The Suburban is the longest continuously produced automobile nameplate in the world; Chevrolet's all-steel 'Carryall Suburban' wagon was introduced as a 1935 model (body developed/tested from 1934). Source note: Wikipedia "Chevrolet Suburban" / CarBuzz — Suburban nameplate dated to 1935 (the 1934 date refers to early all-steel-body production).
Today's Suburban is the extended-length companion to the Tahoe — a full-size, body-on-frame, three-row SUV built for families and serious towing, sharing the Silverado's underpinnings.
