The Chevrolet and the GMC Suburbans share similarities that transcends name. In fact these two are twins and carry almost the same characteristic; the general features that can be seen on the Chevy Suburban can be seen as well on the GMC offering. There may be some differences between the two, yet the differences are only minor and some of the minor differences include the use of grille inserts, the selection of body trims and the choice of engines. In terms of performance and reliability, both the Suburban of the Chevy and the GMC are almost the same and these are these are the reasons why the Suburban is one of the longest-serving nameplates in history. The Suburban is an old nameplate and this name was even used by other automakers aside from GMC. The Suburban of both the GMC and the Chevy was actually based on the truck of 1936 that was based on the commercial panel truck. This truck used a huge and a windowless design. But this was not adopted by the Suburban; rather the Suburban incorporated the large passenger compartment. A number of engines were used during that time but the most popular engine that was adopted by the K25 was the engine that produced 90 horsepower and this was an inline six cylinder engine. The next significant change that happened on the Suburban was in 1960s where a change in body style, performance and name was adopted. The 1960s saw the adoption of the C/K nomenclature with the K reserved for GMC vehicles. The K25 was actually the quarter ton version of the truck. The 1960 also saw the introduction of the 305 cubic inch engine that produced 150 horsepower. The Suburban of the 1960s are offered in limited trims; the base and the custom trim. The Suburban is still offered now in the market, and the new Suburban is available in three trims. These trims include the LS, the LT and the LTZ. The new Suburban in the market can be credited for its 15 miles per gallon when used on city driving and another 21 miles per gallon for highway driving. These are for the rear-wheel drive version of the vehicle. For the four-wheel drive vehicle, the figures stand at 15 miles per gallon for city driving and another 20 miles per gallon for highway driving. The vehicle weighs at around 5,800 pounds. The fuel economy of the vehicle is made reasonable by the adoption of the Active Fuel Management – a fuel saving feature for the Suburban 320 horsepower engine. Though the vehicle is credited for its performance, the convenience and the capacity to manage great cargoes, the K25 has drawbacks as well. Some of the criticisms for the vehicle include its elephantine size, the use of high step-in and the absence of the five-speed automatic transmission. This is true at least for the 2007 version. Overall the K25 vehicle is one ride that can be depended upon on the road when it comes to performance and reliability. Another good thing going for the vehicle is its large cargo area, and this allow for better cargo management. Related Bookmarks
