The 1971 Chevrolet Suburban featured a quartet of V8 engines from 1969: three 350s with outputs ranging from 255 to 350 horsepower and a 396 with 310 hp but with more torque. Carryovers from the previous model years include such options as tilt steering wheel and a stereo radio with eight-track player. A newly available automatic transmission was also introduced in this year. For 1971, a new egg crate grille enhanced the front end of the Suburban. Aside from this, new trim level names were introduced ranging from the base Custom, to the mid-level Custom Deluxe, up to the Cheyenne.
