Leave it to ‘Merica to step in where others leave off. We all know Chevrolet didn’t offer a Duramax turbo diesel in a suburban. If you wanted a 9 passenger hauler capable of towing the family camper, fishing boat, and an ATV trailer (A common sight in Idaho) you had no choice but to purchase an Excursion. Great if you are loyal to Ford, bad if you aren’t. For those who aren’t, here is an alternative.
2004 Duraburb for sale on Boise Craigslist
The LBZ Chevy was offered in every pleasure possible; 1500, 2500, and 3500 short box, long box, medium box, regular cab, extended cab, crew cab, HD, Z71, 6.0, 8.1, Duramax, do you get it yet? To make it even more complex these options were available in a Suburban body on the same platform as the pickups. Except for one major let down. What is that? You guessed it. A Duramax.

Lets talk configurations. This 2500 burb is a great balance between utility and luxury. Gone is the large center console making room for the classic front bench seat. Perfect for the bachelor and his gal or a Dad and his 8 children. There are no redundant controls on the steering wheel and that’s fine because most of us will swap the head unit out for a hands free unit. Being the purist that I am, the 4×4 transfer case leaver on the transmission tunnel is welcomed. Now a thing of the past thanks to a button, I prefer a mechanical shift from 2wd in to 4wd. Leather would be preferred for easy clean up. Cloth tends to absorb the smell of fish. A cool addition would be these Carhartt seat covers.
The exterior looks really clean and tidy for being over ten years old. Pewter may be the best color for hiding scratches dents and dirt. I would make a few modifications like removing the side trim and tinting the front windows. The distance between the rear barn doors and the bumper may indicate a 2″ body lift. If that is the case I would revert to stock. Maybe it has something to do with the drivetrain swap?
Clearly this rig has benefited from a professional behind the wrench as there are no warning lights on the dash. The engine looks very tidy. Per the description the rig has been inspected underneath and checks out. Whether you are a bachelor or a Dad, this is one trusty steed that will get the job done.
