GM Authority Highlights Second-Row Seat Fold and Major Space Addition in 2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe

Back in December the 2021 Chevy Suburban and 2021 Tahoe debuted as all-new, next-generation vehicles boasting a long list of updates and upgrades, and as an excellent college indie rock band from the plains of Iowa once sang, “There's always great appeal to a house of large sizes!” Among the new goodies to be excited about are a new cabin design that features second-and third-row seating that is a snap to fold down. The knowledgeable staff on duty at GM Authority offered up a blog feature last week that showcased a video depicting just how much extra space you can get in the new model if needed.

This video shows the second-row captain's chair folding down all of the way to the vehicle floor. The seats also can slide forward and backward inside the cabin as well as flipping up towards the first-row seats to offer simplified third-row access. Both the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe ride on the GM T1 platform and come equipped with the new independent multilink rear suspension. This is a massive improvement to the way the vehicle handles each time on the road, and also paves the way for a lower and flatter load floor which makes getting cargo and people in and out much easier.

With the addition of this lower load floor, both the Suburban and Tahoe seats could drop or squat to assure the cargo space stays flat when the third- and second-row seats are folded. With the load floor now flattened, it makes for more cargo capacity as well as an added 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row. This is an extra 16.2-cubic-feet of cargo space behind the second row, and an extra 1.8- cubic-feet of cargo space right behind the third row. Here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis one of the requests we have had lately from families and small businesses out there trying their best to hustle is that “Space is the biggest commodity we could ever encounter!” 

Passengers will have more space due to an extra 10 inches of third-row legroom and this is the first time that the second-row seats can now slide forward or back by 5.5 inches. These are two big-and beautiful vehicles that we are excited to introduce in the Suburban’s 12- generation, and we are confident that the new platform will prove to be an enormous hit. When things begin to get better out there, the baseball games, soccer leagues, and barbecues are going to need hefty hauling; out their way, and the new Suburban will be the means to do so. The bloggers from Carbuzz.com also reflected that when it comes to these two numbers, “All missions are accomplished”, and that these heavyset and poised-for-prowess vehicles deliver on every single bullet point in existence!
