Seven trims make up the 2027 Chevrolet Tahoe: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, High Country, and the new RST Performance Edition. Base pricing spans from $61,200 for the LS up to $84,200 for the High Country, and every trim covers a genuinely different Tulsa buyer, from a family that wants a straightforward, capable SUV to a driver who wants the sportiest, fastest-stopping Tahoe Chevrolet has ever offered.

Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet stocks the full Tahoe lineup for Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Sand Springs, Glenpool and Okmulgee shoppers, from the value-focused LS to the new RST Performance Edition. Engines and technology are detailed on the 2027 Tahoe overview, and every measured dimension is listed on the specs page.

What separates the Tahoe's trim walk from a lot of full-size SUV lineups is that the engine choice and the equipment choice are mostly independent decisions. LS and LT are locked to the 5.3L V8 with an optional Duramax on LT, but RST, Z71 and Premier all share the identical three-engine menu, so a Tulsa buyer can pick the equipment level that fits their budget first and the engine that fits their driving pattern second, instead of one dictating the other.

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

LS: $61,200

Available engine: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Standard equipment includes 18-inch Bright Silver-painted aluminum wheels with all-season tires, the best-in-class 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch driver information center, Adaptive Cruise Control and HD Surround Vision. The LS is the only 2027 Tahoe trim built with the front bench seat, which is what unlocks 9-passenger seating; every other trim uses front bucket seats and tops out at 8. It is for the Tulsa buyer who wants every seat filled and full Tahoe capability without paying for leather or a second infotainment upgrade.

LT: $64,200

Available engines: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 standard, 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel available. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Key standard equipment includes leather-appointed seating, heated front bucket seats, a programmable power liftgate and wireless phone charging. Super Cruise hands-free driving is available on LT, the least expensive Tahoe trim that offers it. It is for the buyer who wants real comfort upgrades over the LS without stepping into RST's sport styling.

RST: $69,600

Available engines: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 standard, 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 available, 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel available. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Key standard equipment includes a monochromatic black grille with Black Ice accents, RST-specific Jet Black interior with Victory Red accents, and all-black badging, emblems and roof rails. Heated and ventilated front seats are standard, and 24-inch machined and painted Carbon Flash Metallic wheels are available. It is for the buyer who wants the Tahoe's sportiest street look along with the option of the stronger 6.2L V8.

Z71: $71,200

Available engines: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 standard, 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 available, 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel available. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Z71 groups its hardware around getting off pavement and back safely: Chevrolet's Autotrac two-speed active transfer case for low-range gearing, a high-approach-angle front fascia and an aluminum skid plate to protect the underbody, and red recovery hooks front and rear if a tow is ever needed. Black tubular assist steps and 20-inch all-terrain Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires come standard, and the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension adds real clearance over a rutted trail rather than just a badge. It is for the Sand Springs or Glenpool buyer who actually leaves pavement, not just the look of it.

Premier: $76,100

Available engines: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 standard, 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 available, 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel available. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Premier's equipment centers on the two rows a Tulsa family actually sits in every day: heated and ventilated seats up front, plus heated seating in row two, so nobody in the back is stuck with a cold bench on a January morning. Audio steps up to a 10-speaker Bose Centerpoint system, exterior lighting gets the uplevel LED treatment with animated headlamp and taillamp sequencing, and the Power Sliding Center Console frees up cabin storage on the fly. An AutoSense Power Liftgate is available for hands-full grocery runs. It is for the buyer who wants near-flagship comfort short of High Country's own price step.

High Country: $84,200

Available engines: 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 standard, 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel available. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. This is the flagship trim: Magnetic Ride Control is standard, with the Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension available, alongside a unique High Country signature grille, sill plates, interior stitching and badging, and real wood decor throughout the cabin. It is for the buyer who wants the most Tahoe money can buy, engine included.

RST Performance Edition: priced at build and price, new for 2027

Available engine: 6.2L V8, tuned to 433 hp and 467 lb-ft using Chevrolet Performance induction and exhaust components, the highest output of any 2027 Tahoe. Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive available. Standard equipment includes Brembo heavy-duty front brakes, with the Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension available. It did not exist on the 2026 sheet, and it is for the buyer who wants RST's sport styling paired with genuinely more power and stronger stopping.

Common 2027 Tahoe Trim Comparisons

LS vs. LT

The $3,000 step from LS to LT buys leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a programmable power liftgate and wireless phone charging, plus access to available Super Cruise. LS earns its own place in the lineup with the front bench seat that opens up 9-passenger seating, the one configuration nothing else in the lineup matches. Both trims share the same 5.3L V8 as their standard engine and both qualify for the Tahoe's headline 8,400-pound tow rating when built with rear-wheel drive and the Max Trailering Package, so a Tulsa buyer can weigh seat count and comfort equipment on their own terms rather than trading away capability either way. For a Broken Arrow family cross-shopping a used Suburban against a new Tahoe, LT's leather and liftgate upgrade over LS is often the detail that seals it.

RST vs. Z71

Both start close in price, RST at $69,600 and Z71 at $71,200, a $1,600 gap, and both offer the same engine choices. The difference is purpose: RST is styling-led, with black exterior accents and available 24-inch wheels built for pavement, while Z71 is hardware-led, with a skid plate, all-terrain tires and a two-speed transfer case built for a gravel road or a trail past Sand Springs. Neither is the "better" Tahoe; they are built for two different Saturdays. Both offer the same three-engine choice, so a buyer torn between them should test drive both back to back and picture the actual weekend the Tahoe needs to handle: a paved commute along US-75 reads differently than a gravel boat ramp past Keystone Lake, and the equipment list reflects that split more than the price tag does.

Premier vs. High Country

The $8,100 step from Premier to High Country is the largest on the ladder, and it buys a standard 6.2L V8 in place of the 5.3L, standard Magnetic Ride Control, and High Country's own real wood decor and signature badging. A buyer who mainly wants the extra comfort equipment without the engine and suspension upgrade may find Premier's Bose audio and heated second row satisfies the day-to-day ask; a buyer who wants the strongest standard engine and the smoothest ride should plan on High Country. Both trims offer the same 3.0L Duramax diesel as an available upgrade, so the engine decision does not have to move with the trim decision the way it does lower in the lineup. Premier's Bose audio and heated second row alone often satisfy a Tulsa family's day-to-day comfort ask, which is why High Country's added value shows up more in the cabin materials and ride quality than in features a Premier owner would notice missing.

Z71 vs. RST Performance Edition

Both start from the same off-road-adjacent RST-family styling cues, but they solve different problems. Z71 is built for low-speed, off-pavement capability: a skid plate, all-terrain tires and low-range gearing. The RST Performance Edition is built for on-road performance: a tuned 433-hp 6.2L V8 and Brembo front brakes, with no off-road hardware included. A buyer cross-shopping the two should decide whether the goal is a trail past Glenpool or the quickest stop and hardest launch on the highway. Pricing separates them further once options are added: Z71's headline hardware is standard equipment at $71,200, while the RST Performance Edition is priced at build and price and layers its performance parts on top of RST's own $69,600 starting point. Z71 pairs its off-road hardware with a choice of three engines, including the 3.0L Duramax diesel; the RST Performance Edition is built exclusively around its tuned 6.2L V8, since that engine is the entire point of the trim.

The 2027 Tahoe Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide

LT is the volume trim on this lot: it is the least expensive way into leather, a power liftgate and available Super Cruise, and most Tulsa buyers who start at LS end up here once they see the comfort equipment in person.

Step	Price Difference	What It Adds	Who It's For
LS to LT	+$3,000	Leather, power liftgate, Super Cruise availability	Buyers who do not need the 9-passenger bench
LT to RST	+$5,400	Sport styling, available 6.2L V8, heated/vented seats	Buyers who want a stronger engine option and street presence
RST to Z71	+$1,600	Off-road hardware: skid plate, all-terrain tires, transfer case	Buyers who actually leave pavement
Z71 to Premier	+$4,900	Bose 10-speaker audio, heated 2nd row, AutoSense liftgate available	Buyers prioritizing cabin comfort over trail hardware
Premier to High Country	+$8,100	Standard 6.2L V8, Magnetic Ride Control, real wood decor	Buyers who want the strongest standard engine and the smoothest ride

Which 2027 Tahoe Trim Is Right for You?

If you primarily need every seat filled

LS is the only trim with the 9-passenger front bench. Everything above it seats 8.

If you tow a real trailer

Any 5.3L V8, rear-wheel-drive Tahoe with the Max Trailering Package hits the 8,400-pound max; confirm that specific build on the lot rather than assuming every trim ships it standard.

If you want hands-free highway driving on a budget

LT is the least expensive trim with Super Cruise available.

If you leave pavement on purpose

Z71's skid plate, all-terrain tires and transfer case are built for it; no other trim carries that hardware.

If you want the most comfort for the money

Premier's Bose audio, heated second row and available AutoSense liftgate cost less than High Country while covering most of the day-to-day comfort ask.

If you want the most Tahoe, full stop

High Country for outright luxury, or the new RST Performance Edition if 433 hp and Brembo front brakes matter more than real wood decor.
