The Chevy Suburban debuted in 1936 and has matured through eleven generations. Beginning as a two-seater, eight-passenger hulk with 90-hp, the Suburban had barely reached first grade before World War II interfered and Chevy took a hiatus from producing civilian vehicles. Beginning in the 1950s, Chevy started injecting serious power into their sluggish beast. Torque-filled power, family-friendly utilities, class-leading cargo space, and off-road versatility characterize recent generations.

In 2010, the nine-seater Suburban arrived with more power, panache and aplomb than ever. It comes in two sizes: light 1500 and heavy-duty 2500. The power plant trio sports a standard 5.3-liter, 310-hp V8 with a whopping 340 lb-feet of torque, featuring GM’s fuel-efficient cylinder deactivation technology; optional on the 1500 is a 6.0-liter, 366-hp V8 shoveling out 376 lb-feet of torque; and the 6.0-liter, 352-hp V8 with 382 lb-feet of torque, which is standard on the 2500. All are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. RWD and 4WD are both available. The ‘Burban comes in three trims.

The Chevy Tahoe of the late 90’s was also known as the cowboy Cadillac, and for good reason. These vehicles were some of the most well built large SUVs ever produced and offered years of reliability. Multiple body styles and engines were offered for the 1999 Chevy Tahoe which was very similar to the GMC Yukon. Both vehicles were based off of the same frame, with the GMC model supposedly being slightly more refined on the interior. For a vehicle weighing in at just under 3 tons (largest 4 door models) they were known for exceptional handling, while fuel economy certainly wasn’t too horrible either.

As mentioned before buyers have a choice between either a 2 door or 4 door model and multiple different trim packages. The lowest trim package is the LS which came with only basic accessories. While these models weren’t loaded to the max, they were very decent for driving and some were even equipped with A/C and some power accessories. Moving up in luxury are LT models which could be outfitted in a variety of ways. The most common features of this trim level include a wide variety of cloth colored seats, CD/Cassette players, AC, power windows and locks, rear folding seat, and the option of either a lift gate rear door or two separately hinged doors.
