2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban Have a Unique Taillight Design
Both the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban have an Easter egg hidden in their taillights that’s barely noticeable.
Since the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban debuted a while back, everyone has been enamored with their new exterior and interior design, soft-riding suspension, and many other positive attributes. Now, however, we’re starting to focus more on the details, particularly things that no one noticed at first. That includes a pretty unique taillight design, which contains a bit of an Easter egg first noticed by GM Authority.
It isn’t a traditional Easter egg by any means, but the inside trim piece on the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban taillights are different on each side. On the driver’s side, this trim piece features “Chevrolet” script, proudly touting its manufacturer. On the passenger side, however, the taillight prominently displays a Bow Tie instead.
Why Chevrolet chose to go with a different design on each taillight is a mystery, but it is interesting, nonetheless. It’s also another example of the level of detail present in the design of these new SUVs, which is something lacking from a lot of other vehicles currently on the market, particularly outside of the luxury vehicle realm.
The mechanically identical 2021 Tahoe and Suburban have both remained stalwarts in Chevrolet’s lineup over the years, and the larger Suburban is the brand’s longest-running nameplate, in fact. The body-on-frame SUVs are available in a host of trim levels and configurations, including LS, LT, Z71, RST, Premier, and High Country trims, as well as rear- or all-wheel-drive.
A trio of engine choices gives buyers the option of two different gas V8s and one diesel. The base engine is GM’s 5.3-liter Ecotec3 L84, which is rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The top dog is the brand’s 6.2-liter Ecotec3 L87 V8, which produces 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Those that want to go the diesel route can do so as well, thanks to the available 3.0-liter inline-six LM2 Duramax, which produces 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Pricing starts out at $50,295 for the Tahoe in rear-wheel-drive LS configuration with the base 5.3-liter V8, while the Suburban can be had for as little as $52,995 in the same guise.
