the desire to hit the open road with a sense of overwhelming freedom tugs persistently at you during your daily regimen. Magnetic Ride Control is the adaptive-damper system on board that provides the ultimate sense of stability during your cruise, and it has been perfected by the best engineers and track testing personnel in the business. This was the standard fare that gift-wrapped the driving essence of cars such as the Cadillac CT6, and the Camaro ZL1, greatly improving cornering response, and how comfortable everyone on board remains when you encounter any unforeseen bumps in the road! 

Chevy's 2018 Grand Slam Plan: 6.2-liter Tahoe + Souped-up Suburban

From barbecue and blues to family gatherings and Graceland, everyone in Memphis is excited about the arrival of spring. In many ways, there is no better time to get rid of "dead weight", and trade in a car that you were tiring of for something a bit sleeker. This year Chevy announced RST packages for the Tahoe and Suburban that would make the oversize and bulky presence of these vehicles feel a bit more stylish, and you're gonna love the result. The Rally Sport Truck package begins with you picking out which of four awesome exterior colors suits you: White, Black, Silver Ice and Tungsten are the current choices.

A few of the major changes are carried out with the door handles and grille surround: they are replaced with body-color pieces, and gloss-black treatment is applied to a few other key areas. The grille, roof rails, window trim, mirror caps, and bow-tie emblems are covered to emulate a different, much more up-to-date feel. 22-inch wheels with a wider twin-spoke pattern are wrapped with 285/45 Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires, which we sincerely hope that you put to the test on a seasonable rip through Shelby Farms or any of the numerous open spaces along the Memphis Riverfront. Many car enthusiasts pass up the Suburban because of its overpoweringly extra rear-length distinction, and a few choice trimmings were added this year with that aspect in mind.

An optional performance package is offered only for the Tahoe, and it is perfect for the individual seeking to add a bit of bang to an already stellar vehicle. If you have been having repeated vivid dreams of lurching through dirt trails with ease and trading the confines of the office for the welcoming and wild road, you're bound to get pretty excited about what this entails. The GM's 6.2-liter V-8 and new 10-speed automatic transmission are going to assure that you won't be idle for more than the necessary second to enjoy a breathtaking view. The Magnetic Ride Control suspension is specifically calibrated to keep the Tahoe at a safe level while barking around corners as fast as you wish.

The upgrades that have been made here are in place to appeal to a younger demographic, and we firmly believe that they will. You can also revel in an optional upgrade that will get the loud-piping hot crowd excited: a factory Borla exhaust that adds further 7 to 10 horsepower for the rear wheels. As far as the boat and camper crowd are concerned, the two rating for the Tahoe RST is 8400 pounds, which will easily drag anyone's fun-loving power set righteously out of any trouble. Neither of these are limited edition models, and this fall is when the pricing structure and cosmetic packages will be a bit less of a mystery on the lots. Everyone here at Chuck Hutton in Memphis is excited to help you get the vehicle of your dreams, and make sure that any of your pressing spring expedition ideas enthusiastically see the light of day.

The 2016 Chevrolet Suburban Keeps with Tradition

According to Bob Sorokanich of Road & Track, the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban has not strayed far from its roots. Recently, Sorokanich—plus five family members, test drove the LTZ model of the Suburban on a day trip to Syracuse, New York. 

The model that Sorokanich drove was fully loaded, featuring leather seats, 4G Wi-Fi, a host of driver assistance and safety features, and perhaps most notably GM’s Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension, which provides a comfortable, smooth ride to even those sitting in the third row. Additionally, 2016 Suburbans have a 5.3-liter, 355-hp V8 engine, and can easily achieve 22 miles to the gallon. 

Sorokanich appreciated the authenticity of the Suburban overall. It hasn’t conformed or made any compromises like many other SUVs or crossovers in its category. He found it refreshing that the vehicle doesn’t have a “sport” or “performance” mode, and that it doesn’t have paddle shifters. Instead of trying to do it all, the Suburban truly perfects its category. It rings true to its original design from 80 years ago. 

Come in to Chuck Hutton Chevrolet to experience the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban for yourself!
