The Chevrolet Suburban is a full-size SUV that shares its platform with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and the Cadillac Escalade luxury SUV. It seats up to nine passengers in three rows of seating, and has sported a V-8 engine in many or all models, for most of its history. These days, it's a suitable substitute for the full-size van and a towing.
