Love the room, ride height, overall
appearance. My first experience with a
Suburban - I previously owned an
Explorer, and this blows that away!!
That being said, I feel there is too
much "gear" noise heard in the cabin
when in auto 4WD, and I've experienced
some popping noise(s) from exhaust when
hot. Also, too long warm up period
when cold starting.

The size is wonderful compared to its
sister the Tahoe. The only issue I have
(since I own one of similar size 94
Full Size Blazer)is you do not have a
lot of space for traveling unless you
fold down the back seats. The Tahoe is
restrictive. Where as the Suburban you
have plenty of space without
compromise. For the money (Tahoe and
Suburban cost about the same ballpark
figure)I would highly recommend you
choose the Suburban. This is a vehicle
you will not outgrow. The truck lasts
for years. I see plenty of old 70's and
80's models still going in decent
condition. You cant say that about most
car models today.

We just bought an 03 Suburban Z71.
It's for my wife and she loves the
car! We were looking at smaller
imports (Touareg & FX35), but for les
than those, you get a loaded to the
brim full size 7-seater. We added a
10" DVD screen and Garmin navigator
and still right at $40K all-in. It
drives like a dream and can handle
anything. Those imports are very
nice, but just not practical if you
have small kids like we do. With 2500
on the odometer, no problems at all.
Avg 12.5 MPG in the city. If you stay
65-70 MPH (hard to do)on the highway,
you get 19 MPG. Bumping it to 75 MPH
reduces the MPG to 17 - it's on
regular gas though. We love this
truck!

Fuel milage could be better. But over
all this has been a very good truck. No
problems to report yet other than a
couple of small loose trim concerns on
the interior. The dealership service
has been top notch. This truck also
handles our 29ft. travel trailer with
ease, a very stable combination.Also
the "on-star" system is a very welcome
option is works well.

It's been a great vehicle. It's
comfortable, and has good power, could
be better and get better mileage.
Stling is great, and the room is
awesome for people and storage.

Plenty of room and comfort for all 6 of

loading up for ballgames, outings and

We traveled from Florida to Utah to
Nevada, all over for 2 weeks and had no
problems at all. I feel very safe as
far as breaking down.

My sister asked us to find her a
Suburban. Once we realized that this
would fit our needs we bought one. Up
until we purchased our Z71 I have been
a sport coupe advocate. After taking
the Z71 on two trips, I will never own
another car. It is comfortable, safe
and stable with plenty of room for all
of our luggage, a 90 pound chocolate
lab and will tow the camper we plan to
purchase.

My 2003 Suburban 1500LT is extremely
comfortable on long trips. About 3-4
times a year, I make the 8-hour trip
from Indianapolis to Kansas City with
my wife and baby (presently 18 months
old) to see my folks. There's PLENTY of
room for our luggage and all the gear a
baby/toddler requires. The aisle
between the captain's chairs in the
second row make it easy to get to the
third row bench -- perfect for diaper
changes at questionable rest stops!
After 11 months of ownership, I've
encountered zero mechanical problems.
Let's hope I'm this happy after my
extended warranty expires.
I love this SUV.
