I have always driven Fords with very little trouble. Everyone suggested I "upgrade" to Chevrolet. After owning one I can say it will be my last. I replaced the fuel pump at 70K. At 80K the speedometer cluster quit working (very common on this vehicle). Also at 80K the transfer case went out. Should I mention the electrical problems? Power doors work intermittently, windows sometimes don't roll down. When it runs, I like it. But, it spends just as much time in the shop and for a 43K vehicle, it's not worth the trouble. I'm going to get rid of it and get a reliable SUV. I'm convinced that Chevy is simply hype. I haven't exactly been blown off of my feet.

I thought I had fallen in love - it turned out to only be infatuation. The troubles I've had with rattles and loose trim pieces falling off makes me question the long term reliability of this vehicle.

Bought this maxed out LT with about 15,000 miles, now has 99,000. Tows 30- foot travel trailer easily with 6.0L gas V-8. The 4-wheel steering is handy, but don't use Burb much now as am worried about costly repairs and it gets 12mpg, maybe 15mpg on long trips, 12mpg on long trips with the trailer. I can't believe the depreciation, especially when gas hit $4 per gallon - terrifying. Will drive it until the wheels fall off. Wife loves her Burb, but it's so costly to operate. Probably logging less than 5,000 miles per year now.
Love my Suburban

I have never in my life owned a better vehicle than my 2002 LT 4x4 Suburban. It is the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven. There is no way I'll ever own anything but a Suburban again, but then I expect to drive this one for quite a few years. I can't find anything about it I don't like. Perhaps the fuel mileage could be a bit better (13 in town, 18+ on the road) but then you're pulling around 5500#s too. My wife is 5' tall and loves driving it. Overall I seriously rate the vehicle a 10.
I love my suburban !

I bought this vehicle to commute long distances. It has excellent ease of use cruise control coupled with the smart review view mirror and side mirrors. Visibility and ride characteristics are great in ALL weather conditions, night and day. I have really enjoyed the heated seats during winter weather conditions and love the autoride suspension that smooths the road out, even in rough road conditions. I feel very safe in this car and after my first 10K miles, have had nothing but good performance from this vehicle.
