1985+ in top-of-the-line Silverado trim.

1985-1988, right?

Indeed, 1989 would bring another cosmetic grille update with side-by-side headlamps.

The ones with the optional trailer tow prep package came with a factory installed heavy-duty
Class IV weight distributing hitch (just a added bit of trivia)

Actually, 1988 is when they switched over to side by side head lights.

No, 1989 models were the first to have side by side headlights.

He probably thought I meant for the year 1988. They got the new grille late in 1988 for the 1989 model year (that’s what I should have said ... :D )

Ok, well I did some body work on a rot box '88 Suburban back in my High School days and I remember it had side by side headlights. And I looked up 1988 Chevy Suburban on Google Images, and on Flickr, and both side by side and stacked are showing up. I always thought GM completely ditched the stacked head lights design after the '87 model year.

Maybe they were replacements? Because I looked through four pages of google images for a 1988 Suburban and only found one with the side by side headlights. Maybe those were replacements too or the caption is wrong. But then again, a few other Suburbans from various generations also popped up on my search...

Either that, or the particular Suburban I worked on was made in '88 as an '89 model. I'm looking at photos too, and finding more stacked then side by sides. Oh well, I guess I was wrong.

So why'd GM offer 2 choices of headlights on this truck?
