Top-Trim 2021 Suburban High Country is “The best driving Suburban ever made”, Instills First-Rate Confidence

Humorously claiming that "a 1938 Suburban functioned about as well on the road as a fish in Death Valley," Clayton Seams of Driving.com reflected on the history and evolution of our prized Chevy Suburban. The lower gears wailed at high speeds, and the interior was about as bare-bones as it gets. Back then, the Suburban was treated as a "covered truck" and used only for "truck things". Cars, on the other hand, were used for "car things". Today, the newest 12th-generation Suburban has traded its rear axle for a rear suspension that has much softer and better handling characteristics.

Clayton thought that a thorough test drive was now in order, and acquired a top-trim High Country model with four-wheel drive. They sourced their power for the drive with a 6.2-Liter V8 that cranks out 428 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. As soon as he got in and drove away, Clayton claimed that it was the best-driving Suburban ever made. It glides over rough pavement well and sticks to corners as a much smaller model would, and braking is completed with 100% confidence.

The Magnetic Ride Control is what allows this large-sized Suburban to handle corners like a car, and the automatic setting for the 4WD allows you to have the power sent to the forward axles whenever it's needed without switching it off and on repeatedly. The front seats are adjustable in every way imaginable, and “real-life-sized” grownups can ride very comfortably in all three rows of seats. For performance in the form of a luxury wagon, the Suburban was ranked by the Driving.Ca crew as “flawless”, and entertainment options in rear rows, soft leather seats, and seemingly silent highway ride make it the ultimate vehicle for carrying lots of stuff as well as your favorite passengers.

With a very quick-reacting 10-speed automatic and new diesel offered on several trims, this is the perfect time to become well-acquainted with a vehicle that has worn so many different hats for so many successful years. 2.3 inches of legroom have been gained over its previous generation, and the second-row seats also have 5.5 inches of travel to slide for ideal accommodation. Sport and Off-Road driving modes are new for 2021, joining the Tow and Haul options and providing the ability to make the ride more firm and offer better ground clearance.

One of the coolest features of the new Suburban is the by-wire brake system, which employs an electric motor minus a direct connection between the pedal and master cylinder. The current redesign also moves the control of the transmission from a conventional column shifter to a set of push-buttons to the right of the steering wheel, which is more convenient right at first touch.

2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe Tightly Clinch “Bigger and Better” Promise

Here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, it is finally the time of year where thoughts of egg nog, classics on YouTube such as “Frosty the Snowman”, and cherishing loved ones visiting from out of state are on our minds. This is when many customers come to us and ask about various details and features of upcoming models, and begin to wonder which SUV, sedan, or truck would be ideal for them. We were lucky enough to see an all-new Silverado for the 2019 model year, and now it's time for our large-size SUVs to follow suit and offer up the best in what buyers want for new features. 

The 2021 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe will both have new LED lights standard on front and rear, along with 18-inch wheels. There will be 9 exterior colors to choose from, and the Suburban's wheelbase is now stretched 4.1 inches and is 1.3 inches longer overall. The Tahoe sees its wheelbase expand by an extra 4.9 inches, and overall length grows by 6.7 inches. Both SUVs are all brand-new underneath, and there is a huge upgrade in the form of a multi-link, independent rear suspension. With the solid axle no longer being in place, the ride should now be noticeably smoother no matter what terrain is at hand. 

For the brand new Tahoe, cargo space behind the third row now increases by 66 percent, and there is 122.9 cubic feet of storage total. The incoming Suburban gains 19 percent in back for total cargo capacity of 144.7 cubic feet. Now both models feature sliding second-row seats that provide much easier access to the back. When you are looking closely at a vehicle that can carry more passengers than average, one of the things on buyers' holiday wish lists was displays: as many as five displays are available on both of these models, and among them is a standard-issue 10-inch infotainment screen that is now the largest in the segment. 

It wasn't that many years ago when hauls that took the family out of town required books and board games to keep those on board entertained. While those options are still a great way to keep people occupied, we all know that the “screen has become king” as far as the long drives are concerned. Rear-seat passengers can also now enjoy two 12.6-inch LCD displays, allowing those not having to navigate the road freedom to enjoy their favorite means of digital downtime. The brand-new 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline 6 joins the ranks of the engines options list, cranking out 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. When the urge to take a holiday test drive overcomes you, don't forget to inquire about the High Country models: this top-of-the-line trim offers the most distinct grille we've ever seen, and 22-inch wheels that are  the best automotive “Holiday tree trimming treat” we've seen! 

2021 Chevy Suburban Spy Shots Via Motor Authority Reveal Vital Clues

The Suburban is one of those vehicles that all of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis have a lot of respect and reverence for: makes such as this on the larger side that can transport and haul have won over customers in high volumes. A prototype for the redesigned Chevy Suburban has recently been spotted and shown to us by the good folks on staff at Motorauthority.com, and they now make public a few different clues about what we can expect from the upcoming full-sized SUV.

Chevy is now in the process of completely redesigning the models from its full-size fleet around the T1 body-on-frame platform for incoming SUVs and pickups. This platform is the result of continuous evolution of the existing K2 design, and rightfully exchanges steel for aluminum in the ever-important quest to shed weight. This may result in the ultimate shedding of close to 300 pounds, and the T1 platform made its debut last year in the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. There is a lot of camouflage gear on this prototype spotted lately, but the design of the face looks to have a lot of similarities from the latest Silverado truck.

The angle of the C-pillar can also be made out through the camouflage gear, as well as the namesake graphic located on the taillights. You can also clearly see that there is an independent rear suspension instead of the current model's solid unit, and this should greatly improve all aspects of the ride. When it comes to models that are slated to arrive soon, we are always on the lookout for what engines will be on board. Everyone who wants to be in the know is curious as to what power sources will be at the helm, and as far as the Suburban it looks like Chevy's new 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-4 could be a contender, as it as already been announced for the Silverado.

A 5.3-liter V-8 would be another very sensible offering, possibly even with the more advanced Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology that can take action and regulate the firing of the engine between its 8 respective cylinders. At the very top of the range would reside the 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower, and 460 pound-ft of torque that is currently available in the Suburban RST trim. One of the coolest models ever after taking a solid look back in time is the 1964 Chevy Suburban Carryall: we love everything about the grille, solid-bodied-stance, and ready-to-conquer essence of this large-sized blast from the past. The Premiere Plus version has always had the pleasure of sitting at the top of the line comfortably: It is the upper-level addition that provides for you sported standard cross rails, chrome power steps, chrome exhaust tips, and the new polished 22-inch wheels!
