One of GM's most popular full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Suburban, debuted back in 1936. The Suburban is essentially a longer version of the Tahoe, with a 14-inch longer wheelbase and an overall length that, at 222.4 inches, stretches some 20 inches longer than a Tahoe.
The 2007 Chevy Suburban earned a 3-star rollover rating and a 23 percent chance of rollover during testing by the NHTSA.
The Chevy Suburban, much like other SUVs, is built with a narrow wheelbase and high center of gravity. These are both contributing factors in a rollover accident. In circumstances where an SUV must make evasive maneuvers, their design makes them harder to control and often results in one car rollover accidents.
USA Today predicted rollover probabilities for Model Year 2000 vehicles at 14-17.9 percent, with its top pick as the Chevrolet Suburban.
