Riding on a 130-inch (3,302 mm) wheelbase, the Suburban's dimensions support
generous passenger and cargo capability, while enabling its smooth ride. Behind
the first-row seats, Suburban offers 137.4 cubic feet (3,890 liters) of cargo
room, along with up to 8,100 pounds (3,674 kg) of towing capability (1500 2WD
models), when properly equipped; Suburban 2500 can tow up to 9,600 pounds (4,354
kg).
The Suburban lineup features LS, LT and LTZ models, with 2WD and
4WD, as well as 1500 and heavy-duty 2500 series. (LTZ is available only on 1500
series.) A Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed is standard on 1500 models, optimizing
fuel economy on the highway via reduced engine speed. Also, the lower-rpm engine
speed on the highway enhances interior quietness.
Suburban is packed with
technologies hadn't even been dreamed of 75 years ago, including Bluetooth
wireless phone connectivity with specific steering wheel controls, an available
rear camera system that can be displayed in either the inside rearview mirror or
the navigation display (depending on radio choice), Side Blind Zone detection,
head curtain side-impact air bags and StabiliTrak electronic stability control
system.
Also, the available trailering package now includes the
integrated trailer brake controller.
