And finally the fifth and last Chevy full-size truck customization follows along the same lines as the Chevrolet HD Crew Z71 'Big Red' customization which puts the Z71 off-road package on the Suburban 2500HD - a combination which is currently not offered from the factory. But this Suburban is more than appearances as it gets a new smaller 4.5L diesel engine. See press release below for full details.

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HD Z71

The Chevy Suburban HD Z71 is the culmination of a “what if” exercise that melds the popular Suburban 2500HD with the popular Z71 off-road package – a combination not currently offered by the factory – and partners it with a new, fuel-saving smaller-displacement diesel engine. The concept uses many production parts, including the front-end assembly from Chevy’s HD trucks, along with some unique custom touches – including rear wheel flares that pick up the styling cues of the front end. Power is generated by a new 4.5L diesel engine that gives this off-road-ready Suburban power, poise and efficiency.
