2018 Chevy Tahoe RST - Is This Really a Tahoe SS?

- Handsome looking, nice sounding, and still very capable, the latest 2018 Tahoe still proves it has the chops to go toe to toe with the newest offerings in the segment. This new RST Performance model has one of the best sounding V8's you can buy but those of you who actually plan to haul around more then 5 people all the time may be better served to roomier rivals.

As a car salesman I will tell you that most people don't want a compartment between the two seats in the second row
@@bandidotrucker7092 Most people are buying a tahoe or suburban because of the need for a third row. The center console in the middle means the kids or passengers will have to fold the seats down to get access to the back.
Agree. With two car seats in the second row a console would be a pain.
Rey Garcia how do you like being a car salesman ?
I guess I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
I’m in the market of buying one of these early next year and I certainly wouldn’t want a centre row compartment
Am I the only one who prefers a column shift over a damn rotary dial?
Bryan Callahan nope, I'm with you.
My preference goes to column shift!
Not in a $76k vehicle. Especially if it came from a Silverado WT
Nope. I all with you. I hate that every other American company is taking that away.
Nope thats y i went with a gm truck instead of ram
Nice, but not $76 grand nice.
Yet1moreUtuber welcome to 2019.
Applies to the Yukon
You know who started this outrageous price tag on SUVs?
R R Ford
94k in Canada 2022 :(
As a kid I always thought column shifters were really cool.
It's "lacking" start stop tech? I believe you meant to say "*Thankfully* this truck doesn't have start stop tech"
Hallelujah brother, I think the start stop techs in cars are useless and annoying.
Get ready. It's coming on more vehicles. The 19 Silverado will have it which means it's coming for the Tahoe. The 19 Envision is the first to include a switch to turn it off though so hopefully that catches on.
Why would you want to spend money guzzling gas not moving anywhere?
It's really hard on the battery and starter.
@Frost lmao. you save a total of 8 gallons of gas in 10 years.
Best looking full size SUV for sure
Tahoe is the choice for me because do I or anyone else can live with twin-ecoboost after warranty coverage?!? I don't💯
Thank GOD it's lacking stop/start technology!
This is how videos should be done. No blabbering opinions, quick facts and numbers. Well done
Good review, expect every Tahoe has LED daytime running lights, you are correct about the HID's, but the headlight assembly is the same on all trims.
I really like the Tahoe. If I purchased one, I would keep the third row down permanently and get 60/40 split second row rather than captains chairs. Also, even though I've never had a GM vehicle, I really like that chime when it starts up. Very comforting for some reason.
I really like your reviews. Keep up the good work :)
The secret center storage compartment is where you can hide your gun. Just my opinion. LOL!
Strong Herd but cops know about it
Nah, might need it a lot faster than that
#KUNDALINI Not in europe dude, not in europe ;)
No you do not put your gun there. When the shit hits the fan there’s no time to be wasted for that thing to slide up.
Steering column holster is the way to go. You want your handgun secured and always on the ready at a spot that is reachable and can be retrieved in a second.
@@LouAntonioGiordano A "Steering column holster"... Guys calm down. I had to google it to belive that U are not kidding me.
Great SUV, mine is 08 but it was a dream for me to get Tahoe
Take a shot every time he says competition followed by Expedition
Suburban cents 1935 til now.I own and drive a 1988 suburban c20 column shifter still working after 20 plus years.
Tahoe interior looks FIRE 🔥
Sorry, I’ll take a column shifter any day over that dang knob. Isn’t the reason they’ve done away with any shifter is to give more console space? Well column shift does that, just sayin, as funny as it seems.
TxGMguy82 and it's way easier when having to back in a trailer I can use one hand but with the knob I'd have to use two
Jeez! This guy doesn’t give technology a break, it’s car tech is doesn’t change every 6-8 months like phones and Laptops.
Kadeen Hunter That’s because cars are becoming like phones and laptops. Every brand will upgrade the tech with each redesign. Manufactures need to do this if they want to keep up.
Kadeen Hunter I disagree... Tech changes everyday and auto manufacturers need to follow suit. Otherwise they're losing out on sales
It’s still the automotive industry, we know for a fact that automakers update in car tech with redesigns or resfreshed models! So asking for crisper display in a now 3-4 years old vehicle with no significant overhaul... is a bit much.
smile cute Why am I going to pay extra for something that should already be there?
Redline Reviews yes but manufacturers don’t redesign there vehicles every year like phones, laptops etc so that’s unrealistic. Most of the time redesigns don’t happen for 4-5 years.
Your reviews are so biased. If technology mattered so much, why would the most outdated brand (Toyota) be the #1 selling in the nation?? You need to focus on the other important key features man.
I don't think Toyota is an outdated brand. I think the brand is traditional and the technology is actually there at Toyota with the technology the brand gave to its previous gen Corolla including standard LED headlamps that are optional on some Mercedes-Benz.
He’s literally just telling you what it has and what it’s lacking. He’s doing his job
Number one selling in what country? Definitely not the US
Pat Calhoun in the world
I can't wait to see the 2020 Chevy Tahoe
Durango srt is a dream, if I have kids i will trade my charger in. But I don't like kids right now.
Jaylen Bond 🤣 “I don’t like kids right now”
As if you’ll wake up one morning and say “you know what, I like kids now. Honey let’s have a baby”😂
PROTOSTAR I'm not lying maybe one day I will change. Lol
Armando Sturzenegger old enough the have kids and take care of them.
007 Do you have kids now lol?
Jailene Alvarez nope still not a fan of them yet.
The amount of times you siad expedition 😂
floyd watt
I thought the Durango was a class smaller? Granted there is a 6 in. difference between the expedition and this, so I could be wrong.
Anthony Weeks It's a full class smaller.
floyd watt the durango is not even close to being in the same size...
amgGaming
Ok thank you. Thats what I was thinking, for the most part, 6 in. of length would normally put you in a different class. But the expedition and the tahoe compete in this class so it threw me off.
Aaron Glisson okay, maybe it was a bit excessive but we just drove the Expedition so it was fresh on our minds ;)
I had a Tahoe. Liked it so much.
I didnt remember wanting to
Ever give it back ?
I love this car hope 1 day I will get one
this is the last truck that should be getting criticized, if you want more cupholders in the back, get the bench seating so you have the foldable console the middle... also, the third row situation is false in the suburban, in the suburban, you the floor is not as in your face, because the suspension is further back. The leg room in the suburban is better.
Thanks for saying that. I was mumbling to my phone like an absolute twat when he said that. My burb definitely has third row legroom.
Can't wait for the next Tahoe Limited
Damn that thing gets up and goes
Great review sofan
Tahoe and all GM SUV’s are for those who love the brand and trucks. GM always rolls out their full size segment first. That is why GM’s SUV line up is always “behind” even though they were ahead. I love how the first people to talk down GM’s trucks are those who don’t even own a full size SUV or know anything about trucks. I’m not a GM fanboy I owned an expedition and it was garbage. The only reason the expedition is a better vehicle at the moment is because it finally took Ford 3 years to make something to actually compete with a Tahoe. Just wait until the new Tahoe rolls out.
The trucks were actually suppose to come out same time. They got scared of the new Ram and jumped the gun.
Guess they learned not to do that again
5:30 Drivers side grab handle is an option on high level trims, or you can just buy it from the dealer for lower level trims.
The interior space in these tahoes always cracks me up. Honestly amazing they can make an interior so small out of such a big SUV
O.K. but why compare this Tahoe RST to any Ford with a V6 and less Tow weight... You know you love and want this package.. With GM you can move up to another GM Brand for the options you may want.. Chevy is for everyone and not just a few... This is a Great package that the Federal Government and Security prefer...
Oh I bet the interceptors are even more packed
That interior color ❤❤
I can’t wait to see you do a review on the 2019 Santa Fe Diesel and also the Subaru Viziv 7. Great reviews as always. Keep up the fantastic work. 👌🏻
I bought a 2016 brand new LS tahoe.. $42,000 OUT THE DOOR and that included after market leather added by dealership... I LOVE THE TRUCK! It may not be an RST.. but its HALF The price!!!! better value for the money... If you want Borla exhaust or Brembo breaks.. just do aftermarket! Much cheaper.... yea, no 6.2 engine... but your MPG suffers too.
I get 18 MPG combined with my LS tahoe... Much better than 14 MPG with the RST!
All doors sounds pretty solid 😄
I like your reviews generally although you did kind of sound like a Ford salesman in this one. As a long term Tahoe owner (in my second now over 400k miles combined) and former ford employee, I can confidently say the Tahoe is the best that money can buy. The key ingredients you glossed over in your comparisons to the competition are the superior LS engine and the drivetrain which has dominated the market in both performance and reliability for over 30 years.
He has a distinct hate for GM. Not surprised. If you’re going to be a car reviewer you need to drop the bias.
Rex Striggow you sound like a fan boy
Rex Striggow he used to work at a Ford dealer.
Craystuff You got me! 4 years in a Ford dealership will do that to ya.
I don't understand why people are complaining that the rst "isnt a real performance suv".........
Well thats because it was never made to be wise ass. And this was released in 2015. The expedition was released last year. So obviously there will be better things in the expedition compared to the tahoe. Although nothing beats GM V8's and style
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'm so glad someone finally pointed out my biggest issue with these GM trucks. These things have been reviewed dozens and dozens of times and the reviewers go on and on again about how roomy and comfortable they are.
People I talk with on the street say that if you just get the Suburban or XL version you'll have the extra legroom. Thanks for letting the world know that's not true. They've got a HUGE cult following but you're paying for a full sized SUV and you're getting compact SUV room in a casket carrier size package. The second and definitely the third row seat room is criminal in this segment ;-D The room in the Sequioa, Expedition and Armada all beat the room in these GM trucks. I even find the Atlas to be really comfortable and I'm over six feet tall.
Beautiful rims
The 3rd row was kinda ok for me. Now I’m 5’9 and I was back their for 6 hours.
You forgot the power folding second row seats to access the third row, the buttons are just behind the headrests and above the driver center console. Perfect for teenagers as the front seats are usually not all the way back unless you have very large adults. Plus this is a "family hauler" for those of us who refuse to drive a minivan. The third row has been raised to allow for the power folding seats that lay flat (perfect for kids), getting rid of the cumbersome removable 50/50 ones that weighed about 60lbs each on the previous generations.
Waiting for the 2020 Yukon/Tahoe. Thought the 2018s are heavily discounted right now. Probably seeing their numbers cut by the new Expedition and Durango.
Would you add an aftermarket Z06 supercharger and do AWD burnouts with it ?
The brown leather interior was introduced in 15, my 15 Tahoe Ltz came with the same exact interior. Just obv the gauges are different
Your suppose to buy a full size SUV for it’s towing capability first then people moving second. There are CUVs and minivans that specialize in people moving. That’s why I think the storage and rear passenger comfort is suffice.
come on chevy.. step your game up 👊🏻
Review the Durango SRT please!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Would love to see a proper comparison of all full size SUV’s, Chevy did a decent job on the Tahoe.
Maticalise Music Master check out the motor week channel....they have some there!
Rah L. Thanks man, gonna check it out.
Love this car! It beats out the new expedition.
That axle will definitely taking more abuse then other brands suv, and it won’t break as much... and more cheaper to fix
Very nice content and good review, but you should definitely improve your mics and audio gear to upgrade sound quality and avoid wind and mic noises.
My fully loaded Audi does not have one touch up rear windows either.. and thank God for that because one time it saved me from squashing my kids fingers. I think they do not include it for safety because you cannot see what's going on back there.
Should’ve had some more performance upgrades, and it should’ve had paddle shifters imo
Thanks for the video ..
I'm 6'1 and in my friends suburban I fit perfectly and was comfortable in the 3rd row.
Armando Sturzenegger ikr. So idk how people that are shorter, complain about space. Doesn't make sense to me
Probably because the Suburban is almost 2 feet longer than the Tahoe (which is what this video is about)
suburban has a longer wheelbase, maybe the third row has a little bit more space?
Andrew Schulz yeah but he said that the third row is no different in space, and I've heard the same complaints for the Yukon XL and Escalade ESV. If smaller people are complaining, and I'm comfortable, shit don't make sense lls
prettyrickyd47 He got that part wrong. The third row in a Suburban is a world apart from the Tahoe. In the Tahoe, your feet are right above the rear wheels. In the Suburban, the rear wheels are under the rear of the third row. It's not the same at all.
The amount of times you’ve said “particular” 😂🤣🤣
Nice Tahoe
I have a 08 Tahoe 6.2
My dream car
Sofyan, knees in your face in the third row, Lol. That third row is practically useless.
I mean the people who get them are usually moms and it fits kids just fine and the second row is actually really spacious idk why he had the seats that far back they go back super far
I want one these bad
Gorgeous scenery. Looks like my hometown of Binghamton NY. Where is this?
It's a overgrown TrailBlazer SS
Drove one of these recently. Ample power, but it still feels like a tank. Very disappointed by the lack of paddle shifting in a "high performance SUV."
Gm has been behind the times with their interiors for a decade now.
Will you be doing a review of the 2019 Honda Pilot?
I thought these were getting the magenetic ride suspension. You’d think the ride quality would be pretty good?
Ho ho ho Ha Ha Ha. Do you hear the santa robot laugh at 15:00 lol keep up the good work guy just giving you a hARD time
Gosh the way it picks up and go. 😭
Is the take off slower than expedition even in 4 wheel drive?
I love you your the best reviewer
what cameras are you using ?
How about fuel efficiency in comparison to other big SUVs?
I wish the third row was as spacious as the traverse and enclave
"I kinda would highly recommend it, for sure." Free waffles today.
led running lights were always standard
Can you please review a MK7.5 GTI? I really want to know how it is to drive as i'm intrested in getting one
I'm looking to get one, think I'll stick to getting a srt Durango
He never got tired of saying expedition
From an angle it looks like an explorer in the front
How is that rally???
Reminds me of the old 2000 Tahoe limited
nice review like like like car!
I felt so old watching this.
GM needs the trailblazer ss back
I'm pretty sure k&n is making a black hawk Cai for this suv
This is the dashboard that should’ve been in the old and new Silverado
Like some competitors
Can you please do an review on the Dodge Durango SRT. Not the carshow either.
What about the new Durango SRT? The Chevy or Dodge?
Excellent suv
I wish they made a Tahoe XL
That's what the Suburban is.
@DisneyMusicVideos yes but they don't call it that....
In Saudi Arabia this car is seen everywhere.
No discussion of mag ride. Is it any good?
Surprised they are still using column shifter
No power folding Mirrors?
What's with a ll the storage talk...what are people storing in their car and why do you need more than one cup holder per seat?
The 18 ss Tahoe is sweet
The radio sucks but
You can easily change stereo
GM makes some good supercharged powertrains. I think they are really missing the enthusiast group by not offering them on their trucks and large SUVs.
