Big Block could tow my house!
I had nothing but problems with an 2003 LS C2500 with the 6.0 engine - mostly electrical. Sold it just prior to going out of warranty and went with this as it's replacement. GM can engineer a vehicle - they are awesome at at. But they still have quality problems no matter what they're marketing department puts out in commercials (esp in these vehicles out of Mexico). Air Bag connectors, EBMC (brake controleer), axle seals... We're tlaking basic components here. Quality asside, the 2500 is a niche vehicle meant not for soccer moms, but for families with serious towing/hauling needs. And that it does well, the 8.1 flies even with interior filled and pulling 6000 lbs behind it.
Best vehicle I've ever owned
This was by far the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I got this right after a divorce in 2008 and I have 3 kids. It was PERFECT. So, imagine as a single mom I didn't take great care of it and it just held up. Other than wear and tear the only issue I had was having the fuel pump replaced. It had 70K when I got it and 255K when I sold it and and and....I sold it for a great price. Literally drove this with kids all over Texas and Oklahoma and never worried about it breaking down.

Great Car
The Suburban is a little hard to get use to at first, but when you do get use to it there is no other car that will compare.. Long rides on the highway produce no back pain or fatigue.. The gas costs you a little more but the safety and ride is worth the price of the gas.. also there is no complaints from the back as there is ample leg room as well as seat comfort.. Also no bumpy rides here..
My Third and Best Suburban
Was a little disapointed that it was made in Mexico, but that has taken a back seat to being in love with the quality and workmanship. Would have loved for it to be union made, but think it is a great value for the bucks. I pull a 30 foot camper trailer and a boat with it for family trips. Pulled a 30 foot boat from VA to Grand Lake, CO without a single hiccup. Performed well at high altitude as at sea level. Good brakes coming down Berthoud Pass. All in all a home run for Chevy. Not a grand slam, but a solid home run!
best of the big ones
after riding in a few i went with the suburban and love it, will buy another within 2 years! gas mileage is 19 on trips, what more could you ask for
