New Chevy Suburbans- are they well built or a POS?

I've always wanted a Suburban. My great uncle owned his own business. Always went hunting and fishing with him. It was nice compared to what we had growing up.

I've been wanting one for a while now but they seemed to be priced to the moon.

I really want the diesel 4x4 with the High Country trim. Problem is this vehicle is in the 80s.

I could go buy this vehicle (if it can be found), but Consumer Reports (I'm an old millennial) doesn't show good reviews. I don't know anybody that owns one to ask.

Any problems with current gen? Don't really have point of reference.

They're well built and can haul a ton of shite

I would suspect the same engine implosion issue that has whacked the recent Silverados upside the head.

Highly recommended, especially with the Diesel. 35 MPG's on the interstate, around 22 city driving. A very easy drive for such a large vehicle.

My wife has a '21 HC Suburban with the 6.2. I love the damn thing. Has held up well to my 3 monster kids under 8.

Honestly if they made a 2500 version I'd be first in line.

They better be well made. They cost more than my first house.

Our last 2 full size SUV's, Tahoe and Yukon, could not stay out of the service department. Never again.

always had suburbans I backed down to Tahoes when the kids got older and you no longer have to haul at that shite for the babies. Had a head on collision in one of my Tahoes. Thing was crumpled up like a pack of smokes. But I survived. Now that kids are older, that's the only ride I buy for them

I have a ‘23 RST Suburban. Only had it for 6 mths and 0 issues. Prior I had a 2016 Suburban and had many issues. I need something this big to haul my kids and their crap, and there are limited options in this size that isn’t absolutely ridiculous in price…even though I think the price for this was ridiculous.

Don’t care. They better be built better than a Hummer for what you have to pay for it.

You can get a nice used Tahoe with less than 50k miles in the low $40s. That fricker will give you 250,000 miles, easily

That is the result of that fuel management bullshite or whatever it was where it would switch between 4 and 8 cylinders. I have a tahoe that has that and got a chip that keeps in 8 cyl all the time.

We’ve got the new GMC Yukon, which is similar to the Suburban Best vehicle we’ve ever owned by a long shot.
