According to GM, the new Rally Sport Truck package will drop the 6.2-liter V-8 found in the GMC Yukon Denali into the Tahoes engine compartment. With the additional 65 horsepower, the Tahoe will launch to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Still, such a speedy zero to sixty time wouldnt necessarily come from an additional 75 horsepower. However, if owners opt to further the vehicles performance, they can squeeze out an additional 10 horsepower by ordering an optional Borla exhaust system. Currently found in the Camaro ZL1, this high performance transmission allows for improved acceleration thanks to shorter gearing and will be a standard pairing with the 6.2-liter V-8 option.

To get it, one must first purchase the RST, which opens the gate for the Performance package, technically making it the Tahoe RST Performance package. It looks nice, but heres where things get interesting: An optional Performance package will be offered, but for the Tahoe only. Although GM isnt done putting the truck through its paces, at this point its comfortable quoting a 5.7-second zero-to-60-mph time; the tow rating for the Tahoe RST with the Performance package is 8400 pounds. But Suburban buyers cant get the Performance package (6.2-liter V-8, 10-speed automatic, Magnetic Ride Control dampers bundled together) from the factory as a package, no matter how much cash they wave around. The ongoing industry-wide effort to imbue bulky full-size SUVs with styling cues and driving dynamics that intrinsically belie their hefty, oversize stature gains momentum with Chevrolets announcement of RST packages for the Tahoe and the Suburban.
