Chevy Suburban The Chevy Suburban first came on the market in 1936. For many years it served as a truck primarily meant for commercial or farm use. The extra-large Suburban has become the choice for families and those in need of passenger and cargo capacity, third-row seating and truck-based towing capabilities. With bendable, able underpinnings, brawny powertrains and roomy seating for up to nine plus their payload, the current truck is a able large SUV. Other large SUVs may offer more enhancements and luxurious conveniences for more money, but the Suburban, and its GMC equal, the Yukon XL, remains the only full-size SUV available in both light- and heavy-duty versions. It is highly recommended, and older models are also good choices for consumers desiring a used SUV. Chevrolet Suburban-Current 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. Three well-equipped trim levels let you tailor the Suburban to fit your needs: base LS, more luxurious LT and the sporty LTZ. There are also two V8s available. Standard on the half-ton Suburban 1500 is a 5.3-liter V8 making 320 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque, equipped with GM's new fuel-conserving cylinder-deactivation technology; a larger 6.0-liter V8 now packing 366 horses and truckloads of torque powers the 3/4-ton Suburban 2500. Initially, both were matched to a four-speed automatic transmission, though for '08 the 2500 was upgraded to a six-speed unit. A choice of two- or four-wheel drive is yours either way, and towing capacities can approach 10,000 pounds. For a big truck, the Chevrolet Suburban is quick when unloaded and can reach 60 mph in under 9 seconds. It also has a new suspension system, coil-over shocks up front and a five-link setup in back, plus more precise rack-and-pinion steering -- that makes for more composed handling and a smoother ride than before. It's still not exactly nimble around corners, but the cabin is quiet at speed and the ride is always comfortably controlled. When pointed straight down an interstate or out in the wide open spaces, there aren't many better, more capable cruisers than the new Chevrolet Suburban. Overall, it's a compelling and top-rated choice we recommend for those whose people- and gear-hauling needs push the envelope of full size. Chevrolet Suburban- Past The previous Suburban that came out in 2000 and lasted through 2006, was packaged more proficiently than before -- and although outclassed by new competitors in its later years, its huge interior made it an easy pick for large families and home contractors who needed maximum passenger and cargo space. The interiors were very basic, however, and the exterior hadn’t seen much improvements. Also it’s square shape wasn’t very aerodynamic.
