Fox News
GM Defense is developing a heavy duty Chevrolet Suburban for protective service use by the State Department.
The updated truck is being designed for protective service and will use a unique frame and suspension that can handle the added weight of armoring and other equipment.
GM Defense said it will be raiding the General Motors commercial truck parts bin for the body, powertrain, brakes and other equipment to bring it up to the required specifications while keeping costs down.
The contract calls for 10 Suburbans to be provided for validation through 2023 when production will commence at a rate of 200 vehicles per year for 9 years.
