Summary:
With an expanding family, I needed to get a bigger vehicle. After doing the research on SUV's with a 3rd seat, I eliminated the Dodge Durango (safety issues, lack of room, and gas mileage). I looked at Suburbans and Expeditions. Quite simply there is no comparison.

I am extremely happy with the Suburban. Shortly after purchasing it I installed an AirAid Air Intake system with a K&N filter and the PowerAid throttle body spacer (www.airaid.com). On a recent trip to North Carolina I got almost 19 mpg with a fully loaded vehicle, including stuff packed on the roof rack.

Strengths:
Secure feeling of the vehicle. Leather interior is nice. Space is unbelievable. King of the Road feeling is great!

Weaknesses:
Gas mileage could be better, but my modifications have helped that by a couple mpg. And realistically you can't have a vehicle this big and safe and expect subcompact gas mileage!

Third seat can be tricky to get into. I just leave the part of the 2nd seat folded down unless I need that seating.

Summary:
Diesel engine produces lots of pulling power, but it''s reputation for a faulty fuel injection pump came to reality for me. GM replaced pump and warrantied for 7/120k. Love the room for family, friends, etc. Easier than you would think to manuever/park, etc. Withstood rear end collision with a semi-truck with only bumper/receiver damage. As I''ve read from others; brakes are adaquate at best. Once you get a feel for the truck, they''re acceptable but is definitely the design flaw that needed to be addressed. Air conditioning isn''t as cold or strong as you might expect-but again, adaquate. Overall, as others have expressed, you get about as secure a feeling for your family and yourself as you could get. Disc brakes all around with the new Duramax and I think GM should have a winner. Wouldn''t have anything else after having a Suburban-spoils you!!

Strengths:
Diesel power, room for 8 comfortably, security

Weaknesses:
Brakes, Air Conditioning

Summary:
This is and awsome truck. When I bought the truck it already had 15 inch chrome deep dish wheels and 275 60 15inch tires. I did notice it takes alittle more to stop and alot of brake dust least than a day later, but the size the look and the all around feeling you get when it is clean and everybody is looking at it is wonderful. I am in the air force and me and my buddies cruise alot and it gets alot of attetion because I am only 20 years old driving a 99 burban.

Strengths:
power and looks

Price Paid:  $35000.00

Summary:
i have loved my suburban have not had any problems with it until last week and it caught on fire while driving down the road. extended waranty does not want to pay to fix it because they don't pay for fire but something caused the fire either electrical or mechanical . have not yet found out the cause may never.

Strengths:
like the third seat and the big cargo area

Weaknesses:
None
