2004 Chevrolet Suburban Review
The first choice in size extra large.
2004 Suburban Review Summary & Specifications
Chevrolet Suburban is a great vehicle for moving cargo, towing trailers, or hauling people. It's at its best when employed for all three tasks at the same time. The seats fold down for big cargo capacity. Get sleepy on a long trip and you can simply pull over and stretch out in back.
