More Than 77 Years of Getting the Job Done

Suburban has a long–standing reputation as the go–to vehicle for active American families. For more than 75 years, Suburban has maintained its reputation for spacious room and legendary capability. So pack it up, load it in, and get out there.

It was the world's first SUV and has continued to pave the way through its rich history into today's modern comforts. Suburban 3/4-Ton offers a long list of advanced safety and convenience features. To put it simply, Suburban does not compromise.

Exterior

Solid Good Looks

With its iconic rugged lines and solid bearing, Suburban has always been an unmistakable member of the Chevy family. And that strength isn't just for looks: This is a full–size vehicle that can handle what you throw its way.

Style with a Purpose

Suburban 3/4–Ton offers both style and functionality fit for almost any of your travels. Its exterior is adorned with a roof–mounted luggage rack with side and center rails, along with automatic headlamps and daytime running lamps.

Front and rear all–terrain tires are standard on Suburban 3/4–Ton, along with a full–size spare. Available integrated turn signal mirrors add style and help other drivers notice you. A power liftgate, available on LT3, makes loading and unloading both convenient and easy.

Interior

Take All the Room You Need

Suburban 3/4–Ton offers available seating for up to eight on LT, or nine on LS. Or you can use 137.4 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space4, which means you can haul a whole lot.

Convenience That Works

Convenient amenities like power–adjustable pedals, remote vehicle starter system and Rear Parking Assist already come standard on LT, or opt for the available Convenience Package on LS and still get it all.

Driver Information Center

Get important information and updates on your Suburban while you're driving. The driver information center provides important readouts of vehicle functions, such as engine oil life, tire pressure5, fuel range and mileage. Includes warning messages and personalized settings.

Luxury Package

The Luxury Package available on LT offers 10–way power adjustable front seats, inside rearview auto–dimming mirror, heated second–row seats, second–row power seat release, outside heated, power–adjustable, power–folding mirrors, power liftgate and a universal home remote.

Capability

True Utility

Suburban 3/4–Ton comes with a standard Vortec 6.0L V8 engine that produces 352 horsepower and a pavement–grabbing 382 lb.–ft. of torque. This impressive power gives Suburban 3/4–Ton a towing capability of up to 9,600 lbs.6, making Suburban 3/4–Ton a true utility vehicle.

Smooth Traveling

The integrated trailer brake control not only helps to keep the heaviest loads stable but also adds up to 9,600 lbs. of maximum trailering power6 and best–in–class payload capacity on 2WD models. The 6–speed automatic transmission combined with a fully boxed frame further enhances the comfortable driving experience that's also complete with control.

Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver.

Technology

The Latest in Technology

Keep passengers entertained with a rear DVD entertainment system, available on LT, which has two overhead screens: one for the second row and one for the third row, two sets of wireless headphones, input jacks and a remote control.

Rear Vision Camera System

The available Rear Vision Camera System8 helps you see behind the vehicle more clearly. The camera displays what's behind you while traveling in Reverse at low speeds directly in the rearview mirror, or on the available navigation screen when equipped, so you don't have to look down.

Mobile Apps

Stay connected to your Suburban with the myChevrolet10 app with the connectivity of OnStar RemoteLink™ 11. Check diagnostics, contact roadside assistance, schedule routine maintenance and more. Available from the iTunes Store and Android Marketplace.

Turn–by–Turn Navigation

Safety
Full–Size Safety

There's a lot riding in your Suburban. That's why it includes some of the latest safety technology to help keep you safe on the road. Advanced electronic systems, coupled with engineering characteristics like a steel safety cage, work together to help prevent collisions – and to help protect you if you're in one. It's optimal safety before, during and after a collision.

 
Before

The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four–wheel anti–lock brakes help you stay in control in slippery road conditions, and Proactive Roll Avoidance engages automatically to help reduce the risk of a rollover crash.. The standard Tire Pressure Monitor5 is designed to let you know when tire pressure levels are less than optimal.

During

Suburban is equipped with six standard airbags14 for the driver, right front passenger and outboard rear occupants, and a steel safety cage to help preserve occupant space in the vehicle.

After

OnStar® Automatic Crash Response12, standard for the first six months on all Suburban models, includes built–in sensors that can automatically alert OnStar for help in an emergency. Even if you can't respond, an Advisor can request that emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location. It's peace of mind for you and your family.
