I had Westlake tires on my boat trailer (16" LT tires) when I bought it. They were recalled..... ;-(
This has Fullway, or something... Don't really get why the guy put something like that on it since he otherwise seemed to have maintained it well and judging by what he does for work (Sales Director at a beer distributor) and material stuff (big house on big lot in a nice area, several other nice/new vehicles etc.) it's not like money seemed to be too tight for him. You never know, of course...

That’s a big deal going the way of the wife and getting the Burb to satisfy her wantsees. One thing you will notice is the longer wheel base will have a better ride on the highway and some local roads. The extra length between the wheels lessens the rocking motion caused by equipment engineered to build roads in sections.
Be careful though, the extra room also justifies larger purchases at Costco & Home Depot. On the flip side, kids moving back home can cram it all in the truck instead of pulling a trailer [emoji3]

Yes, the ride is definitely smoother than on a Tahoe. Last Suburban we had was a 96 about 20 years ago. Since then it's only been shorter versions: couple of Expeditions (I know, I know...) after the Suburban but after that it's only been GMT900 Tahoes as well as an Escalade.
My truck is capable enough for any larger items from HD or Costco. She really just wanted the Suburban for those couple of times a year there potentially will be four people, two dogs (3lbs and 30lbs) and some luggage occupying the space for a few hours. LOL!
But again, I do like how the Suburban rides and so far very happy with it. Even with the couple of things I've already had to replace and still have on the list. And happy with the price, too.

After looking at prices at the 2015 Suburban&Tahoe [including the PPV] I think you did extremely well on your 2015 Suburban. Especially since it was very well maintained.
I think so, too. Everything I found was in the 23-25K range with similar miles. Well..., this one was, too, but it took a few days and patience to wait it out to strike a deal. Guess there weren't too many people waving a *** of $100 bills in front of him, so he decided it was time to let it go.
We also had another 2015 in the running, but with 170K miles. That one had had a factory fresh engine installed on at 107K and still had warranty until 207K (all paperwork from Chevy dealer). Could've probably had that for around 17.5-18K. Color (champagne, or what it is called) wasn't to my wife's liking and there was something that just didn't feel right when driving it. Couldn't really put my finger on what it was, but it just didn't feel running as smooth as others, even with the new engine. Hence, decided to pass.

ah, someone else who must have a Suburban sized vehicle to schlep kids to and from college. I have two in college right now and I can fit all their stuff in the Suburban and still leave the second row seat up for them to sit in.
Nice ride, sounds like you got a great deal too. You know that leaves money for mods, right?
