This vehicle checks many boxes. Safe, substantial room for passengers, great cargo area, standard towing package, many convenience items that are easily upgraded. Generally sold as a 4x4 in the northeast. Good in the snow. Good performance, with above average power. This is a relatively heavy vehicle that crushes the pavement, very comfortable to drive or ride. Overall I rate this GM chassis as one of the best ever! The cons........This vehicle can develop a valve slap on the 5.3 liter. Front end usually need substantial work completed and can be costly. The most consistent oversight for this design is rust. The rockers rust out frequently along with the brake lines. Always inspect the frame for similar problems. The extended chassis is a better buy. You can fit many passenger in the short wheelbase Tahoe or Yukon design but you sacrifice the ability to haul any cargo. In addition, Chevy failed to offer a 6 liter option to my knowledge versus the GMC Denali models. I rate this vehicle a 4.7 out of 5.

Very satisfied with the vehicle. It’s 20 years old and has lower than average mileage. The sales price was $1000 less than the high retail listed by Carfax.

Love the space, huge cargo, captains chairs are heated and very comfy. DVD keeps everyone entertained on long trips, kids can sleep in the back at the lake. Accelerates nicely even when towing, a real workhorse. Very reliable and has held up like a champ.

Reliable American Power and Durability that lasts forever. Room for 8, Power to spare. Tried the smaller SUVs and returned to the Cowboy Cadillac. My wife and 6 kids love it. LOVE. I have 3 friends who drove their Suburbans forever and the two who got rid of theirs now wished they hadn't.

This generation Suburban has so much more interior style than the 2007 and newer. The latest gen interior seats are flat and look modern but after 500 miles on the highway, your back and rear end will tell you that the previous generation is the cats meow. Power and economy is good for a large SUV and is better than Toyota and Ford in this class vehicle. These trucks stay reliable for 200-300K miles and more if maintained well. The Chevy 5.3L V8 has proven to be the leader in reliability of the V8 truck engines.
