2007 Suburban Review Summary & Specifications
The redesigned 2007 Chevy Suburban is improved in every respect. The engine is more powerful and efficient. The body is more aerodynamic and the styling sleeker. The interior is more comfortable, convenient and cleaner. The new suspension has smoothed out the old wrinkles, and the new power rack-and-pinion steering has tightened up the handling. The mix-and-match options, especially with engines and seating positions, allow the building of a custom vehicle to suit your needs. It will still tow like a locomotive and keep as many as nine passengers happy while doing so. You can take your family and friends and houseboat to the lake in one neat swoop.
