GM has redesigned the 9-passenger Chevrolet Suburban to make it more competitive in the full-size SUV market. The exterior styling has been tightened up for a more contemporary look, and the interior updated with improved materials and build quality. Stabilitrak(R) stability control is standard. The standard 5.3L, and optional 6.0L V-8 engines have Active Fuel Management(TM) (formerly known as Displacement on Demand). Active Fuel Management(TM) allows the engine to run on 4-cylinders under light load conditions, for improved fuel economy. The standard 17-inch alloy wheels can be upgraded to 18-inch or 20-inch alloys on some models. A dedicated Z71 off-road model is available. Maximum towing capacity is up to 9,700 lbs (Suburban 2500).

What Changed:

A six speed automatic becomes standard equipment on all models. LTZ models add heated and cooled seats and new trim pieces for visual differentiation. OnStar 8.0 and Bluetooth are also new.
