Can now get 6.2 in suburban

GM is adding finally the 6.2 to the burb!! I think RTS package.
  • No, I had a diesel rototiller that could out pull the old 6.2. Great mileage, for the time, but like a noisy turtle!

    As much as some would like a Diesel in a Burb they would probably sell.:W


    Since GM is putting the 2.8 liter baby Duramax in full size Express vans it would easily work in a Suburban. It would probably outpull the old NA 6.2. ;) Ok maybe not, but would definitely be quieter!

  • It's a step in the right direction, but it is going to be ungodly expensive. The RST in the Tahoe is $80k. For less money, you can get a Navigator with significantly more power if that is what you are looking for.

    I do think the 6.2 would be a winner if they would put it in lower line packages.

  • Big fan of the 6.2. I've owned 2 different ones (Silverado 1500's). A 13' w/ 6 speed and a 15' w/ 8 speed. Absolutely loved the 6.2 / 8 speed. I'm begging for an iron block 6.2 in a 2500. I'd even take my chances an an aluminum one!
