Vehicle Description
Today's SUVs with just three rows of seats just not doing it for
you? Need to move a football team AND a stadium? Or do you just
want it to look like a presidential motorcade is barreling through
your neighborhood? Whatever your reasons for wanting it, this 2007
Chevrolet Suburban 2500 limousine is just plain awesome.
Yeah, this is a big sucker, with the Suburban's already massive
wheelbase extended sufficiently to add a third set of doors and
another row of seats. However, looking closely, you can see where
the $150,000 was spent, because it looks OEM in execution, right
down to the running board that mimics the original but is about 15
inches longer. Too cool. With only 16,724 miles on it, this big
hauler is barely broken-in and it remains in fantastic condition
throughout. The black paint shines up nicely and shows that it was
never used as a work vehicle. It's still got a lot of presence and
now that GM no longer makes �-ton Suburbans of any kind, this one
is also kind of useful if you've got big stuff to move. The
blacked-out grille, cool headlights, and built-in fog lamps are all
OEM, and if you didn't know better, you might think this was
something somebody bought at the local Chevy dealer. But you'd
better believe people notice this monster cruising through traffic
and assume someone important is on board.
This Suburban is as far from a truck as you're going to get inside,
with black leather on all four rows of seats in an OEM pattern. The
warm woodgrained details help move it upscale, and there's plenty
of room for 10 people, maybe more if they know each other well
enough. Every effort was made to incorporate OEM features, so the
door panels, switches, and even the overhead A/C vents all were
made by GM and adapted to this custom Suburban. There are also TV
screens in the back of the front seat headrests, and it's linked to
a satellite receiver on the roof. All the usual stuff is standard,
including the powerful A/C system, power windows, seats, mirrors,
and locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, and more. There's also an
AM/FM/navigation setup in the center of the dash that sounds great
in the well-insulated cabin and the PA system with sirens should be
used judiciously. And thanks to the extended wheelbase, cargo
capacity is unaffected, so there's still plenty of room for your
gear.
All 2500s came with the 6.0 liter LS V8, which makes this mammoth
truck feel relatively lively around town. It's an iron block
version of the Corvette engine, so it's bulletproof reliable and
it's backed by all the heavy-duty hardware you need in a machine
like this. Big radiator, transmission cooler, heavy-duty power
steering system, and more. It's completely stock, and as I said,
with so few miles it should run for another 20 years. It's backed
by GM's 4L80E 6-speed automatic transmission that provides
effortless highway cruising, although you're not going to win any
fuel economy awards. It's too big to fit on our lift, so we can't
show you the bottom of the truck, but it's extremely clean,
befitting its low mileage and southern habitat, and the heavy-duty
suspension seems to ride especially well with some extra wheelbase
attached to it. Massive 4-wheel disc brakes are shockingly powerful
and stop this big rig with relative ease. Those big aftermarket
wheels give it an aggressive look and carry relatively recent
Goodyear Wrangler radials.
If you look at Suburbans, you'll see that they hold their value
better than almost any other truck you can own. This one would be
outrageously expensive to duplicate, but here it is, ready to go,
for less than half price and less than a standard new one. Add in
the fact that the �-ton 'Burbs have gone the way of the dodo, and
you have an awesome heavy hauler that's impossible to replace. Call
