1987 Chevrolet Suburban

Big, boxy and unmistakably American. The 1987 Chevrolet Suburban brings one of the most recognizable full-size SUVs of the 1980s to Project Zomboid, offering a combination of classic styling, practical transportation and extensive customization.

The seventh-generation Suburban belongs to an era when American utility vehicles were built with imposing dimensions, straightforward body designs and a focus on everyday versatility.

Whether parked outside a quiet suburban home, abandoned along a rural highway or forgotten at a military facility, this Chevrolet fits naturally into the atmosphere of Kentucky.

The mod introduces three distinct configurations, including a standard civilian model, an off-road version and a military CUCV variant.

All three share their components, allowing players to repair, restore and customize their vehicles using compatible parts.

And with an extensive selection of craftable armor and exterior accessories, even an ordinary Suburban can become a distinctive survival vehicle.

Three Chevrolet Suburban Variants

The collection features three versions of the classic American SUV.

Chevrolet Suburban Stock

The standard civilian configuration preserves the recognizable appearance of the seventh-generation Suburban.

Its rectangular body, traditional styling and spacious design make it a natural choice for players who appreciate classic American vehicles.

The Stock model is particularly suitable for restoration projects, everyday transportation and players who prefer to keep their vehicles close to their original appearance.

Chevrolet Suburban Offroad Pack

The Offroad Pack offers a more adventure-oriented interpretation of the Suburban.

This variant features a lifted, off-road-inspired configuration that gives the vehicle a different appearance from the standard model.

It is an appealing choice for players who enjoy exploring remote areas, rural roads and the wilderness surrounding Kentucky's settlements.

Chevrolet Suburban Military CUCV

The Military CUCV brings a military-inspired configuration to the collection.

Its distinctive appearance makes it especially fitting for military-themed playthroughs, abandoned installations and survivor groups that prefer rugged utility vehicles.

Although the three variants have individual differences, their shared components simplify maintenance and customization.

Each configuration provides four seats - two in the front and two in the rear.

Two-Tier Armor Protection

A large SUV may look intimidating, but size alone won't protect it from the dangers of the zombie apocalypse.

Fortunately, the Chevrolet Suburban includes a comprehensive selection of protective equipment.

The mod provides three front bumper configurations with two tiers of protection, allowing players to choose different levels of reinforcement.

Additional armor can be installed on several vulnerable areas of the vehicle.

Available protection includes:

• Three front bumper configurations
• Two-tier bumper reinforcement
• Bullbars and additional protective structures
• Window armor
• Door protection
• Engine compartment reinforcement
• Headlight protection

These upgrades allow you to gradually prepare your Suburban for dangerous supply runs and journeys through zombie-infested areas.

You can preserve the original appearance of a civilian Chevrolet or install extensive protective equipment to create a heavily customized survival SUV.

Craftable Parts and Vehicle Restoration

One of the most useful features of the collection is the extensive support for crafting replacement components.

Almost every vehicle part can be crafted, allowing players to restore damaged vehicles without relying entirely on finding intact replacements.

Some plastic components are currently exceptions, although the creator has mentioned plans to introduce crafting support for them in a future update.

Because all three Suburban variants share their parts, maintaining multiple vehicles becomes considerably more convenient.

A component recovered from one compatible Suburban may help restore another, encouraging players to salvage abandoned vehicles instead of simply leaving them behind.

This shared-parts system is especially valuable for long-term survival playthroughs where maintaining reliable transportation becomes increasingly important.

Exterior Customization and Accessories

The Suburban also offers a wide range of additional equipment that can be crafted or discovered throughout the game world.

Available customization options include:

• Different front bumpers
• Bullbars and protective attachments
• Roof racks
• Auxiliary roof lights
• Side steps
• Window armor
• Additional exterior components
• Multiple texture variations
• Removable body parts and accessories

These options make it possible to create very different vehicles using the same classic Chevrolet platform.

A standard Suburban can retain its original appearance, while another can be equipped with roof-mounted accessories, protective armor and additional exterior equipment.

The result is a collection that offers plenty of room for experimentation without sacrificing the recognizable design of the original SUV.

Detailed Animations and Interactive Components

All three vehicles include detailed animations and interactive body parts.

The hood, rear cargo access, doors and windows are fully animated, while the interior and character remain visible during driving.

The mod also improves animations for entering, exiting and aiming from the vehicle.

Additional features include:

• Fully animated body components
• Improved character interaction animations
• Removable 3D parts that can be placed in the game world
• Shared components between all three configurations
• Extensive crafting and repair options
• Four passenger seats
• Support for towing other vehicles
• Ability to be towed when necessary

These details make the Suburban more than just another vehicle to drive. Repairing damaged components, collecting spare parts and gradually upgrading your SUV become important parts of the experience.

Compatibility

• Build 41.78.17+ - Single Player and Multiplayer supported
• Build 42.20+ - Single Player and Multiplayer supported
• Can be added to an existing save through the load menu
• Vehicle recoloring is not supported

The 1987 Chevrolet Suburban is an excellent addition for players who appreciate classic American SUVs, military vehicles and detailed restoration mechanics.

Three distinctive configurations, shared components, extensive crafting options and protective equipment make this full-size Chevrolet a versatile choice for surviving the roads of Kentucky.

Find a forgotten civilian Suburban, restore an off-road model or recover an abandoned military CUCV. Repair its damaged components, install the accessories you need and prepare for another expedition.

Civilization may have collapsed, but there's still room on the road for one more classic Chevy.
