Chevrolet Suburban
| | Model of the car: | Chevrolet Suburban | | | General comments: | I bought this truck new. It now has over 130,000 miles on it and is still running strong. The only major problem was the trans. and that was at 100,000 miles. The shop said that it is a common problem with computer controlled transmissions. A minor problem is it will not shift from park when it is cold. I found the problem is the mechanism on the stearing column and have fixed it by keeping it lubed with silicon spray. I have towed everything from a 26ft travel trailer to cars with this truck. All it really gets is its scheduled maint. I have had to have the frontend aligned but I now live in Utah where the roads can destroy the best of frontends. Its fuel economy is good for the size it is. I get between 16 and 18 mpg. With its 42 gallon tank I can drive from Utah to Texas on about 3 tanks of gas. I can drive from Utah to Bakersfield, CA on 1 tank.
I am very happy with this truck and my wife loves it. We were thinking about replacing it but she decided if it went then so did I. This truck will probably be in the family for a long time. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Shifting from park. | | | Previous car: | Dodge Ram Van, Chevy Trucks, Dodge Ram Trucks, VW Vans |
