2002 Chevy Suburban
New for 2002...
The 2002 Chevy Suburban’s standard LS trim
now includes heated, outside rearview mirrors with self-dimming
driver-side; comfortable six-way power driver and passenger
seats; side-step assist steps; electric rear-window
defogger; fog lamps; and HomeLink Universal transmitter.
(HomeLink enables programming of three separate electronic
home functions, such as garage doors, gates and exterior
house lights.)
Other model year changes on the 2002 Chevy Suburban
include the availability of the Redfire Metallic exterior
color with body-color components, including the front
bumper, bodyside moldings and wheel flares. Electronic
climate control with a sunroof is also available on
LT models in 2002. Suburban 2WD and 4WD, half-ton and
three-quarter-ton models come in two trim levels for
2002: LS and LT. The base trim has been discontinued.
Powertrains
Suburban’s impressive powertrain lineup continues
with the Vortec 5300 V8 as the standard engine on half-ton
models. Ninety percent of Suburbans sold are 1500 series
(half-ton models). The Vortec 6000 V8, however, is standard
on the Suburban 2500 series (three-quarter-ton models),
and the Vortec 8100 V8 is Optional.
Workhorse with smooth ride
Suburban’s legendary workhorse reputation continues
with enough space to fit a 4 x 8-foot sheet of plywood
on the load floor with the doors closed (and rear seats
removed). Pulling power can be as much as 12,000 pounds
when Suburban is properly equipped. Yet Suburban maintains
a smooth ride with the independent front torsion bar
suspension that is more commonly found on high-end sport
sedans.
Added traction
Chevy Suburban also offers its Autoride system,
which automatically controls shock damping on a continuous,
real-time basis to smooth bumps in the road. The Autotrac
four-wheel-drive system offers four drive modes plus
neutral to suit nearly any driving conditions. The Electronic
Traction Assist system for two-wheel-drive models delivers
more controlled acceleration and stability over most
slippery surfaces.
Z71 Off-Road Package
Off-roaders have another choice: the Z71 model. Its
specially tuned off-road suspension uses specific shock
absorbers and jounce jumpers with standard stabilizer
bars. A locking rear differential, four-wheel drive
and P265/70R-17 all-terrain tires increase traction.
Skid plates protect vital underbody components, and
OnStar provides added security. Completing the package
are Z71 badging, a rocker treatment, a roof rack, specific
wheels, fog lamps, body-color grille and bumpers and
tubular assist steps.
With those impressive choices plus refinements for
the new model year, the Suburban legend continues –
and grows.
