Chevrolet Suburban has been hailed as the king of extra-large SUVs ever since it debuted in 1936 - thanks to its toughness, ruggedness, and, unimaginable spaciousness. With dimensions stretching to 225.7 inches in length and a wheelbase of 134 inches, this thing is practically a house on wheels.

Chevrolet has launched several family haulers over the years, but no vehicle could get as much fame as this extended, truck-based SUV. As of now, the Suburban comes with either a 5.3L or 6.2L V8, both of which produce reasonable power to move this thing and its inhabitants!

Dodge cannot go unnamed on any list of the biggest cars ever made. The American automaker launched many oversized vehicles back in the day, the most noteworthy of which is the Polara.

ADVERTISEMENT

The 19ft-long vehicle boasted a 6.2L 375hp V8 engine - which was probably why it succumbed to the fuel crises of 1973 and was discontinued. Not to be too dismayed though, since Dodge would be back to building even bigger and ambitious vehicles in no time.

Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country Station Wagon 1986 boasted a length of nearly 19 feet - but that wasn't what made it famous. The most interesting thing about the vehicle was its wooded doors and panels.

However, just like several other land yachts of the time, the LeBaron was discontinued in 1975, courtesy of the 1973 oil embargo. In fact, the oil crisis brought Imperial itself to a tragic end in 1983, when all attempts at reviving the land yacht trend failed.
