The Chevrolet Suburban 75th Anniversary Diamond will be premiered at the Chicago Auto Show to celebrate the company's first vehicle ever to achieve 75 years in production. The Chevrolet Suburban 75th Anniversary Diamond edition will be limited to 2,570 units and will go on sale this summer.

The distinctive features of the Chevrolet Suburban 75th Anniversary Diamond include White Diamond Tricoat exterior finish combined with a Cashmere interior, 20 inch chrome rims and new roof rack rails. The Chevrolet Suburban 75th Anniversary Diamond also features special badging adorning the c-pillar sail panel and steering wheel center cap, and embroidered front headrests.

Chevrolet announced the new 2010 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition Suburban to commemorate the pioneering SUV’s production milestone. It is the first vehicle in the industry to achieve 75 years in production.

“At Chevrolet we're gratified with the customer acceptance of the Suburban, providing the room and utility they want for 75 years running,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet general manager. “We look forward to many more years of being the vehicle of choice for families and consumers who desire maximum utility.”

The anniversary models are equipped with LTZ content and are offered in 1500 2WD or 4WD configurations. The LTZ content includes a comprehensive package of safety-minded technology, including an integrated navigation radio and a one-year subscription of XM Satellite Radio with NavTraffic, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a rearview camera system, rear parking assist, remote starting and adjustable pedals. Leather-covered seating is standard, with heated seating for the first two rows. Heated and cooled seats are standard on the first-row seats. Optional equipment includes a DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system, articulating running boards, a sunroof and Side Blind Zone Alert. Mobile WiFi can also be added.

75 years of capability

The content of the 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition Suburban is unique, but it’s built on a foundation of strength and capability that has propelled the brand for more than seven decades. Inside, the Suburban seats up to nine, while offering 45.8 cubic feet (1,297 L) of cargo space behind the third row. With the second-row seats folded and third-row seats removed, interior cargo space increases to 137.4 cubic feet (3,891 L).

A Vortec 5.3L FlexFuel engine and fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission are standard in Suburban half-ton models, enabling a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds (2,674 kg). Suburban 2500 models offer a 6.0L/six-speed powertrain combination and a maximum towing rating of 9,600 pounds (4,354 kg).

“Its capacity to haul passengers, their cargo and trailers all at once is what has made Suburban an institution among families, small businesses and large fleets,” said Campbell. “Time and again they return to the vehicle that meets all their needs – and for the past 75 years, it’s been Suburban.”
