who ever said 0.45 is wrong it's 0.60
1999 is 0.55
that is for the 2000-2006 model =0.55 to 0.39(depending on the year like said they did quite a few tweaks to it over the 6 years ) 2007= 0.38 (2008 hybrid = 0.34 same gen front end with a few tweaks and slightly different body hardware)
The Suburbans have always had a lower Cd than the pickups they're based on.The addition of a 'topper' to the C-15,to create the Suburban,was generally good for a Cd 0.03 drag reduction around 1994.I believe that GM had pickups in the Cd 0.42 range by this time,which should place it's Suburban sibling in Cd 0.39 territory.
Even the 1970s pickups had no more than Cd 0.535,so I'm thinking,Cd 0.60 is kinda high,maybe JEEP CJ territory.
