2015 Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Package Revealed

BAY CITY, Mich. – About a month ago, news broke that Chevy may offer a Z71 package for the 2015 Suburban and Tahoe SUVs, however no details about exactly what that package would include were known...until now! At the Texas State Fair, Chevrolet revealed the 2015 Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Package details that will be available this fall!
