[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had an 03 Suburban 3500 and a 09 Tahoe. Both were great when I owned them, especially the heavy duty version of the Suburban, which they stopped making in maybe 15?

They have a known issue with brake line corrosion in places where the roads are salted, so if you find one you like, be sure and check the brake lines.

Honestly, they’ll run forever if you take care of them, and they’re not super expensive to fix when they need work, and just about any place can work on them.

The interiors are the standard crappy GM interiors, but whatever, it’s a GM, what were you expecting?

They’re decent for towing small to medium trailers like boats, car trailers, horse trailers and smaller-sized RV trailers. Avoid RV trailers over 20 feet though.

Toss up for engines, usually it’s a 5.3L, 5.7L or 6.0L V8, depending on the version, 5.3L V8 is probably the most common.

Gas mileage isn’t great - but on the highway, if you know how to drive o maximize mileage, you can typically get low 20’s on trips on flat terrain.

Tons of room inside. TONS.  My Suburban was amazing. Could put the ear seats down and have plenty of room to sleep on an air mattress, which I had to do regularly because I was working at remote drilling sites out in west Texas and would often be 5 hours from home many days.

They’re decent vehicles. [/quote]
