Content: The 2007-2013 Chevrolet Suburban is available in two series, 1500 and 2500. For 2007, both receive a stiffer, fully-boxed frame, switch to rack-and-pinion steering for improved control, and get wider front and rear tracks for greater stability. Both versions can tote up to nine passengers or 137 cubic feet of cargo with the second- and third-row seats folded. Outside, 2007-2013 Suburbans sport sleeker sheet metal and more-aerodynamic wraparound fascias, while inside they offer a more refined interior with improved materials and more comfortable seats. Both rear-drive and 4WD models are offered on both series. There is no badging delineating 1500 and 2500 Suburbans. Although the 2500 has the same exterior dimensions as the 1500, the 2500 weighs 400-800 pounds more and has beefier axles, brakes and other chassis hardware to handle bigger tasks. The 2500 model runs 8-lug wheels and multi-leaf rear springs compared to the 1500’s passenger-car wheels and rear coil suspension, and offers another 600-1000 lbs of payload capacity over the 1500. Also the 2500 has a bigger fuel tank: 39 gallons compared to the 31.5-gal tank in 1500 models.
