The 2024 Chevy Suburban: Make Your Trips More Memorable

There’s plenty to keep you occupied if you live in Kentucky, but to get the most out of it, you’ll want to own a vehicle that lets you travel with your friends and family. Organizing a trip with your loved ones can be a blast under the right circumstances. But under the wrong? What a headache. That’s why the 2024 Chevy Suburban is the right choice for anyone who takes—or wants to start taking—lots of trips. It can be fun to embark on a solo vacation, but we’d bet that your most memorable journeys are ones you take with friends and family. Even annoying setbacks can become enjoyable when loved ones are along for the ride.

What Makes the Suburban’s Seating So Great?

To many customers, SUVs can seem interchangeable. Is the Suburban really that different from the competition?

You’d better believe it. First and foremost is seating; the Suburban can seat up to nine people thanks to an optional front bench. There aren’t many other SUVs that offer that. You won’t have to worry about organizing more than one vehicle for a vacation—a situation that always leads to a host of complications—thanks to the passenger capacity of the Suburban. Now, everyone can happily sit in the same SUV when you go on an adventure. Big families or large friend groups aren’t a problem for the Suburban; in fact, big crews are what this SUV lives for.

Of course, having plenty of seating does not mean much if the passengers don’t feel comfortable. Once more, the Suburban has your back. There’s plenty of legroom for adults, even in the rear row, so that no one has to sit awkwardly during your road trips. The seats can be cloth or leather, depending upon your preference and the Suburban’s trim, so they have the exact feel you want.

A tri-zone climate control also makes certain that your passengers are comfortable wherever they are, even if they have different temperature preferences. With the Suburban’s special tri-zone approach, the driver’s seat, front passenger seats, and rear two rows can all have different climate settings, so there’s not a constant debate over what degree the AC or heating should be set at. This is great when you have a lot of people on board, as you cannot expect they’ll all have the same preferences.

The Suburban Has Room for Your Gear and Luggage

Given how large the Suburban is, its design team has put a lot of thought into making it easy to load. A hands-free power liftgate is standard on all Suburban trims LT and above. Even with your hands completely full, you can open the rear storage space by waving your foot under the rear bumper. If you or your passengers have trouble climbing into a tall vehicle, power-retractable assist steps are available.

Traveling means luggage. If you’re more of an outdoors person, then it likely means plenty of camping gear or athletic equipment. Luckily, the Suburban will give you enough space so that no matter where your destination is, you can load up what you need. The 2024 model comes with more space than past models, so that you don’t ever have to leave something behind. The cargo area has 41.5 cu.ft. of space, which means it can handle a heck of a lot of suitcases. If you’re traveling with only a few people, you can also put the rear seats down in order to give yourself even more room. With both back rows folded down, you have 144.7 cu.ft. of storage space, more than enough room for suitcases and luggage for even the longest vacation.

If you’re traveling with nine people, you might worry that the 41.5 cu.ft. won’t be enough space for everyone’s luggage. However, we’ve found that people underestimate how much they can fit into that area. But let’s assume for a second you do need some more room for your stuff. Your children insist that they will need their tuba, bagpipes, and the amplifiers necessary to share their music with your vacation neighbors. That’s why the Suburban gives you towing capacity, too.

The Suburban can tow up to 7,88 lbs of additional vacation necessities. You can attach a trailer just for some extra luggage space if you want. The fun doesn’t stop with extra volume for suitcases, though. Your trips can become far more thrilling as you can bring along a camper, ATVs, kayaks, or whatever else your heart desires. The 2024 Suburban is giving you towing capability that matches some pickup trucks on the market today.

If you’re new to towing, the Suburban has some great tech to give you a helping hand. Its Advanced Trailering System provides you with multiple camera views of what you’re towing so that nothing escapes your view. It also comes with a tire pressure check and a pre-departure checklist so that you know everything is safely hitched and ready for your trip. Anyone new to trailering will find the process a lot less stressful than they think it will be, thanks to this smart tech. Thanks to Chevy’s Super Cruise, you can put your Suburban into cruise control mode when you’re trailering, too, so if you’re driving across Kentucky or into other states, you can let the Suburban’s technology do some of the work for you.

The Suburban Will Make You Feel Confident No Matter the Road Conditions

When you’re driving long distances, you sometimes don’t know what the roads will end up being like. Some of the smaller roads in Kentucky can be bumpy or even more like a trail than a road. We know many Kentucky drivers like living an off-roading life and want to know they can bring friends and family with them on such adventures. While it’s clear the Suburban has the room for them, does it have the capability to tackle difficult terrain?

Yes. For one thing, the engine options on the Suburban are quite powerful. Your 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine or your Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel V6 will both provide you with 460 lb-ft of torque, which is great for grappling with less-than-ideal road conditions or off-road conditions. Your 10-speed automatic transmission will be a tremendous asset, too, as it allows your Suburban to quickly shift gears depending upon the terrain you’re covering. With higher trims, you can get a Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. This raises or lowers the vehicle’s height to best match your day’s mission. It can raise you up when you’re off-road and lower when you and your friends and family have stopped and are unloading.
