    Tow what you want, go where you want in the 2012 Chevy Suburban 1/2-Ton.

Capability

True Utility

With 320 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque under the hood, the Vortec™ 5.3L V8 engine gives you up to 8,100 lbs. of towing muscle† to add to the 137.4 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space†.

Active Fuel ManagementTM Technology

This advanced technology delivers power when you need it and conserves it when you don't. When you're
driving on level roads, the system automatically deactivates four of the eight cylinders. It then reactivates all
cylinders when you accelerate or travel on inclines.

Variable Valve Timing

Fuel efficiency† is amped up to the next level by having the vehicle take control of the valves during intake and
exhaust. It allows you to consume even less fuel when your driving demands don't require it.

Before

The StabiliTrak™ Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control and four–wheel anti–lock brakes help you stay in control in slippery road conditions, and Proactive Roll Avoidance engages automatically to help reduce the risk of a rollover crash.
