2011 Chevrolet Suburban LT 1500 4WD Trim Overview

The 2011 Chevrolet Suburban LT 1500 4WD is the perfect vehicle for buyers who need to carry eight people and their gear through any weather. The Suburban LT 1500 4WD's standard electronic four-wheel drive (with optional low range) enables the big SUV to handle most on-road conditions with ease. The few buyers in this market looking for a serious off-roader should probably step up to the three-quarter-ton Suburban 2500; the LT 1500's coil springs are tuned more for highway comfort than rock hopping.

Chevy equips the 2011 Suburban LT 1500 4WD with its familiar 5.3-liter V8 engine. With 320 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque, this Flex-fuel motor can run on either regular gasoline or E85 ethanol. A six-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties admirably.

The posh interior of the Suburban LT 1500 4WD seats eight passengers on comfortable leather seats. Its lengthy standard equipment list includes such upmarket items as power seats, three-zone automatic climate control, and a Bose premium stereo system with nine speakers. Options include a sunroof, a power tailgate, and GPS navigation with back-up camera.
