2023 Chevrolet Suburban Z71
The Expedition is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine coupled with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission, available in both rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. The standard engine delivers a robust performance of 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. However, Limited models receive a power boost, pushing the output to an impressive 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking even more power, the Timberline trim and the Limited with the Stealth Performance package offer a higher-output version, boasting 440 horses and 510 pound-feet of torque. In performance tests, the Timberline model accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds, outpacing the V-8-powered Tahoe Z71 by a notable 2.4 seconds; the Stealth Performance model further improved this time by 0.2 seconds. The Expedition features an independent rear suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride for passengers, although the driver may experience some drawbacks in terms of handling and imprecise steering feel. When it comes to towing capacity, the Expedition can tow up to 9300 pounds, while the extended Expedition Max is rated at 9000 pounds.
