I like it because I can load it up with all manner of stuff. I like the head room because I have been driving these since 1978 and now I am spoiled and can't stand cars.

Anti-lock brakes that don't always work! And my transmission had to be replaced before the first year was up. I also am having problems with back up lights and the rear door latch on the dash.

I can't live without it. I also use it in my business. We paid $25,000. Yes, I would recommend it and do. I will be buying another in about 2 years. Have to pay off my husband's Tahoe first! He also had a Suburban for 2 years before the Tahoe. Anyone with kids will enjoy this vehcile. I also use it for camping.

Astro van. Hated it. But I loved the dutch door.

I wish people who dont really have a need for tanks like this would stop buying them. They are intended for very specific use, not for urban commuting. Trust me, sedans are much-much-much more pleasant to drive. My dad had one of these things for ten years and I hated driving it everytime I did.

Worth it too put up with the pain of driving if, and only if you need it.

Hauls everything with ease. Very comfortable to drive. Tows beast too. Great ride and road visibility.

Gas mileage - but, what do you expect for a truck. Really even that's not bad considering the overall utility. Expensive initial cost.

Outstanding overall.

Power, towing stability, cavernous room inside, great off-road, pretty darn good highway driving.

Well, duh, big and heavy plus powerful equals bad gas mileage. Plus mine's old and noisy.

An excellent vehicle for anybody who loads up with a ton of kids / camping gear / hunting gear; and then tows a boat too. Extra great if you go off-road, or onto little-used forest roads. Don't waste your money on a four-wheel-drive model if all you're going to do is pull a big Airstream from one campground to another, but all Suburbans are better for towing than the smaller SUVs. Their length and stability are superior to most, and driveability is far superior to the Expedition. The 1992 and later models have better ride and handling, and the 1996 and later have much more powerful engines size-for-size.

Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon ( 1992 Model)

Hauls everything with ease, great ride, and longevity "96 with 168K and '99 with 15K. My '87 had over 200k when it bit the dust.

Gas mileage and tight parking.

There is nothing else close, had to buy a '99 because my wife kept taking mine!

I have owned 14 new vehicles so far. This is the finest in reliabilty I have ever owned. It still has that new car feeling after 45,000 miles.
From Towing a boat or camper to hauling kids with band instruments, this vehicle seems to alway be big enough without being hard to handle.
Excellent gas mileage for a large vehicle 15 to 17 mpg. I was able to get 17 mpg towing a 3500 lbs boat averaging 65 mph!

RATED towing capacity is a little low for such a large vehicle.
Disk braks seem to wear early (at 40,000 miles) but I do a lot of towing.

I am sold on the Chevrolet Suburban. I am ordering a new one for delivery in the fall of 00. This vehicle was recommended to me by Fishing Tournament pro's that tow boats thousands of miles a year and need a stable, dependable vehicle. They are right on the money. My Suburban is a LT model and was about $30,000 out the door.

Ford Econoline was the total opposite of the Suburban. Was in the shop more in 5 years than it was on the road. This is not a towing vehicle.

i hope gm gets me as a consultant and id strike a few ideas to cover the asian market.

Plenty of room for everyone and everything. Great visibility of the roadway and scenery. Provides a high degree of occupant safety. Drives like a luxury car on the freeway, but is a bit bumpy on bad roads.

Poor gas mileage. Difficult to maneuver in parking lots. Expensive to buy.

A fine choice to haul a lot of people or a lot of gear. Great for towing and camping. Safe for occupants. Easy to maintain and has above average reliability.

Lots of power, smooth luxurious driving, very quiet and confortable, lots of room, outward visibility is excelent.

Pig on gas, but thats the price you pay....otherwise a great truck.

The Vortec 350 has lots of power moving the 6000 pound monster, even with a full load of people and luggage. People in smaller SUV's like Vitara's, CRV's, Blazers, Jimmys, and even Expiditions look intimidated by the Suburban. The Suburban is very car like. It feels more like a large wagon rather than a truck. I looked at the Excursion by Ford and that thing closely resembles a bus. Driving the Excursion is nothing like the Suburban. Even with the V10 engine, it doesnt feel as brisk as the Vortec. Why would you want a big slow school bus. GO SUBURBAN!!
