Chevrolet Tahoe Ripline

The Chevrolet Tahoe Ripline is a factory variant of the 1990s-era Chevrolet Tahoe. It began production in June of 2018 to supplement the colonists of the newly founded colony located on Pluto. Due to the harsh nature of the colony, caused by difficulties The Union had with terraforming the world, the colonists demanded a rugged and tough vehicle for daily driving. Several companies put in the effort to make special-edition models for sale only on Pluto and Chevrolet's was the Tahoe Ripline. The Ripline was built primarily in Chevrolet's Blakeland factory.

Design and Features
The Tahoe Ripline had essentially the same body and chassis construction as a standard Chevrolet Tahoe but on the outside, there are many changes. A 4-inch lift kit by Crown Motors' own research division had been installed, roof racks including a spare tire in the center of the roof racks, heavy-duty fog lamps, a small bumper guard, heavy-duty tow hitch and made-to-order Crown Driller off-road tires and rims. All Riplines were painted in a glossy black and had Johnson TVF fuel-injectors that helped the Ironside IV V8 make 10hp over the standard engine.

Discontinuation
The Chevrolet Tahoe Ripline was given a production run of 20,000 vehicles, with 75% shipped to Pluto for sale and the remaining quarter for sale on Earth. Sales were decent but lagged behind the Ford Raptor Ravager and Ford Mustang Gargoyle. This can most likely be due to the skewed power-to-weight ratio compared to the its competition. At its discontinuation in January, 2019, Chevrolet had produced about half of the scheduled production run and even then produced far more than Plutonian dealers could sell. As a result, the Riplines were put into storage near Crown Motors' Blakeland factory and slowly brought out in small numbers to be shipped to dealers. It was at this factory in October, 2019, that the Legion of Despaire raided and stole the entire dormant lineup of Riplines for their own usage.
