Just got back from GM Trucks forum and didn't find much activity over there, so I figured I'd check this forum out.
This is our first Suburban, although my wife grew up riding in many of them in the 90's.
Our previous family ride was a minivan, so as our family is growing, the suburban not only fits our needs but
I really love it being a truck based, the v8, the nice interior/exteriro
Ours is a 15, LT, 18" wheels, white on black leather with Nav.
Mods so far are the Tahoe PPV deflector which I will write a post about, along with the obligatory assortments of chevrolet accessories mud rubber mat for the second/thrid/cargo. We kept the carpeted ones for the front as I prefer the feel of those on my feet.
I researched a lot this truck and read tos of info about the various issues, buffeting/vibration, etc..
In the end, We test drove many different used examples, all of them ex-rental. IT WAS CRAZY to see how some of them were so beat up, and that the various dealership did not even make any attempt to fix anything, let alone fully detailed them.
We ended finding an example that was used as a rental mostly in L.A, and the funny thing is, I found on the GPS "recent destination" and it was mostly airport to Disney rides!
After careful inspections and various test drives, it felt by far the most clean and straight driving.
1 month later, no issues, although I wouldn't be surprised if some of them appear in the future.
Our previous Chrysler product minivan was GARBAGE, so we hope we can keep this Suburban for much longer than 5 years.
If you read this far, you probably by now need another cut of coffee, or maybe a beer.
so Cheers!
