2027 Chevy Suburban: Space, Towing and Trims at Riverside Chevrolet
The 2027 Chevy Suburban answers the three questions full-size SUV shoppers ask first. How much will it hold? How much will it pull? And which trim is the right one? Chevrolet’s longest SUV offers up to 144.5 cubic feet of cargo room, tows up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped, and comes in six trims with a choice of three engines. One of those engines is a Duramax turbo-diesel. For households across Riverside, Corona, Fontana, Ontario, San Bernardino and Eastvale, the Suburban is still the answer when a midsize three-row crossover is no longer big enough.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
How Much Space Does the 2027 Chevy Suburban Have?
Cargo Room by Row
Space is the reason the Suburban exists. Behind the third row you get 41.5 cubic feet. That holds a full grocery run with all eight seats in use. Fold the third row and it grows to 93.8 cubic feet. Fold the second row too and the Suburban opens up to 144.5 cubic feet. Chevrolet calls that figure best in class. Space by row, per Chevrolet’s published 2027 Suburban specifications:
| Row | Legroom | Headroom | Shoulder Room | Cargo Volume Behind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First row | 44.5 in | 42.3 in | 65.6 in | 144.5 cu ft |
| Second row | 42.0 in | 38.9 in | 64.6 in | 93.8 cu ft |
| Third row | 36.7 in | 38.2 in | 62.8 in | 41.5 cu ft |
The third row is where most three-row SUVs run out of room. The Suburban gives it 36.7 inches of legroom and 38.2 inches of headroom. That is usable adult space, not a token bench. If you are weighing whether you need the extra length, our 2026 Chevy Tahoe vs. Suburban breakdown walks through the trade-off. You can also browse new Chevy Tahoe inventory to compare the two in person.
Seating Configurations
Seating is just as flexible. Eight seats are standard in a two-three-three layout. Second-row bucket seats drop the count to seven and open a center aisle to the third row. Those buckets are standard on Premier and High Country and optional on LT, RST and Z71. The LS goes the other way. An available front bench seat takes it to nine passengers, the highest count in the lineup.
Exterior Dimensions
| Measurement | 2027 Suburban |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 226.3 in |
| Wheelbase | 134 in |
| Overall height | 75.6 to 76.6 in |
| Width including mirrors | 93.6 in |
| Curb weight range | 5,680 to 6,053 lbs |
| Fuel tank capacity | 28 gal |
How Much Can the 2027 Chevy Suburban Tow?
Maximum towing capacity is 8,200 pounds. You get there with the 5.3L V8, two-wheel drive and the available Max Trailering Package. That covers most family boats and mid-size travel trailers.
Two details matter. Four-wheel-drive models rate lower than two-wheel-drive models, because the transfer case and front driveline add weight. And the published maximums assume the Max Trailering Package. Without it, every configuration rates lower. The package is a standalone option on LS, LT, RST, Z71 and Premier. It comes bundled on High Country through the Sun and Tow or High Country Deluxe Package, per GM Authority’s 2027 Suburban options breakdown.
| Configuration | Base Towing | With Max Trailering Package |
|---|---|---|
| 5.3L V8, two-wheel drive | 7,700 lbs | 8,200 lbs |
| 5.3L V8, four-wheel drive | 7,500 lbs | 8,000 lbs |
| 6.2L V8, four-wheel drive (High Country) | 7,300 lbs | 7,800 lbs |
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Trailering Technology
Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance can tell when a trailer is attached. It then lengthens the gap to the vehicle ahead on its own. Super Cruise now works with the Duramax diesel as well as the gas V8s. Up to 14 camera views are available, along with an in-vehicle trailering app.
2027 Chevy Suburban Trims and Pricing
The 2027 Suburban comes in six trims: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country. Most are offered in either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Z71 and High Country are four-wheel drive only. High Country dropped its two-wheel-drive version for 2027. Cross-shopping the outgoing model year? Review our 2026 Suburban overview.

Z71
The off-road trim. It brings 20-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, red recovery hooks, black tubular assist steps, a high-approach-angle front fascia and the Autotrac two-speed active transfer case.
Premier
Luxury territory. Uplevel LED headlamps and taillamps with animated lighting, a power sliding center console, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row buckets, a Bose Centerpoint 10-speaker system and an available AutoSense power liftgate.

The top of the range. The 6.2L V8 is standard, along with Magnetic Ride Control, available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, a signature grille, real wood trim, a rear camera mirror and a 15-inch head-up display.
Three Engines for the 2027 Chevy Suburban
Chevrolet offers three powertrains. All three pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is standard on every trim except High Country. It makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, and it is the engine behind the lineup’s maximum tow rating. The 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. It is standard on High Country and available on RST, Z71 and Premier.
The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel makes 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. It is available on every trim except LS. It is also the efficiency choice by a wide margin. Chevrolet rates it for up to 728 miles of available EPA-estimated maximum highway range per tank. EPA ratings below are the official MY2027 figures posted to fueleconomy.gov.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Availability | EPA-Estimated 2WD | EPA-Estimated 4WD |

2027 Chevy Suburban Questions, Answered
What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2027 Chevy Suburban?
The 2027 Suburban tows up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped with the 5.3L V8, two-wheel drive and the available Max Trailering Package. Four-wheel-drive configurations rate somewhat lower because of added weight, and every configuration rates lower without the Max Trailering Package, which is available on LS, LT, RST, Z71 and Premier.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
How many passengers does the 2027 Suburban seat?
Eight seats are standard. Second-row bucket seats reduce the count to seven and are standard on Premier and High Country and optional on LT, RST and Z71. An available front bench seat on the LS raises the count to nine, the most in the lineup.
Is four-wheel drive worth it on the 2027 Suburban?
Four-wheel drive adds $3,000 MSRP to the LS and LT and is standard on Z71 and High Country. The Suburban uses a genuine four-wheel-drive system with a transfer case rather than a full-time all-wheel-drive setup, and the Z71 steps up to the Autotrac two-speed active transfer case. For driving that stays on paved Inland Empire roads, two-wheel drive is fully capable and tows slightly more. Four-wheel drive earns its cost for buyers who regularly leave pavement or drive in wet and mountain conditions.

Which engine should I choose?
Choose the 5.3L V8 for maximum towing and the lowest entry price. Choose the 6.2L V8 for the strongest acceleration. Choose the Duramax diesel for torque and range; it is rated for up to 728 miles of available EPA-estimated maximum highway range and is available on every trim except LS.
