One of the longest-running models sold in the United States, the Chevrolet Suburban debuted back in 1936. After serving faithfully for many evolutionary years as a truck primarily meant for commercial or rural use, the extra-large Suburban has increasingly become the go-to choice for families or those in need of class-leading passenger and cargo capacity, third-row seating and solid truck-based towing capability.
With flexible, capable underpinnings, strong powertrains and spacious seating for up to nine plus their cargo, the current truck is a capable large SUV. A short list of competitive sport-utilities may offer more refinement and ultra-lux conveniences for more bucks, but the big 'burban, as well as its GMC equivalent, the Yukon XL, remains the only full-size SUV available in both light- and heavy-duty versions. It certainly comes recommended, and older models are also good choices for consumers desiring a used SUV.
Current Chevrolet Suburban
The current-generation Chevrolet Suburban was fully redesigned for the 2007 model year. It rides on an updated chassis possessing all of its prior strength, plus a more comfortable ride and improved overall agility, performance and efficiency. Two advanced V8 engines are available to handle just about any conceivable need, and a full load of options allows one to add as much or as little luxury and capability as desired. Safety advancements like front seat side-impact airbags, stability control and side curtain airbags for all three rows make the new Suburban safer than ever before.
