2021 Suburban/Tahoe
So...I know its not everyone's cup of tea on here, but I happen to love my Suburban/Highway Tanker.
Chevy just released some specs and photos on the 2021 all new ones. Best features for me: Available 6.2L and Diesel versions. Much better interior with better entertainment options Air Ride Adaptable Suspension (something I've thought of doing to mine) [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKwmM5ZudP0[/ame] It's really tempting to upgrade.

That front end works a lot better on this car than the Camaro, imo. I like it.

So the 2021s come out before 2020 even happens now, a full year ahead? At this rate we should get our 2030 models in 2025!

Yea, I agree. Definitely think it works much better on the Suburban.

I wouldn't mind having a Diesel one with tow package. Bet they want a bundle for it.

For me this would like be a 2025 purchase of a 2021MY if I were to pick up one. The depreciation hit on these the first couple of years is massive from what I've seen.

-- That they're producing it at all but that might be a benefit of the coming rollback of CAFE standards in favor of SAFE standards. -- A diesel? Depending on the outcome of the next Federal election, diesels may be banned in metro areas and beyond using the EU model. Yeah, an off-lease purchase would be the way to go. Just clean out the fast food wrappers and milkshake containers from under the seats and you'll have a bargain all-purpose SUV. |

Chevy already sells the diesel on the Silverado as a $2,500 update (same price differential as getting the 6.1L flexfuel engine) on the top packages. The diesel also gets 23 city/29 Highway in the 4WD (higher in 2WD) so it's pretty efficient. I'd probably end up with the gas one though because the diesel is all about torque at 277HP/460ftlb. I don't really tow anything so I'm more excited by the HP.

That's a fair price for a diesel upgrade with that kind of economy. But I'd opt for the big gas engine for the same reason plus doubts about long term engine effects of the recent 30% biomass fuel mandate. |

It will be interested to see what it's rated in the Suburban which will obviously be heavier in a no load situation used for EPA mileage testing.

It's happening in the EU and could gain traction here. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...uropean-cities https://www.express.co.uk/life-style...el-Europe-cars I'm sure many residents of ten states and counting didn't expect the ZEV mandate either. Especially in California that already has rolling brown/blackouts now due to electricity shortages. An HOV sticker and tax credits are great unless there's no juice to charge the battery and not enough income to use the credits. https://www.greencarreports.com/news...ehicle-mandate I agree, it won't fly in Idaho and won't become Federal law...at the moment. |

Does that mean that if I have 100 cars on the lot, 5 of them have to be ZEVs but I don't have to actually sell them? That seems pretty workable to me. I put 5 cars on my lot, rotate the rest of the stock and I'm good to go.
