The 1991 R2500 Suburban is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the sport utility market segment. The Silverado is a member of a series of two trim levels for the R2500 Suburban which include Silverado and Scottsdale. The four-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.
