Extremely roomy very comfortable. Very durable well put together and mechanically almost impossible to kill it. This here generation by far the best ever built. Hard to find because of its dependability everyone wants to get their hands on them. Like a Rock!!!
"Burban's" are Excellent!

I'd never owned anything like this before! First I bought a '96 with just 129,000 miles on it and I used it to haul a 17' travel trailer and it did just fine. It wasn't as fast as I'd like it to be but you have to consider the size and the weight of them. They're dependable and very comfortable even to sleep in. They feel "safe" to drive and the gas mileage doesn't seem to be that bad really. I just fill it up when it's empty! I had to replace all the door handles and they're just cheap plastic "crap" basically, but every vehicle has it's down sides. That's one of the suburban's... crappy door handles! The air conditioning pump was out, which I hear is common and it's a $30 fix if you get a used one and only 4 bolts to swap it out, so no big deal. I was pleasantly surprised with this vehicle to the extent of selling it and an hour later I went and bought another one. This one is a 2004 and much prettier inside and out. It has a service brake cannister message on on the dash but nothing seems to be wrong with the brakes so am assuming it's a glitch of some sort, and the immissions idiot light is on on the dash also. It runs and drives just fine though and I really like it so far. The people I bought it from have had it for 15 years and had no major problems with it. I just hope it wants to serve me with the same reliability and durability as it did them! It's pretty and comfortable and you can use them for all kinds of things. In my opinion they are a really good truck! I wouldn't have thought I'd like it and I was right because I actually LOVE it! They made me a Chevy girl for sure!

My Suburban was given to me by my father in law in 2016 with 130K miles on it. We used it only sparingly for a couple years, but last year I decided to ditch the car payment, pocket the extra cash and use some of the money to fuel and drive the Suburban, which I owned outright. I have now been driving the Suburban only for the last 18 months (25K miles) in a very urbanized area with heavy traffic. I’m in love with this vehicle. The ride is plush (though I probably need new shocks), the engine is strong, the amenities are nice, and for the price (value?) of this truck you can’t find a better ride. My cost of ownership has been much lower than my former car payments, but I have had to replace a couple big ticket parts including a transmission after 145K miles when I hauled a trailer from Daytona to VA Beach. I don’t plan to haul that much again. The plastic trim door protectors are a little yellowed, but otherwise the exterior finish is in good condition, if a bit dated in appearance. The drivers side heated mirror kept getting burned up, so I had to disconnect the heating element on that side, but everything else inside still works. There are no leaks or drips from underneath. If you’re thinking about buying this truck, I understand why. It’s a great vehicle, especially if you can budget for the cost of the “150K Repairs” (Repairs common for many high-mileage vehicles, often including parts like timing chain/belt, transmission, suspension, steering, and sensors) - those can be a big hit if you’re not expecting them. But for the cost on the open market, just a few thousand dollars could land you a gem in the rough. Based on other reports, 2-300K miles isn’t an unrealistic expectation. I’m going for it.

small annoyances are the brake pedal and gas pedal seem to be far apart and have to move my entire foot from one to the other all the time. ajustable steeing wheel blocks my view of the speedometer when it is down all the way. dimmer switch can't be found at night because it is the only thing not lighted! finally, can't tell if the seat belt is latched when we clip in the kids car seat because it doesn't click when latched.
