Has been a joy to drive for 9 years.

We bought this truck in 2012 when our four kids were 13, 11, 8, and 6. At the time I had been driving a Grand Caravan for nine years and we just needed more space. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving our Suburban LT. The seats are very comfortable and it was very easy to drive. The only problems we have had are with the transmission (had to replace after 5 yrs) and the front door pulls (plastic broke within a few years). I'm now looking to downsize as we only have two kids left at home, and I will miss this vehicle.

Reliable and Comfortable SUV

Our suburban provides room for our family of six with plenty of storage behind the third row seating. We love the heated leather seats in the front and middle rows, the power lift gate, and the power folding middle seats. It's off-road capabilities suit our desires for driving on the beach and going on mountain roads. We especially enjoy the DVD entertainment system with third-row screen and the built in hard drive for storing music.

Feel very safe and protected in my 2500 Suburban.

Love it, so far. 6 liter Vortec is a monster going down the road. Good sight lines and more storage/cargo room than I'll ever need.

Most reliable car

This car met all my needs. Entertainment system, a lot of legroom. Lots of space inside. I can fit all carseeds for my kids and a dog.

The worst Chevy Suburban I've ever owned

I've owned Suburbans for the last 20 years and have loved them. Being a larger military family, having to transfer duty stations and move everything usually by ourselves has been less a stress having the Suburban. I purchased our 2012 Suburban Feb 2016 with a little over 80K miles. I was excited to have the new body, new interior design, the factory flip down dvd screens, of the LT package. Within the first year I had to replace the transmission $4,000. next the Rack & pinion $1,000, air bag lights $500, rusting undercarriage, the tires are constantly having to be refilled and myriad of other dash light issues stating low pressure. This has been a nightmare! I would have been an ambassador for Chevy Suburbans until now. I should have kept my 2003 Suburban and put in a new tranny. Truly disheartened over this.

Great Truck

An overall wonderful and well rounded truck. Good for hauling people and things. The 2012 body style was definitely one of the best designed ones there were.
