I'd had a Chevy Tahoe that I basically drove into the ground after 16 years and almost 200k miles, it was time to let it go. I liked the car so decided to go with a Suburban because of the extra room. Biggest financial blunder of my adult life. I've only had the car about 9 months, so I can't really comment on the bones. I was shocked that so much of the body is now cheap plastic. As far as technology goes, I'm surprised it even has a radio. It's so far behind the times that it's an embarrassment to drive in Silicon Valley. I kid you not, my motorcycle helmet has a better designed "infotainment" system.

The Granddaddy of SUVs

This is our second Suburban. After watching people use and enjoy these big rigs for years, we finally joined the other Suburban owners and we love them. For a "do everything, go anywhere and do it in absolute comfort", it is really hard to beat a Suburban. A/V controls are not as easy to use or see as the 2005 model and I really don't like the seats as well. But otherwise, everything is improved, especially the structure of the chassis, fit and finish and especially the addition of the 6 speed automatic transmission. We really planned to buy a new Expedition EL and test drove both of them several times, but the ride and quietness of the Suburban won out.

Mechanically sound vehicle; body rust is terrible!

We've owned our 2012 Suburban LTZ since new. I've kept up with all maintenance and I have to say, it's a mechanically sound vehicle. At 160,000 miles, it runs great although it burns a quart of oil every 4,000 miles and has since 100,000 miles. Despite waxing twice per year and car washes at least weekly, it began rusting after 7 years and 100,000 miles. First it was one corner of the hood and then it was both rear quarter panels where they meet the bumper cover. GM refused to acknowledge this as unacceptable and claimed, "our engineers have never seen this before". It's a shame that a $60,000 vehicle (in 2012) began rusting after 7 years. For this reason and because GM refused to stand behind the problems, I have decided never to buy another GM vehicle.
