The 420 HP 2019 Chevy Suburban RST Is America’s Next Super Wagon<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll finally be able to get the 2019 Chevy Suburban with GM\u2019s voracious 6.2-liter V8 this summer in the Suburban RST\u2013an aftermarket-inspired \u201chigh performance\u201d take on the company\u2019s 18.6-foot long flagship SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s silly, and there are plenty of reasons to dismiss this as a goofy waste of gasoline but damn if I\u2019m not a sucker for Suburbans. What am I saying? I don\u2019t even like the current body style that much. But man, there\u2019s just something about Chevy\u2019s long hauler that is really appealing to me. And what car enthusiast can deny being intrigued by a high-horsepower V8-powered wagon? Even if this one might be a tiny bit on the tall side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the Tahoe RST that was released about a year ago, the \u2019Burb will have a claimed 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque from its massive engine mated to a new Hydra-Matic 10L80 10-speed automatic transmission and singing through a Borla exhaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019ll sit on 22-inch wheels with in Bridgestone P285\/45R 22 tires and I like the way almost all of the chrome trim has been replaced with black.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magnetic Ride Control, which you may be familiar with in luxury applications (Cadillac CT6) and ass-haulers (Camaro ZL1), is standard equipment here. In case you haven\u2019t heard of it, this system involves shock tubes being filled with microscopic magnetic particles that are excited by electricity to soften and stiffen the suspension on the fly. The idea is to make the car comfy over bumps and responsive in corners. In my experience, it works extremely well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chevy isn\u2019t making any performance claims for the Suburban RST yet but the SUV is \u201cexpected\u201d to be able to tow 8,100 pounds. Motor Trend says the slightly smaller Tahoe RST is good for 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds and a quarter mile in the low 14\u2019s just a hair under 100 mph. The Suburban has the same power output and only marginally higher curb weight (about 5,800 pounds versus 5,700 and change) so its numbers will probably be close to the Tahoe\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for pricing, that doesn\u2019t seem to be on the table yet either but I suspect Chevy will be asking $70,000 to $80,000 for one of these. And while I wouldn\u2019t pay that myself, I do have to admit I think this thing is pretty sweet. I\u2019m looking forward to listening to it scream.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon may be gone, but if you want to haul stuff and ass at the same time the Suburban RST is… sort of the same idea.<\/span><\/p>\n
