The tenth generation of Chevrolet Suburban has kept going as the oldest nameplate in the Chevrolet lineup. Its capability to tow, haul, and transport nine passengers on any kind of road conditions made it a favorite for millions of Americans, and not only. In 2006 it was launched as a 2007 model, with a range of three V8 engines under the hood.
The Suburban was available either as a 1500 or 2500 series (half-ton or three-quarter ton). The half-ton had a 5.3-liter engine with 295 hp and 454 Nm (335 lb-ft) of torque. It was available with either a 2wd or a 4wd system. Bigger variants, with 6.0-liter and 8.1-liter V8s, featured a 4wd configuration as standard. The 8.1-liter was the big hauler, able to pull up to 12.000 pounds (5440 kg). All vehicles had 4-speed automatic transmission fitted as standard.
There were different trim levels as well. The Z71 stands out since it had an off-road package.
Interior options were matching those of a luxury vehicle. Since the Cadillac Escalade was built on the same chassis, some of the features meant for the luxurious American brand were transferred to the family carrier.
In the safety department, Chevrolet installed standard dual-stage airbags. Standard dual-stage front airbags deploy based on crash severity, and a passenger seat safety system can sense the presence of a child riding up front and disable the airbag to prevent injury.
