Chevrolet suburban

Recommended Posts

I know there are many excellent civilian car add-ons out there, but it surprises me that a Suburban or Tahoe has not been made yet. I know mechanic made a beta of a civilian Tahoe, but I think more could be done.

Background: This line of very successful trucks (not SUVs) is not only in use by civilians, but is also in service with federal, state, county, and local agencies. Ranging from Fish & Wildlife services, FBI, Secret Service, LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority  tounge_o.gif ), CIA, DEA, Military Police, Texas State Troopers (Most police agencies for that matter), Fire and many big corporations and building contractors, this line of trucks has proved its worth for over 70 years. Many different model years are possible. The 1990's model or the current 2000's model, even a 1946 model ;).

In conclusion, I believe a Suburban/Tahoe pack would make a great add-on because of it's versatility. Many colors and variations could be made. From a simple civilian version, to police and federal enforcements versions. It can carry many people, and has good off-road capability. For more info, visit Chevrolet's website.
