Once known as the Texas Cadillac, the Suburban has broadened its appeal far beyond the borders of the Lone Star State.
For many families who don?t want minivans, the Suburban, sold by General Motors? Chevrolet and GMC Truck divisions, has become the status-symbol station wagon of the 90?s. The Suburban is equally as popular with retirees who tow trailers to warm winter climates. And it is ideal for commercial use by contractors and utility companies.
Based on GM?s full-size C/K pickup, the Suburban stands alone in its size class. Chevrolet and GMC count the Toyota Land Cruiser and full-size vans from Ford and Dodge as rivals, but the Suburban truly has no direct competitors in the full-size 4-door sport/utility niche it has carved for itself. The Suburban is high: more than 18 ft. long with seating for up to nine people and towing capacity up to 10,000 lb.
