Go With The SUV That Really Pulls Its Weight

Everything we've learned since building the first sport ute 73 years ago goes into making today's Chevrolet Suburban the most capable in its history. That begins with power. The 310 hp Vortec 5.3L V8 that's standard on 1500 models features Active Fuel Management ®for significant fuel efficiency gains. The 352 hp Vortec 6.0L V8 is standard on 2500 models and features variable valve timing (VVT) to optimize both power and fuel efficiency. And with prodigious power comes class-leading cargo capacity: 3891 L (137.4 cu. ft.)** and trailering capacities that top out at a massive 4355 kg (9600 lb.). An equally high standard is applied to the safety package and the level of refinement inside the cabin. Put history on your side: with the 2009 Chevrolet Suburban.

2009 Chevrolet Suburban Vortec 5.3L V8 pistons

Powerful Or Fuel-Efficient – Or Both

It used to be an either/or proposition. If you wanted robust power, you had to sacrifice fuel efficiency. That was before Active Fuel Management, which is included in the Vortec 5.3L V8 that's standard on 1500. This technology shuts down four of eight cylinders when power demands are low, significantly reducing fuel consumption.

2009 Chevrolet Suburban transmission

Shift Into Overdrive – Twice

The new six-speed automatic transmission keeps you in the sweet spot in the rpm range – and it features two overdrive gears to enhance fuel efficiency. You can use the tap-up/tap-down driver shift control to manually select a gear, if desired. It's the transmission that stays in sync with your demands.

See The Unseen

Suburban continues to set the pace with its innovative safety technology. For 2009, 1500 models offer an available side blind zone alert that uses radar technology to detect a vehicle entering a blind spot. And all Suburbans are equipped with the StabiliTrak™ electronic stability control system that helps counter the causes of understeer and oversteer. Suburban also earned the highest possible U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash test ratings – five stars.
