The Suburban was introduced in 1935 no other current make on the road can make that claim. It s a testament to American fortitude, even if many Suburbans are now made in Mexico. These are vehicles that can haul up to eight people or 138.4 cubic feet of cargo or tow up to 12,000 pounds. Big, rugged and versatile. It s what you look for in fullbacks and sport-utilities.
All engines come with a four-speed automatic transmission.
The 2500 our test vehicle comes with a firm ride suspension system. Since I generally was towing only my own rear end, there was some rebound action going in the seat when passing over road bumps, which aren t hard to find around here. The Suburban has nearly 46 cubic feet of storage behind the third-row seat. Take the third-row seat out it comes on roller wheels and you have 90 cubic feet of space. Take out the second-row seat and well, if you re hauling that much, you should probably have a pickup.
