If you are looking for the total package of power, performance, and ride quality, Chevy has released the RST performance trim level which will sport Brembo Brakes, police spec tires, and pursuit performance. This top of the line trim will feature all of the following additions and some to give the smoothest ride quality available.

• Available Magnetic Ride Control
• Four Corner Adaptive Air-Ride Suspension–This system optimizes ride height depending on what you may need. If you need more clearance to get over obstacles you can adjust the ride height up. If you need the vehicle to be a little lower so that you and your passengers can get out it can be lowered a little as well.
• Available Super Cruise–Quite an impressive feature, Super Cruise gives a hands free driving experience so that you can enjoy the roads while you travel.

Jeep does not have as much info on similar information about the Wagoneer, however, there is one major point that they drive home. That is the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension that the Wagoneer will have. This air suspension will give a total of 3.6 inches of suspension travel and 10 inches of ground clearance. For a large SUV such as the Wagoneer these are pretty impressive numbers for the clearances that are seen. This will also help with towing which we will discuss in the next section.

Towing Capacity:

The 2023 Chevy Tahoe has quite an impressive amount of towing capacity when properly equipped. From Chevy themselves, when equipped with the 5.3 liter engine and the max trailering package this SUV will be able to haul up to 8,400 pounds of weight.

Comparatively the Jeep Wagoneer boasts an impressive 10,000 pound towing capacity for this SUV. They do not give a specific configuration that will achieve this towing capacity, rather they do say that both the 3.0 liter and the 5.7 liter engine will be able to produce these numbers. As always, it is important to know the limits of the vehicle, so always check what it can do before you hook a trailer up.

Your Next Family-Sized SUV:

While the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer can tow quite a bit more than the Tahoe, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe will give a great riding experience. There is an extra engine option to choose from, and it is impressive that they offer a smaller diesel option for higher torque.
