Even though there have been so many various movements to
shrink sizes, conserve fuel, and lessen carbon footprints worldwide, all of us
here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse firmly recognize that there’s still a
healthy and deep-seeded need for heavy haulers. The 2023 Chevy Suburban is
a widely appealing and capable family SUV that boasts not only the best in
technology but the added luxury touch to sway buyers who are seeking the finer
things in life.
The High Country is the top-of-the-line trim that blends
innovative features, practical capability, and high-end touches to offer one of
the most sought-after SUVs today. It’s all tied together perfectly with the
powertrain presence in the form of an old-school V8-powered body-on-frame SUV,
which results in the perfect balance of the future and the functional force of
the past. Proudly kept on as one of the longest continuous-running nameplates
in the industry, the Suburban traces its roots back to its introduction in
1934.
Bearing a strong resemblance and form of functionality to
the original model, the 2023 Suburban can easily lug all your possessions,
pets, and then some, along with towing a trailer to boot. Drivers have told us here
at the Powerhouse that they love the outright capability of a truck along with
the ride quality and interior trimmings of a luxury vehicle, with many claiming
it’s the most capable vehicle out there right now. This year’s model also
boasts independent rear suspension to offer first-class ride quality and
interior comfort.
Making things easier during every drive has been a very
innovative and useful benefit of today’s vehicles, and GM’s Super Cruise is
an excellent means of taking the Suburban to another intelligent level. If your
eyes are situated in an alert position, you’ll be enjoying hands-free driving
on digitally mapped regions nationwide, saving valuable energy for your
destination. The 6.2-liter ECOTEC 3 V-8 engine enthusiastically cranks out 420
horsepower and 460 lb.-ft of torque, which is recognized as a significant
upgrade over the 5.3-liter V8 that offers 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of
torque.
This capable engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic
transmission with a unique quality of smoothness and precision. This match made
in heaven of a classic and high-performing engine with a very modern transmission
is a pair that is consistently complementing each other during performance and
makes the Suburban the ruling giant it is. This coveted display of ability is
sufficient to throttle the 6,121-lb High Country model up to 60 mph in just 6.1
seconds.
EPA fuel ratings are situated at 14 mpg city and 18 mpg on
the highway for a combined EPA rating of 16 mpg. With the expertly engineered
aid of Magnetic campers and Air Ride, the 2023 Suburban High Country is widely
known for offering the best ride quality of any currently offered SUV. As
conditions change even within the frequently challenging confines of the city
limits, you can add ground clearance on a whim for heightened capability. Once
you are ready to park, the Suburban can lower down simply to make getting in
and out easier.
On top of making the challenges of off-roading easier, the
Air Ride Adaptive Suspension can lower the Suburban even while cruising at
speeds over 65 mph to improve fuel economy. It also makes the Suburban a
fully-fledged load-leveling master, even while handling massive cargo up to
8,300 lbs. If you are seeking an ultimate family car that is easy to live with
and tough enough to meet daunting demands, the Suburban is a time-tested Powerhouse
favorite!
