Chevrolet Suburban Engines by Year

The Suburban is the longest-running nameplate in American motoring. Through 1991 this page lists the half-ton Suburban; from 1992 it lists the 1500 and 2500, with 2500-only engines marked. Heavier half-ton Suburbans from about 1975 carried heavy-duty emissions ratings that differ from the pickups.
