NO, DON'T GO - CHEVY'S SUBURBAN WAS ESSENTIAL TO OUR LONG-TERM FLEET. WE'RE SAD TO SEE IT LEAVE

摘要

LIVING 12 MONTHS WITH A Chevrolet Suburban in the longterm test fleet left one lingering question: How would we live without it? The big 'Burban played a variety of roles during its service, reinforcing why Americans love big sport/utes. In testimony to its versatility, staffers racked up nearly 32,000 miles, placing it fourth on the list of all-time mile leaders - behind the Chevrolet TrailBlazer (35,777), the Audi A4 (33,135) and the Infiniti Q45 (32,274). Along with standard operating commuter duties, the Suburban was the choice ride for several trips from Michigan to Florida, multiple excursions to northern Michigan (sometimes with a kayak, a canoe or a cargo carrier on the roof rack), a jaunt to Minnesota and a handful of Chicago junkets. Plus, the hunter-in-residence put this Chevy to the test in a "full-out, four adults, two dogs, gear-bag-on-the-roof, guns-in-the-cargo-hold, luggage galore, 3000-mile-round-trip hunting expedition to South Dakota." It earned an impressive four-out-of-four-bullet ranking.
