About the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban
10th generation (GMT900, 2007-2014), fourth model year; equipment-update year with a limited 75th-anniversary model.
Chevrolet positioned the Suburban as its long-wheelbase, truck-based SUV for families and professional users who need passenger space, cargo room and towing ability at the same time. Its defining strengths were seating for as many as nine, 45.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row and 137.4 cubic feet at maximum cargo configuration. It differentiated itself from other large SUVs through its unusually large interior and half-ton or heavy-duty capability.
The LS emphasizes passenger and cargo capacity, with seating for up to nine, while the LT adds more family-friendly comfort such as leather front seats, Bose audio and rear parking sensors. The LTZ focuses on comfort and technology with heated and cooled front seats, navigation, a rearview camera and an automatic load-leveling suspension. A limited LTZ-based 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition adds commemorative appeal and premium equipment.

How is the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban different from the 2009 model?
The 2010 Suburban adds standard USB audio across the main trim range, revises standard four-wheel-drive hardware and reorganizes the LT equipment package. It also adds the limited 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition, while separate gasoline-only powertrain offerings leave the LS, LT and LTZ ranges.

The 2010 Suburban retail range consists of LS, LT and LTZ, plus the limited 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition. LS focuses on passenger and cargo capacity, LT balances comfort and family use, and LTZ carries the most comfort and technology equipment.
What is the 2010 Suburban 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition?
The 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition is a limited, LTZ-based commemorative model. It pairs the half-ton 5.3-liter FlexFuel V8 with navigation, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, parking sensors, remote start, adjustable pedals, and heated and cooled leather front seats; production totaled 2,570 units across U.S., Canadian and export markets.
Did the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban get a new engine?
