It is no secret that [General Motors](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/16588/gm-wants-to-launch-a-full-scale-autonomous-ride-sharing-service-in-2019>) has produced an insane amount of vehicles since its founding in 1908. Between being part of the big three, having a massive fleet division and constantly finding themselves at the top of numerous vehicle segments, we aren't surprised to hear they produce millions of vehicles a year. That being said, [11,000,000 vehicles](<https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2017/nov/1130-tahoe.html>) from one plant is extremely impressive.

Nearly one in two full-size utility vehicles sold in the US come out of a Chevy plant and the vast majority of them come from the Arlington Assembly Plant specifically. The lucky vehicle to hold the 11,000,000 title is a white 2018 Chevy Tahoe RST. This performance version of the Tahoe packs 420-horsepower from a 6.2-liter V8, as well as the increasingly popular 10-speed automatic transmission, Brembo brakes, a Borla exhaust and 22 inch wheels. In addition, the [Tahoe RST](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/9019/chevrolet-bumps-up-the-tahoes-horsepower-with-rst-special-edition>) has a body color-matching grill, black decals and a sub-six second 0-60 mph time.

Although the Tahoe may not match certain luxury standards found in the Land Rover Range Rover, this full-sized SUV has trims all the way from pursuit-rated to Premier. Congratulations to GM and all the hard-working men and women at the Arlington Assembly Plant for hitting such a milestone.
