re: Suburban owners- do you like it?

I wish they'd bring back the 3/4 ton versions. I'd buy one of those.

They are testing them now with the 6.6L gas V8 and the Duramax Diesel. I don't think production starts until later this year though.

I suspect they will focus on maximizing payload since their biggest customer will be American, Canadian, and European militaries - many of which will upfit them with armored panels and bulletproof glass and send them off to embassies in shitty parts of the world. So the ride will probably suck compared to the half ton models. I also wouldn't expect there to be more than just a couple of trim levels.



At a glance it looks like every other suburban you'd see on the highway. But a careful eye could see the thicker glass and 8 lug wheels - likely the only way to really tell if it's armored or not from the outside.
