The 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban arrive as the third model year for the fifth-generation nameplate and twelfth-generation nameplate, respectively, introducing a number of important changes and updates compared to the preceding 2022 model-year vehicles. Critically, GM Authority has learned that the adaptive cruise control feature for the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban is currently under constraint.
According to GM Authority sources, adaptive cruise control has been under constraint for the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban since the start of production, which began July 18th, per previous GM Authority coverage. As such, some units of the High Country trim level have been built without the feature. The constraint is expected to be in place until October 2nd. Affected units also do not equip Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control is tagged with RPO code KSG, while Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking is tagged with RPO code UGN.
Units of the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban affected by this constraint will instead be fitted with Electronic Cruise Control and Automatic Emergency Braking. Additionally, affected vehicles will be indicated as such by the window sticker with RPO code 07Z. Customers who purchase an affected vehicle will receive a purchase credit, although the credit amount is currently unknown. Additionally, the missing features will not be available for a retrofit.
For the time being, Adaptive Cruise Control and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking are still available to order for the RST trim level as part of the Luxury Package (RPO code WPL), as well as for the Premier trim level as standalone options. To note, Premier trim levels that order these features as standalone options also require the Enhanced Display and Alert Package (RPO code Y74), or the Premium Package (RPO code PCU) and Premium Package 2 (RPO code RGK).
As a reminder, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban are offered with a trio of engine options, including the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine. Both SUVs ride on the GM T1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

Need price Denali colours available
This news is concerning and I would like to know more about the issue. My wife and I have a Tahoe High Country on order, ready to be delivered soon. It is crazy that vehicles in this price range are being sold without adaptive cruise control and there is not a better explanation as to why. Furthermore, it sounds like it is a permanent delete with no intention or option to upgrade to the adaptive cruise control at a later date. It is starting to make me second guess our decision to go down this path with GM/Chevy.
I have the same problem with my tahoe LT with luxury package, it already has a week at the Dealer and they don’t give me answers.
A month ago I was given the Tahoe.
Probably no steering column lock or parking assist either. Look over your build sheet carefully, I didn’t on my ‘22 High Country.
It’s a deal-beaker for me considering all the 2-lane roads I drive. Especially since so many lesser vehicles have it as standard equipment. Was under constraint until Oct 2. Now it’s Oct 27. Any updated info?
I just purchased a 2022 High Country Silverado. I traded in a 2020 LTZ that had adaptive cruise, locked steering column, and emergency braking. Very disappointed to find out I actually got a downgraded truck with a prestigious name only. NOT GOOD GM! The window sticker gave me a 100.00 credit for deleting thousands in options. No active fuel management either. My fuel mileage dropped considerably. I thought the 100.00 was for the inconvenience of having to bring it in for a retrofit. So, basically paid 10k more for less options , High Country embroidery on the seats and chrome lettering. Guess I’m now a future Ford buyer.
I don’t understand the GM use of the word ‘constraint’. Guess I’m naive thinking it was a temporary shortage of semiconductors or some such supply chain issue. In reading other links to GM trucks reference is made to production being ‘constrained’ to 7 or 12 percent of planned production of certain models for perhaps the entire year, orders not being filled, cancelled, etc. Sounds like a determined corporate strategy for attaining some goal?
I just purchased a 2023 Bolt EUV and do not have Adaptive Cruise Control. I do have other related options. i.e. gap setting, alert and brake for vehicles and pedestrians, but I am not able to utilize these options without Adaptive Cruise Control. I would have to go to an aftermarket kit for these functions to operate. You would think a company the size of General Motors would be able to provide the same service.
This is very frustrating indeed. I just got the 2022 Z71 tahoe (~71000usd) and while it does display the gap adjustment on the dashboard, it does not work at all. My wife has a much smaller, a bit older, and much cheaper Honda SUV (24000usd) and her adaptive cruise control works very well. My brother has a mazda cx60, a bit older, cheaper (40000usd) and his adaptive cruise control works flawlessly. You can’t really make any sense of this, it is just ridiculous.

I wish I had seen this before I spent 81k for a Tahoe Primer. NO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. Very deceptive marketing on GMs part. Hey good news you get all the graphical feedback just like my Denali Pickup with the buttons to active adaptive cruise and adjust the gap but it is not there. Even the window sticker is misleading with a $1625 dollar enhanced display and alert package (must be the button and graphical screens for adjusting the gap that does nothing you are buying for all that money.) Then there is the features on the window sticker discribed as included which are: “following distance indicator” packaged in with a list of safety features including forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, automatic emergency braking, Lane keeping assist w/lane departure warning, lane change alert w/lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, rear pedestrian alert, and,….wait for it….no adaptive cruise control !!!!!!!! I bet this is all my design, strategic marketing with who knows how many people are fooled by this comprenhensive list of features and options If no retrofit is available I expect a class action lawsuit forthcomming.
