Priced at $49k, the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban extended length full-size SUV is regarded by many as the most overkill choice for busy families in the market for such a machine. But there are some good points to talk about before we will cover the Suburban HD.
First of all, it can tow up to 8,300 lbs (3,765 kg). Then there’s available cargo space, which is a bit more than what you get in a similar-sized Nissan and Toyota full-size SUV. Last but not least, seating for 9 people is on the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban LS’ menu as well.
Thing is, what if you need heavy-duty capability from the twelfth-generation Chevy Suburban? In this regard, the capability can be squeezed out of the body-on-frame architecture. But General Motors kept quiet about the possibility of doing the long-rumored 2016 Chevrolet Suburban HD.
Until now. Drew Dowdell of Cheers and Gears acquired the document you can check out above, which tells us that the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban will be offered in HD guise only for the LS and LT trim levels. But there’s a big catch with the extra capable utility vehicle.
Sean Szymkowski of GM Authority was told by a GM official that the “HD Suburban will only be available for Commercial and Government Fleets. Additional product information will be shared as it becomes available.”
If you’re one of the lucky ones that will be able to buy the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban HD, then look forward to a Class 3 gross vehicle weight rating (10,000 - 14,000 lbs / 4,536 - 5,896 kg), heavy-duty suspension and the same old EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 engine that churns out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) of torque.
