During the ’50s and ’60s, the Suburban moved to a truck platform and benefited from advanced construction, rigid suspension, and a long list of engines and options. At the same time, Chevrolet started introducing the all-wheel drive option for its truck line, and the Suburban could also be ordered with an AWD drivetrain. This was the moment when the Suburban became an off-road model. The all-wheel drive option proved popular during later generations and became an almost mandatory option for the famous and long-serving 7th generation, which was introduced in 1973 and discontinued in 1991.
