2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 LT This is the kind of Suburban that checks nearly every box. Clean, exceptionally well-equipped, and showing just 74,489 miles, this rare 8.1L V8 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 LT combines the heavy-duty capability of the 2500 platform with a remarkably upscale list of factory features. Finished in Light Pewter Metallic over a tan leather interior, this is a particularly desirable GMT800-era Suburban. At the heart of this build is the 2500-series 4WD platform, giving it the substantial chassis and capability buyers seek for towing, hauling, winter driving, camping, and serious utility. Adding to that capability is the legendary G80 locking rear differential, a highly desirable Chevrolet option that automatically locks the rear axle when additional traction is needed. For anyone who understands these trucks, 2500 + 4WD + G80 is a combination worth paying attention to. The suspension is equally impressive, featuring GM's Autoride controlled suspension system. Designed to automatically adjust suspension characteristics based on driving conditions and load, Autoride provides a more controlled, comfortable ride while maintaining the capability expected from a heavy-duty Suburban. Stopping power comes from the Hydro-Boost braking system, which uses hydraulic pressure from the power steering system to provide strong, responsive brake assist. It's a particularly appropriate system for a large, heavy-duty SUV designed with towing and hauling in mind. Inside, this Suburban is configured as a 7-passenger with highly desirable second-row captain's chairs. The captain's chairs provide a more comfortable and spacious second row while creating convenient access toward the rear seating area. The LT cabin is finished in tan leather, giving this substantial SUV a level of comfort that goes well beyond a basic truck-based utility vehicle. Rear passengers get their own entertainment and comfort setup, too. The center console incorporates dedicated headphone jacks, independent volume controls, and radio source selectors, allowing rear passengers to enjoy their own audio experience without taking control away from the front occupants. It's a fantastic period-correct feature that demonstrates just how well-equipped these top-tier Suburbans could be. The factory power sunroof adds another desirable touch, bringing additional light and an open-air feel to the spacious cabin. Along with the leather interior, captain's chairs, Autoride suspension, and rear passenger audio controls, it gives this Suburban an upscale character that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in a 25-year-old truck. Even the details are well thought out. Puddle lights/ground illumination provide convenient lighting beneath the doors when entering or exiting after dark, adding a touch of luxury to an otherwise rugged, truck-based platform. Put all of those features together and you have a highly sought-after, top-tier configuration for the 2001 model year: a 2500 LT 4WD with G80 locking differential, rare 8.1L gas engine, Autoride suspension, Hydro-Boost brakes, factory sunroof, tan leather, seven-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs, and dedicated rear passenger audio controls. With only 74,489 miles, this clean Suburban offers a compelling opportunity for someone looking for a classic GMT800-era Chevrolet with genuine heavy-duty capability and an unusually desirable factory equipment list. -- INSTALLED FEATURES: Front air conditioning: automatic climate control, Rear air conditioning, Front airbags: dual, Side airbags: front, Cassette, In-Dash CD: single disc, Premium brand, Radio: AM/FM, ABS: 4-wheel, Power brakes, Steering wheel trim: leather, Center console, Cruise control, Memorized settings: driver seat, Multi-function remote: keyless entry, Power steering: hydraulic, Rearview mirror: auto-dimming, Steering wheel: tilt, Universal remote transmitter: garage door opener, Front bumper color: chrome, Rear bumper color: chrome, Running boards, Clock, Gauge: tachometer, Daytime running lights, Exterior entry lights: approach lamps, Front fog lights, Headlights: auto on/off, Side mirror adjustments: power, Side mirrors: auto-dimming / heated, Locking differential: center, Roof rack crossbars: black, Driver seat: heated, Driver seat power adjustments, Front seat type: bucket, Passenger seat: heated, Passenger seat power adjustments, Rear seat type: 60-40 split bench, Third row seat type: bench, Upholstery: leather, Anti-theft system: alarm, Power door locks, Satellite communications: OnStar, Wheels: aluminum alloy, Front wipers: intermittent, Power windows, Rear privacy glass, Rear wiper, Window defogger: rear
