Not only is the Chevy Suburban 2500 bigger than the smaller 1500, you get the sense that it is the favorite child of the makers at GM. For starters, the ¾-ton 2500 get two engines to do the dirty work, and it has exclusive new features for 2005.

Those upgrades include a new tire pressure monitor and oil coolers. The tire pressure monitoring system has been revised to identify the specific tire and location, replacing the general warning system. In addition, an engine oil cooler is now included and only available with 3/4-ton models equipped with the biggest engine, while a transmission oil cooler is now included with the trailering equipment package.

Available Models
The 2005 Chevy Suburban 2500 comes in two trim levels: LS and LT. Smaller Suburban 1500 models are covered in a separate review.

Interior Features
The four-door Suburban has a standard third-row bench seat, resulting in a maximum occupancy of nine passengers. For goods, the 2005 Suburban has 131.6 cubic feet of cargo volume.

In addition to being able to carry a lot of goods and people, the Suburban is also well appointed. Standard items include power windows with driver express-down, power door locks, cruise control, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, a multi-lingual driver information center, temperature and compass displays integrated in the inside rearview mirror and deep-tint glass aft of the B-pillar.

There are plenty of options as well, including satellite radio, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a new touch-screen navigation system, a power sunroof and more.

For 2005, all Suburbans now have a liftgate with opening glass; last year's swing-out rear cargo doors have been dropped.

Performance
Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations are both available. The standard engine under the hood is a 6.0-liter Vortec V8 with 325 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.
