Summary
If our needs required a people carrier with genuine towing capability, we would definitely consider the Chevy Suburban. After all, it's about the only vehicle in the field that qualifies, which helps account for why it's been around so long.We liked the big V8 because of its power and 7,000-pound towing capability. We also like the security and flexibility of the 4WD. To appreciate the combination, imagine trying to pull a heavy boat on a trailer from the water and up a steep, slippery ramp. It's no chore for the faint-hearted. Sure, for this kind of power you're going to sacrifice some fuel efficiency, but the Suburban's 42-gallon fuel tank should ease any anxiety. Besides, if mileage is a big concern, you could always forgo some power and opt for the turbo diesel.
