This One Chevrolet Tahoe Trim Outsells Them All: Exclusive
6Sponsored Links
The all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe was revealed back in December with a long list of updates, changes, and fresh features. Now, GM Authority has learned not only the popularity of each trim level for the current K2-based Tahoe, but the expectations for the popularity of the new 2021 Tahoe trims as well.
According to sources familiar with General Motors sales operations, the current K2-based Chevrolet Tahoe LT outsells the rest of the trim levels by a significant margin. For reference, the LT trim is the mid-range model in the current K2-based Tahoe model cadence, and features highlights like Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, leather seating, and a nine-speaker Bose stereo. Standard spec tosses in the naturally aspirated 5.3L L83 V8 engine, which produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.
Meanwhile, the top Premier trim level follows the LT in sales, offering standard 20-inch wheels, HID headlamps, and 12-way power-adjustable seats with both heating and ventilation, as well as the naturally aspirated 6.2L L86 V8 as an available powertrain option.
Finally, the base-model LS lands as the least popular trim for the current K2-based Chevrolet Tahoe, although there is some sales volume for the LS Custom, which is a package that adds in 18-inch painted aluminum wheels with all-season tires, a chrome grille insert, and a third-row seat delete.
Either way, the predominant sales volume for the K2-based Chevrolet Tahoe is in the mid-range LT trim. Average transaction price (ATP) for the Tahoe is $55,000.
Furthermore, the new T1-based Chevrolet Tahoe brings a whole new trim level lineup, starting with the LS, and followed by the LT, Z71, RST, and the Premier. The new range-topper is the High Country.
Unsurprisingly, the expected volume concentration for the latest SUV is expected to be the mid-range models, including the LT, the off-roader-focused Z71, and the RST.

I am going to buy a Z71 or Yukon AT4.
I’m going to order either the LT or Premier, 2WD with the optional diesel engine (hoping that the diesel isn’t late availability).
The only real reason the LS was the lowest selling, was because there were next to none on the lots. Really should be measured in inventory terms like Days in Inventory.
This is true for any Chevy product, not just the Tahoe. The LT trim is most widely available and has more customization options than other trims, therefore you can get one at a good price with the features you want.
Blacked out RST for sure!!! We have a 2018 blacked out RST and want a 2021 either Tahoe or Suburban.
Bought a 2018 LT 2 years ago all features.. they annoy the hell out of me so I shut them off while I drive..
Might be upgrading to the 21 Escalade instead of Tahoe but if I did keep Tahoe would be RST with the 3.0 L diesel engine, I hate the 5.3L
