Folks,
What does this mean? What extra equipment would the Suburban 2500 have. I cannot find anything about it.
Hey @nburd. This is certainly interesting. I haven’t seen it before myself… is this a real RPO? What RPO designation does it have?
SEO – Special Equipment Option – Only available to special large volume fleet customers.
I worked (GPS Surveys) for state DOT and Chevy would provide special options packages such as Silverado seats in a plain suburban, HD 1 ton 4×4 chassis on a 3/4 ton SUV, special HD brakes (bigger rotors), etc. Required up to a 1 year lead time from order to delivery.
Thank you. It is SEO or could be B05 as the rpo. I know for sure it is 1 ton suspension, 4:10 axles, extra heavy springs and may even include a thicker floor pan (acording to my local dealer). I thought GM, somewhere, would have exactly what it entails, but so far I cannot find it. It must be top secret.
Also the drive shaft may be thicker and some items underneath protected. I have noticed the headliner is slightly different shaped, meaning it may have roof reinforcement too.
For a practical family vehicle, I must say it is overkill and the fuel economy would be in the 6-7 range due to the added weight. I am going to pass on it.
If anyone finds out exactly what it entails, please post it. I am very curious. I cannot find it in the fleed order guide. It actually is listed on the base model indicator “for armored service” after the model number on the factory spec sheet.
