The Car Connection Consumer Review
Ammazing car to drive.

Content: Heavy-duty 2500-series models (covered by a separate TheCarConnection.com review) get a different 352-hp, 6.0-liter V-8. With either engine, fuel economy isn’t stellar, but it’s a manageable 14 mpg city, 20 highway with the 5.3-liter and rear-wheel drive. For 2009, a six-speed automatic transmission is standard across the line. Every Suburban engine is powerful and smooth. The 6.0-liter engine is TheCarConnection.com’s favorite, if you can live with its significantly lower fuel economy ratings. Safety is a major priority in the 2009 Chevrolet Suburban. StabiliTrak stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and curtain airbags for all rows are standard. These features, combined with the Chevy's curb weight of nearly three tons, should make you feel very safe and secure. In addition, the Suburban garners top five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests from the federal government. A Side Blind Zone Alert is also offered, which should help with the blind spots introduced by being so high above some traffic in adjacent lanes.
