Larger and mightier than the ½-ton, the ¾-ton
2003 Chevrolet Suburban adds a stronger engine for even
more transporting and towing power. For families that are
more like baseball teams in size, the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
is designed with passenger convenience and driver satisfaction
at the head of its list of priorities. And it certainly
achieves this goal, combing comfort, brawn and safety in
a tidy, though large, package.
Available Models
The ¾-ton 2003 Chevrolet Suburban is offered in two
models: LS (base) and LT. Two-wheel drive and four-wheel
drive configurations are both available.
Interior Features
The four-door 2003 Chevrolet Suburban has enough interior
space to seat nine passengers. 2003 Suburbans have a new
electrical architecture that results in a 'smarter' vehicle.
The instrument panel and cluster have been redesigned to
accommodate this increased processing power. Also new is
a dual-zone manual-control heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) system. Additional standards include
cruise control, 6-way power front seats, remote keyless
entry and an AM/FM/CD player.
New Bose sound systems are optional, giving the cabin concert-like
sound quality. An available rear-seat entertainment system
that includes a DVD player with a flip-down screen will
keep the kids occupied for hours. These features are only
part of the options list, which also includes the digital
XM Satellite Radio system.
Exterior Features
The Suburban's exterior mirrors are little feats of engineering.
They feature power-tilt glass and power folding to protect
them in narrow spaces; heating elements that clear frost,
snow or ice; left-side electrochromatic glass that dims
glaring headlights; puddle lights; new turn signal indicators
in the glass and a memory feature. A new, optional power-adjustable
camper mirror can be extended to a vehicle width of as much
as 106 inches.
Performance
For the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, new oxygen sensors provide
enhanced durability and reduced emissions during engine
warmup. The ¾-ton Suburban adds a beefier V8 engine
in comparison to the ½-ton model, which is capable
of 320 horsepower at 5000 rpm. A battery rundown protection
feature automatically turns off the headlamps, park lamps
and interior lights after 10 minutes if left on inadvertently.
Customers looking for added power and handling can opt
for the available engine upgrade and Quadrasteer. The engine
is an 8.1-liter V8 that dishes out an impressive 340 horsepower
at 4200 rpm. Quadrasteer uses all four-wheels, turning the
rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels
for tight turning in low-speed parking maneuvers.
Safety and Security
As always, safety is a primary feature of the Chevrolet
Suburban. The Suburban comes with standard four-wheel disc,
four-wheel antilock brakes featuring dual-piston calipers
with Dynamic Rear Proportioning and dual-level airbags with
a passenger-sensing system.
