We have owned this car over 2 years now and we really love this car/truck! It has about 36000 miles and zero problems. In 40 years of driving this is the best road trip vehicle I have ever driven! Very comfortable, great road view, lots of seating and luggage room. Great sound system. Lots of nice electronic gadgets. Heads up display, lane keep assist, all system info in DIC, heated/cooled seats, heated wheel, auto wipers, auto high beams, magnetic syspension, etc.. Drives smooth and holds the road great. Requires very little driver input. Can't say enough good about this Suburban. 15.5 avg mpg, mostly city. 21 mpg hwy. Not bad for a full size 4x4 and we drive fairly fast. Update: We are now at 54000 miles. Still awesome/great full size SUV. No complaints. Great on long trips and amazing in the snow! I added a level lift to the front and slightly larger tires which caused mpg to drop about 1.5 mpg but we expected that. It looks better and its nice that our 4x4 SUV no longer scrapes parking lot cement stops or steep driveways. This vehicle has taken years of family use/abuse and still looks like new. All the leather is still in great condition after everything works as when new. Only oil and tires have needed maintenance so far. Under warranty we told dealer the engine makes a slight clicking noise so the they replaced all lifters. Also our insurance replace windshield to to chip due to a rock from passing truck. They used new GM (HUD) glass. This SUV still rides so nice and smooth. We love road trips in our Suburban! I keep vehicles forever and will update in a year or two.

I own a 2004 suburban and I absolutely love it. we decided it was time to buy another car so we got another suburban. We bought it new and have owned it for three years and already it has had over $17,000 worth of warranty work done to it. While all this was going on we got told we were lying and that we were full of it by the dealership. Finally I've decided its time to get rid of the car from hell and I'm sure not getting a suburban!

This is the second year of this model of Suburban - and it has a few problems, brake booster may be a recall, at times not functioned making braking more difficult. AC went out. Behind the 3rd row, the plastic handle that has a opens to provide a small storage area is poorly designed. Additionally the material on the hatch is cheaply made. Nearly every Suburban I have seen - even new ones - it breaks in no time at all. The outside pillars are glued on and become loose very easy. Thankfully with the new design the 3rd row folds down flat, but it has a downward slope. The defrost on rear window connections come off very easy. The size of the Suburban is unmatched in the SUV industry. Even the newest Ford Expedition Max - is smaller than the Suburban.

Z71 Off Road, On Road, Any Road it’s Great!

I think this is the 10th Chevrolet Suburban that we have owned since 1990. In my opinion you can’t beat them they are the do anything, go anywhere ultimate family and work utility vehicle. We have had boats for 30 years and the Suburban’s have always pulled them with ease while being loaded down with family, kids, dog and supplies. Also have pulled an 18 ft utility trailer with Four Wheelers long distances numerous times. Not to mention pulling large Lawn Mowers, Pallets of Grass ( usually 2 at a time ) and numerous loads of Firewood. It’s a Chevrolet and it’s Made in the USA I’m proud of that! It’s also pretty easy to fix and people all over the country can work on it and get parts. We live in Texas and just drove to northern Kansas loaded down with people and hunting equipment to go Pheasant hunting. Drove the Z71 through snow and mud over 1000 miles and it did fantastic! I can’t speak for others but we service our Suburban. Oil changes every 3,000 miles and Transmission fluid flush and change every 20,000 miles. Wash and vacuum every week. Runs, drives and looks great! Black on Black Chevrolet Z71 Suburban. We love it!
