Chevrolet Suburban (2015 - 2020) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Having worked in the automotive industry and having owned no fewer than 35 cars;I can be pretty picky when it comes to a vehicle. The Chevrolet Suburban is an iconic vehicle that has been around since the 1930s. Its strength is the fact that it is a pickup based ( full frame) vehicle with a V8 engine. I own one for hauling people and towing. There is nothing on the market that compares to the quality and usefulness of the Suburban. I tried the Ford Expedition and I was not impressed with the eco boost engine or the fuel economy so I returned to the Suburban. The basic LS trim package provides everything a person needs in a vehicle and of course you can always go upscale and buy a GMC Denali XL or a Cadillac Escalade extended length all of which are the same vehicle platform with more bells and whistles and a bigger price tag. All variations of the Suburban, Denali XL and Cadillac Escalade are made in Arlington, Texas so you really are getting an American Made product, which is proudly represented by a skilled UAW labor force. The only thing I wish GM would seriously consider is offering the new 2024 and newer Chevrolet Suburban in a 2500/3500 HD model with both the 6.6 gas and the big L5P Duramax Diesel motor. Some people need the towing capacity that the HD offers but in the form of an SUV for towing horse trailers, boats and campers. If you are needing a large and comfortable vehicle with reasonable fuel economy; this may be the vehicle for you.Feb 18, 2024

The only car comparable to a Chevy Suburban is the GMC Yukon XL. It is roomy, there is plenty of room behind the third row that no other SUV or van can offer. Carry 6-7 folks comfortably, plus all the pets, luggage, coolers, fishing/hunting/whatever gear you travel with. The ride is smooth, the technology is amazing. In the mountains it handles well with decline braking and hill start assist. It can tow a fairly large load without problems, we are towing a smaller SUV on a car dolly now through the mountains and barely can tell it’s back there, still maintaining 13-14 MPG. It’s smooth, comfortable, and perfect for a family. We’ve had 3 suburbans now, with a Kia Sorento, GMC Yukon (the shorter version) and a Ford Flex in between. The suburban is likely the only family ride we will own (unless they bring back the excursion). Oct 24, 2021

Absolutely a beautiful vehicle. My only reservation is that GM no longer offers the 2500 or 3500HD variants. If you plan on towing anything with your family, the 1500 with the 5.3L just isnt adequate. For me, this is a deal breaker. My only option is to either buy an older used vehicle or buy a pickup truck. I dont like pickup trucks, I prefer the large SUV.Jan 15, 2021
