Much of the body was constructed from wood, and could seat up to eight occupants.The actual first generation model was offered by Chevrolet as a 'Carryall Suburban' – a tough, no-nonsense load carrier featuring a station wagon body on the chassis of a small truck. Focused on functionality, the concept was literally to 'carry all': the whole family and their gear were to find sufficient space in one truck.
It shared the front sheetmetal and frames of the 1/2 ton pickup models of the same year, but featured all-metal wagon bodies differing very little in shape from contemporary 'woodie' wagons. Seating for up to eight occupants was available, with three in front row, two in the middle row, and three in the rear row.

The front bench seat was split, with two seats on the driver's side and a single seat on the passenger side, which slid forward for access to the rear two rows of seats. The second row was a '2/3' seat, requiring occupants to move past the front passenger seat, as well as the second-row seats to access the third row.This was the last series to feature ' models. The design of the 1947 Suburban would inspire the design of the over half a century later.

The Suburban name was never used again on a 1/2 ton pickup after the discontinuance of the Suburban Pickup.

You look at trends around the industry – fashion, culture, what people are buying, what they say they want now – and project that into the future. The fun part is putting those ideas to paper and going from there.' He then added 'We wanted to take what was good about today's vehicles, bring that forward and make them new and different with that spark of freshness that people recognize, without making them gimmicky or overdone.' Thole also challenged his design team to help bring ideas to the SUVs, which lead to the split and a more graphic feel for the Suburban design, while a more industrial but sculptured look was added to the Yukon XL to give it a unique identity of its own. 2016 Cadillac Escalade.Production on the Suburban and Tahoe began in December 2013 with the first completed SUVs being used for testing purposes.

As GM has periodically redesigned its civilian trucks and SUVs from 2001 to the present, LSSVs have also been updated cosmetically.The militarization of the standard GM trucks/SUVs to become LSSVs includes exterior changes such as CARC paint (Forest Green, Desert Sand, or 3-color Camouflage), blackout lights, military bumpers, a brush guard, a NATO slave receptacle/NATO trailer receptacle, a pintle hook, tow shackles and a 24/12 volt electrical system.
The dashboard has additional controls and dataplates. The truck also can be equipped with weapon supports in the cab, cargo tie down hooks, folding troop seats, pioneer tools, winches, and other military accessories. In the Canadian Army these vehicles are nicknamed 'Milverado'.The Enhanced Mobility Package (EMP) option adds an uprated suspension, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, a locking rear differential, beadlock tires, a tire pressure monitoring system and other upgrades.

The move comes on the heels on an incident that happened on March 23, 2014, when a 2015 GMC Yukon caught fire in during a test drive. Despite being an isolated incident, the 2015 Suburban and Yukon XL are not tied to GM's announced recall of its vehicles (from previous generation models and discontinued brands that were produced prior to, during, and after GM's restructuring in 2010) that was made on March 17, 2014.On June 6, 2014, GM issued another recall on the 2015 Suburban and Yukon XL because their radio control modules may not work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings.
