Used 2001 Chevrolet Suburban for Sale near Chicago, IL

I really enjoy the Suburban/Yukon platform. The only complaint is the instrument cluster. They have a decently high failure rate. Once theyre properly rebuilt, they will last for years and years. The front ends of the 4X4 models have to be greased at every oil change. But even greasing them all of the time will not prevent failure. Ball joint failure and Pitman arm/idler arm failure is fairly common. Greasing the front steering components will help offset premature failure. Pther than that, great vehicles

Love this vehicle and mechanics tell me since I've changed the oil religiously, it should run for another 250,000 miles. Overall you cannot beat this car for value and reliability. Great tow vehicle and family vacation vehicle. I will buy another Suburban someday.

Our 2001 has been super reliable. We have taken several long trips and this is a comfortable ride. We have also used the truck extensively to ferry all type of building and garden supplies. Always seems to have enough room. Our Suburban has just turned 191,000 miles and still running strong. No fluid leaks or transmission problems.

I bought the 2001 Suburban used as a road trip car. Perfect choice for this purpose. It has more room than most families of 4 could conceivably use but comes in handy for the times when you need suitcases, dogs, and whatever else. Gas is expensive but no surprise there.

as far as a big, gas guzzlin', road hoggin' V8 roarin' SUV goes, it's the most civilized truck you can get, everything works the way you want it to. Especially the door handles which are by far my favorite feature, everything is ergonomically designed, including the gear shift which, in drive, provides a perfect place to rest your hand while selecting a radio station or cd track. due to the technology of the time you get a cd player and tape deck, plus the standard am/fm radio with 9 fm presets and 6 am presets. as far as build quality goes, honestly it could be better, the air filled shocks in the rear wear out quickly and the high-tech air conditioning system seems prone to gremlins, but if you really don't care about the luxury options, it's a good tough truck, extremely useful for towing and long road trips.
