1997 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 -7.4L 454 Big Block

This 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is the definition of old school strength. Powered by the legendary 7.4L 454 big block, it delivers the kind of torque and durability that made these heavy duty Suburbans famous. Whether you need a tow rig, a ranch hauler, a winter warrior, or a dependable family size SUV with real muscle, this one is built to handle it.

Power & Capability

The 454 V8 is known for its reliability, low end power, and long service life. Paired with the 2500 series heavy duty chassis, this Suburban is ready for towing, hauling, and Montana roads. From trailers to equipment to weekend toys, it’s designed to move what you need without hesitation.

Interior & Comfort

Inside, you get the classic Suburban space and practicality three rows, wide open cargo room, and a layout built for real world use. It’s comfortable, straightforward, and ready for family trips, workdays, or long drives across the state.

Condition & Notes

This Suburban runs strong and drives exactly how a 454 should. Mechanically, it’s solid, dependable, and eager for whatever comes next.

Why This Suburban Stands Out

  • Heavy duty 2500 platform
  • Iconic 7.4L 454 big block
  • Exceptional towing capability
  • Tons of interior space
  • Classic, long lasting GM build quality
  • Perfect for ranch use, winter driving, or work duty

If you’re looking for a tough, capable SUV with real power under the hood, this Suburban 2500 delivers. It’s a rare find in today’s market especially in this condition and at this price point.
