Chevy Suburban Custom Spoiler

General Motors has recalled 2012 models of the Chevrolet Suburban and Express, as well as the 2012 GMC Yukon and Savana.
According to a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the steering gear Pitman shaft in those vehicles may not have been properly hardened. If that's the case, the shaft could fracture under certain conditions. Since the Pitman shaft is a key element in the steering system, a fracture could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The NHTSA bulletin doesn't offer specifics about manufacture dates that might be included (or excluded) on this particular recall. So, for the time being, we have to assume that all 2012 models are eligible. All told, 6,159 vehicles are affected by the recall.
The Chevy Suburban brings a “take no prisoners” approach when it comes to style. Built for hauling passengers and cargo with unwavering efficiency, drivers of this Chevy legend usually look for ways to knock on some of their own taste to give it a personalized feel. Over the years, Chevy Suburban Spoilers have become a great way to accomplish the mission. Spoilers are normally synonymous with sedans and muscle cars. Not any more! A Chevy Suburban Spoiler fits right in with the bold scheme your vehicle presents without appearing out of place.

2012 Chevrolet Suburban

The
2012 Chevrolet Suburban ranks 1 out of 8 Affordable Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 54 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Suburban, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
For shoppers who need its brawny towing abilities, cavernous interior and chart-topping passenger capacity, the 2012 Chevrolet Suburban is a good choice.
Reviewers acknowledge that most people who shop for a Chevy Suburban could get by just fine with an all-wheel drive crossover or minivan. But if you have your heart set on a big SUV with real four-wheel drive, lots of towing ability and seating for the whole baseball team, test drivers say the Chevrolet Suburban is a good choice.
Its base V8 engine might not be quite as muscular as the larger eight-cylinder engine found in three-quarter ton models, but the Suburban gets better fuel economy than most, and reviewers say it has plenty of power for most drivers. They also love its comfortable ride and say that it is easy to drive, which makes this behemoth feel a bit more manageable. Additionally, the Suburban’s well-equipped interior wins praise for its high-quality feel.
But the Suburban has some significant drawbacks. The optional larger V8 engine, though more powerful, comes with a major drop in fuel economy, so reviewers only recommend it for buyers who need to tow or haul big loads. Its heavy third row of seats must be removed and stored elsewhere in order to maximize cargo space, and this process seems like even more of a pain when you consider that most of the Suburban’s competitors have third rows that fold down into the floor. Finally, its third row is barely big enough for teenagers, so if you plan to chauffer adults in those seats, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

One-of-a-kind style created by the exquisite curves of the body kits that we offer will never leave you indifferent.

Top Pickup for 2012

Four Wheeler magazine named the Ram Power Wagon its 2012 Pickup Truck of the Year, and it's an award that celebrates features we associate with so-called "serious" pickups, like a two-speed transfer case, trail performance and vinyl flooring. But what if you want a Pickup Truck of the Year that's got a little less pickup in it? Consumer Reports holds your answer, as it chose the Chevrolet Avalanche as the 2012 Top Pick Pickup Truck.
 Why? Because of, as far as we can tell, its versatility and the ways it feels more like a Chevrolet Suburban than a Power Wagon: interior, fire-and-forget four-wheel drive, decent acceleration and comfy ride. Or, put another way, because even though it's not a Chevrolet Suburban it can do almost everything a Suburban can do as well as hold a kayak. But you can't see out the back, because there's a bed there.

2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Review

2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Review. High gas prices are the talk of the day, leading many car buyers to focus on smaller, more efficient models.  For some people, however, bigger isn't necessarily better, but it is necessary. Especially well-suited for large families and those who tow a camper, boat or horse trailer, the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban is a completely modernized version of a genuine workhorse. It's available in light-duty 1500 and heavy-duty, three-quarter-ton 2500 guises and three trim levels: the base LS, the mid-level LT and the upscale LTZ. Inside its cavernous confines is seating for up to nine occupants, cargo space that maxes out at 137.4 cubic feet, and all of the available luxuries and amenities required by families, contractors, and others. When it comes to vehicles you can buy off your local dealer's lot, there's not much capable of casting a shadow over the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban. It's a full-size SUV, indeed. Modern styling shared with the Chevy Tahoe and Avalanche models allows the body-on-frame rig to appear big, yet refined at the same time. That's due in part to restrained hood and fender bulges as well as precision body gaps that were introduced with the Suburban's last redesign. The whole package rolls on 17-inch Chevrolet wheels, which can be replaced by new-for-2011, dealer-installed, chrome 20-inchers.

Chevy Sonic Super

Chevrolet has unveiled the Sonic Super 4 at the 2011 SEMA Show. The vehicle is a race car concept that demonstrates Chevrolet’s new small car performance potential. The Sonic Super 4 joins other Chevy performance cars this week in the Chevrolet display at the SEMA Show.
“This is an exciting example of Chevrolet’s small-car performance capability,”, commented Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
“Sonic has the soul and specifications to be a winner.”, he added.
Sonic measures 2 525 mm – wheelbase, 1 509 mm – front and rear tracks. Its body-frame-integral structure ranks among the stiffest in the global small-car segment, with some of the steel in it delivering tensile strength of 145 000 psi (1 000 MPa) or higher.
The Sonic Super 4 concept features a suspension modified for racing and a lower restriction intake and exhaust system to provide enhanced on-track performance. The interior comes with a chrome moly roll cage built to SCCA specifications, as well as other safety equipment. It looks the part, too, with a lowered stance and 18” racing wheels and Chevy tires. It also wears Chevrolet Z-Spec concept accessories, including ground effects and a high-wing spoiler.

2011 Chevrolet Suburban News

The 2011 Chevrolet Suburban is one of the largest and longest sport-utility vehicles on the market, along with the closely related GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade ESV. The Suburban is about 20 inches longer than the Tahoe, with most of that added length (14 inches) going to wheelbase. Overall, Suburban gets a larger third-row seat and more cargo space with the third row up—plus larger rear doors that allow easier access to the third row. For those who need to haul the heaviest loads and don't mind a less cushy ride, there's the Chevrolet Suburban 2500, which comes with heavy-duty suspension and drive systems, but the Suburban 1500 should suit all personal uses—including rather regular towing and hauling needs. All Suburban 1500s come with a 320-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8, and they team the power to standard rear-drive or optional four-wheel drive through a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is flex-fuel capable and comes with cylinder deactivation, which turns off cylinders when full power isn't needed. With the six-speed auto, it's powerful and smooth, and can deliver fuel economy as high as an estimated 15/21 mpg. Tow ratings range up to 8,100 pounds.
The Suburban maintains control over the road quite well for its size, though its sheer size and mass can get in the way of maneuverability. Ride quality is more sophisticated and smooth than its truck appearance suggests, and inside it's nearly the size of a Japanese hotel room, with 137.4 cubic feet of cargo room behind the first row of seats.

2011 Chevrolet Suburban

The 2011 Chevrolet Suburban ranks 2 out of 8 Affordable Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 51 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Suburban, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The Chevrolet Suburban is one of the longest-running nameplates in the automotive market, and with good reason. The Suburban combines a large and comfortable interior with excellent towing abilities.
Edmunds calls the Suburban "a compelling choice for those who need a traditional full-size SUV with massive passenger, cargo and towing capacities. We just wonder how many people really do." That's the question prospective Suburban buyers need to answer: Do they really need a Suburban? Though it has space for up to nine people, lots of room for cargo and the ability to tow heavy loads, the Suburban is also a large, thirsty SUV. While the Suburban is a great choice for large families who routinely tow a boat or horse trailer, it may not make sense for buyers who are just looking for something for carpool duty.
