2026 Chevy Tahoe Pricing and Trims Near Riverside, CA
The 2026 Chevy Tahoe comes in six trim levels: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country. Pricing starts at $63,495 MSRP for the LS 2WD, including destination freight charge. It reaches $86,495 MSRP for the High Country 4WD. Each trim serves a different kind of driver. The LS covers three-row family utility. The Z71 adds off-road hardware.

Both offer flexible seating and a deep set of standard driver-assistance features. The RST adds street-focused styling. The Z71 adds trail hardware. At the top of the range, the Premier and High Country focus on ride comfort, upscale materials, and available hands-free driving technology.

*Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
How Four-Wheel Drive Changes the Price
Four-wheel drive adds $3,000 to the MSRP on every retail trim that offers the choice. The Z71 is the one exception. It comes with four-wheel drive as standard equipment, so no two-wheel-drive price is listed for it.
What Are the Main Differences Between the LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country?
