Excellent Work Horse That Is Comfortable Too. — This is a marvelous vehicle in appearance and performance. The options are many and serve to compliment the basic vehicle. While expensive in some respects, this vehicle is very much worth the extra dollars you will spend. This is a heavy duty work horse that does not forsake comfort.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

A Great Family Vehicle And Nice Alternative To A Mini-van — Years ago I owned a mini-van, what the guys from Car Talk called the "wussification of the American male." Never again! Then came along the Suburban. Thank you Chevy! A nice reliable full size family vehicle that gets decent gas mileage (comparatively) and fits my family in style and comfort.

Chevrolet Suburban -- The Ultimate Travel Experience — My Z71 Suburban is an absolute beast in the snow and is the perfect vehicle for family travel no matter what the event. Spacious interior to sprawl out in, but yet a smooth suspension that will have you feeling like your driving a Caddy!!

My Family & Boat Hauler — Great for hauling the family, boat as well as family AND boat! Also works great for those trips to Home Depot. Sucks down gas like a thirsty dog, though. But still cheaper travel than buying 6 airline tickets! Heated seats are great here in the Chicago winter as well...

Chevy Suburban, Awesome Truck — Best Full Size SUV available! Great well built American truck, It's a 2005 Chevy Suburban, just awsome, a great truck, smooth ride, great towing capacity, 2 wheel drive but it's still good, about 55k miles! Although it doesn't get the best mileage if you go easy on the 5.3 liter vortec V8 you can save some gas

Pros

Bling (especially with the chrome wheels, handles, face I got on), safety, reliability, looks, size, off-road, towing and hauling capacity.

Cons

Poor gas milage (what the hell...I can definitely afford it), acceleration compared to my Mustang (still below 9 sec for 0-60...YES, I HAVE TESTED IT!!!)

Sweet Huge Suv!!! — Bought it while gas hit $4. Coming from the EU myself this seems still ridiculously cheap! Always wanted a big SUV...Now with my new job I bought this one. So now I have two ride...a sports car (mustang) and an SUV (Suburban)...Not to mention the PT-cruiser back at home (Greece)...
