Largest SUV on Chevy's lot is the super-size Suburban that stretches 18 feet long and spreads more than six feet wide across the beam. Its enormous cabin has seats for up to nine.

The series includes 1500 (half-ton) and 2500 (three-quarter-ton) versions with Vortec V8 engines and automatic transmissions. Suburban 1500 totes a 5.3-liter V8 rated at 295 hp. The 2500 stocks Chevy's 6.0-liter V8 that runs to 335 hp, with the heavy-duty Vortec 8.1-liter V8 also available for 325 hp.

Both 1500 and 2500 Suburbans host rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) editions, but the latter has a dash-mounted switch to jockey between all-wheel-drive (AWD) traction, rear-wheel or four-wheel high and low settings. For 2006 a new LTZ model stocks the 6.0-liter Vortec V8 with AWD traction and 20-inch wheels, a monochromatic paint scheme for the body and leather lining the cabin.
