Ever-growing wheel size appears to be a recurring theme in the automotive industry. In fact, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV will be the first modern production vehicle, both within GM and beyond it, to be equipped with 24-inch rollers from the factory. Now, GM Authority has learned that this monstrous wheel size will carry over into General Motors’ full-size SUV offerings.
The General will offer a 24-inch alloy wheel option on its refreshed 2024 full-size SUV lineup, which includes the following models:
While a 24-inch wheel may have been considered exotic a few years ago, GM design chief Michael Simcoe was quoted as saying back in 2019 that 24-inch and 26-inch wheel sizes were just over the horizon. Now, the question becomes, when will GM begin offering 26-inch rollers?
As for the refreshed SUVs themselves, the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade will all receive styling and technology upgrades for the 2024 model year. More specifically, the front and rear fascias will be revised, and the infotainment system will be updated.
In regard to powertrain specifications, the current engine options are expected to carry over into the mid-cycle refresh. For the 2024 Tahoe, 2024 Suburban and 2024 Yukon, this includes the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower at and 460 pound-feet of torque. However, it’s also possible that the 5.3L could be replaced or joined by GM’s turbo 2.7L L3B I-4 motor, which is rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque in its highest output. As for the 2024 Escalade, the luxury SUV only features the 6.2L L87 and the 3.0L LM2.
All powerplant choices are mated to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission, while GM’s full-size SUVs will continue to ride on the GM T1 platform. The refreshed 2024 models are expected to begin production in November 2023 at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

Twenny-foe’s. Donk that Tahoe! Agree with Mr C. That’s stupid.
It’s only stupid because GM is doing it. Once Ford and Stellantis gets wind of it they’ll be offering the same thing (look at the RAM REV concept revealed in 24-inch wheels AFTER the Silverado EV was revealed with them first). It never fails!
Y’all will pretend GM has lost their minds until everyone else has copied them and then y’all will claim how GM did it wrong and Stellantis and Ford got it right.
It was the same thing with the rearview camera mirror – neither Ford nor Dodge/Jeep/RAM owners could see the value in it. Y’all called it nothing but another GM gimmick to sell trucks/cars until everyone else and their mother started implementing the tech into their own products. Now there’s a Rearview camera mirror in RAM. Suddenly the “gimmick” comments have come to a screeching halt. It is all very fun to watch as a GM supporter, if I’m being honest. Y’all live to hate on these folks and their ability to remain innovative.
These are full-size SUVs and trucks, there’s nothing crazy about top end models boasting 24-inch wheels that will look more like 22s and proportional since this class of vehicle is so large and the latest generation has grown to be even larger. Y’all are just being dramatic cry babies, per usual.
This is a great move GM! This will certainly help bring the exterior aesthetic upscale a bit more on the High Country, Denali, and all Escalade trims which already look good with 22s, but will have better stances & side profiles with the larger wheels. Better late than never I suppose.
Rubber band tires are for “race cars” and not for public roads, or daily drivers. The added cost and weight of those monster wheels is just a case of “mine’s bigger than yours” mentality. Unless they fill the gap with huge brakes, it looks even more ridiculous.
Who said anything about “rubber band tires”?? Geesh most of you are really showing your age and how disconnected you are from reality. They said 24-inch wheels not 28 inch wheels. Y’all are such dramatic cry babies. Please shut up.
At least the “22 wheels are standard for ’24 model year. I rather have the 22s instead the 24s unless there are plans for big changes to the suspension to make the ride quality more compliant and supple with the 24s like the current line-up with the “22 wheel size without noticing. But we’ll see.
If the owners live in areas where they need to have chains in the winter , forget about it! Not enough room to put them on. I have a 21 gmc 2500hd with 20 inch wheels. I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t enough room to install chains with out the chains hitting the shocks. I’ve got an $80,000 truck that’s useless in the winter where I live.
I feel like they could definitely pull them off. they only look stupid when people put the goofy ass 1.5 inch side wall tires on them. plus the full sizers are on road vehicles anyways. you’d have to options if you don’t want 24’s:
literally just don’t option them on
buy a z71 or at4.
problem solved.
Camaro Kyle, If you put larger sidewall tires on as you suggest, if anybody even makes that type of tire in the huge rim sizes , the ecm must be reprogrammed for the larger diameter tires. Might as well jack it up and put knobby off road tires on it at that point, as the diameter of the larger sidewall tires will rub the wheel wells, and fenders, so why not stay with a reasonable size wheel to start with? Oh yeah, add in the extra leverage/weight the huge, heavy tires will have against the stock brakes.
Cool, they reduce ride quality, reduce fuel economy, bend super easy on a pothole (I made two 18″ Impala wheels look like pac-man) and make the tires ridiculously expensive to replace. I can’t wait for the ridiculous huge wheel obsession to pass.
WHY? How stupid is that?
This oversized wheel thing needs to end…………My first 300HP car…. a 65′ GTO had 14″ like nearly everything in the 60’s and 70’s…………….Somebody please tell Me WHY We must have these oversized wheels on EVERYTHING……….Paul
